Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveler in the year 900 wrote that it
was played "long long ago". Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere
from Japan to Europc since 1400. The name "chess" is interesting. When one player is attacking the
other"s king, he says, in English, "check". When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere,
he says "check mate". These words come from Persian (波斯语). It means "the king is dead". That is
when the game is over, and one player has won.
Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now.
For example,at one time the queen could only movc one square (方块) at a time. Now she is the
strongest piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time
and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don"t have to be a winner in order to enjoy it.
Two people sitting at the same table do not always play it. The first time the Amcricans beat the Russians
was in a match played by radio. Some people are able to play with many people at the same time. One
man played 400 games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the
slowest game in the world.

     Beijing"s battle to correct English-language signs before the 2008 Olympics has started.
     By the end of the year, all public "WC" in the city will be called "toilets". In Western countries people
don"t use "WC", because it is quite rude in English.
     Road signs are also on the list. These signs will be changed into real English words. For example,
"Dong Chang" an Jie" will become "East Chang"an Avenue".
     But there is still a question. What to do about menus? Thousands of tourists, athletes and reporters
will visit the city, and most of them can"t speak Chinese or understand Chinese characters.
     Now linguists (语言学家) are trying hard to translate popular Chinese dishes like "ants climbing the
tree" into good English.

aged 5 to 10 to try out different jobs after it opens.

Park in Japan. It became an attraction to kids. Now it will begin in China. It will offer more than 50 jobs,
including pilots, doctors, police officers and lawyers. Inside the city, every kid would get a bank
account (账户) holding special money. And they can only spend the money in the park. They could
earn more money by working in different places.                          (written in 2007)
