Once upon a time，there was a millionaire who loved money more than the other things in the world．He didn't know exactly how much he had，so he took on a little girl to count all his money for him．
It took the little girl six days to count all the money．When she told the millionaire that he had forty﹣two million dollars，he was wild with joy and asked，"How much money do you want？"He thought she was only a child and he could give her less money．
The girl said，"Well，I worked for six days，so I think you should pay me for six days．Give me two pennies for the first day．Each day after that，just give me the amount you give me the day before，multiplied（乘） by itself．"
The millionaire thought that in this way he would only have to give her a few dollars．What a foolish girl!
On the first day the millionaire paid her two pennies，and on the second day，two pennies times two pennies，or four pennies．
Each day after that，he gave her the number of pennies he had given her the day before，multiplied by itself．And by the sixth day the foolish millionaire had to give the clever girl all his money．

My name is Daisy. I live with my mother and father in a flat. The flat is on the fifth floor of a tall building. There are 14 floors and a parking garage(车库) in the basement(地下室). My father parks his car there.
Our flat is not in the center of the city. It is 2 miles from the center. My father works in the city, so he goes to work by train every day. He doesn't drive his car. He uses his car only on weekends. Then he takes us into the country or to the beach.
Our flat has three bedrooms. There is a bedroom for my mother and father,one for me and one for my brother. There is a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. We do not have a garden, but there is a small balcony. There are some plants on the balcony. In summer we often sit out on the balcony because it gets very hot inside the flat. Our flat is small, but we are very happy in it. Daisy's flat is on the fifteenth floor.
Their flat isn't in the middle of the city.
Daisy's father goes to work by car every day.
