When Susan Chen left high school, she wanted to go to university. Unfortunately, her father was quite poor, and a university education cost a lot of money.
“Take the entrance examination,” her father said, “and we’ll think of something if you pass.”
Susan took the examination. She did not score very high marks, but she scored enough, and was offered a place at the university.
“I’m very proud of you, Susan,” her father said. “I must find the money for a university education for you somehow.”
“But how, Dad?” Susan asked.
“Well, I can sell my car and work a lot of overtime. I can even work at two jobs if necessary, one during the day and one at night.”
“You’re a very generous father,” Susan said.
“Your future is worth the sacrifice,” he told her.
The next day he sold his car and asked his boss to give him three hours overtime every day. This meant walking to work and working 12 hours a day, seven days a week, but he did not complain. His daughter’s education was worth it.

The American secret service began in 1865. It has many important jobs. One is to stop different types of fraud(诈骗)， such as printing fake(假的) money, credit card(信用卡) fraud and computer fraud. The other is to protect the president at all times.
The secret service’s earliest job was to stop people from making fake money. The secret service agents(特工) still have to do that because the criminals(罪犯) are smarter now. They are better at using computers and other expensive equipment. But agents are much smarter.
Protecting the president is hard. The most dangerous places are outdoors. Agents can’t check every person in the crowd, so they must watch the crowd carefully. And they always follow the president. They’re just like the president’s shadow.
Unluckily, some criminals do want to give the president trouble, or even hurt him. The secret service agents try to find them and stop them when they want to do something bad. It’s a dangerous, but important job. The secret service helps keep the president and the country safe.
