ある日曜日、学校でクイズ大会が開かれた。それにジンソンとゲマが参加する。どうしてもクイズ大会で優勝したいゲマは、大会前日に問題作りを担当しているジョンに近づき、なんとか問題と答えを教えてくれないかとしつこく付きまとう。そんなゲマに嫌気がさしたジョンは、ゲマではなく、ジンソンに勝たせようと、ジョンに最終問題を教えてしまう。正義感の強いジンソンは、そんなジョンに腹を立て、最終問題を放棄し、結果ゲマが優勝する。

感想：
大会の主催者であるジョンにとって、そしておそらく読者にとっても、ゲマが優勝しない事が「正義」であったが、それを達成するために、ジョンは不正を行った。最終的に、ジョンを睨め付け軽蔑したジンソンが「正義」となった。いったい「正義」とは何なのか考えさせられた。最終問題の答えを知っていながらも、それを答えようとしなかったジンソンの潔さに感動を覚えた。 show less

It's a very interesting story about solar cooking. A solar cooker is a type of stove that needs only the light from the sun or sunshine, to cook food. Solar energy costs nothing, but people can use it only in hot countries.
People around the world may soon not have enough traditional fuels, so sunshine giving an alternative to fire- so we can help stop the terrible deforestation which is occurring in some countries as well. And I should add some important information- the solar cooker can show more make women's life easier in hot countries. Women from Africa have been walk about 2-3 miles or so to collect wood and then they have to tend the fire, and smoke from the fire burns their eyes and chokes their lungs. This pollution has leaded to the deaths of two million women and children each year.
I recommend this position- You can know how everybody can help the Earth. show less

Here in the Mission District, these groups of artists maintain their cultural identity in traditional san Francisco style! Many of these artists feel that the mission is successful neighborhood where new immigrants are welcome. In the Mission District, people are often able to fit into a new society very easily, why? Because the environment of the Mission is so comfortable for them. It may be this comfortable feeling that helps to make this multicultural area such a very special kind of neighborhood.
