David Saucez’s bank robbing was as bad as his bingo Desperate to pay of his gambling debts, he held up his local bank, and made off with around 2,000 pounds before turning up for work as a member of Belgian gendarmerie

It was the earliest his colleagues could have possible expected For Saucez not only use his service pistol in the hold-up, but also made his get-away in his own easily recognized family car

The car’s number was taken by the manager of the Sub Belge bank in the Brussels suburb

of Schaerbeek He witnessed the hold-up, but was unnoticed by Saucez

The unhappy gendarme told colleagues who arrested him that he had run up a debt of 60,000 Belgian francs (around 800 pounds), playing bingo He was also paying off a home loan, and his wife – who works in another bank – did not know of his gambling

Saucez, described as a “model gendarme” with six years’ service, said he considered robbing the same bank the week before His nerve falled at the last moment, and he ended up asking for advice on a loan

He was well equipped for the job, if not the getaway Producing his service pistol, he demanded and got the money and then made off in his distinctive red Vauxhall

The gendarmerie, having answered the manager’s alarm call too late to catch the robber red handed, at least ha had the information to catch him red-vehicled

Part 2:

The Cave People in China.

In China’s inhospitable Northeast, almost 40 million people live caves In Bai Ping, one of the villages in the area, everyone lives in one Even the school is in cave

The cave, or yao dong, are ideal homes in an area with such a barren environment, where

there are not enough stones and wood for building Loess, the first soil brought by the wind from the Gobi Desert, is the only abundant material Over the years, the soil turns into loess stone, which is soft and fragile, and is easy to work with It only takes four or five people a few days to

build a yao dong.

Cave homes are four five metres wide and up to nine metres deep, big enough to house a family Before the building starts, it is important to choose the right location for the cave The builders make sure that the cave faces south so it will get as much sun as possible The caves are then dug either sideways into the face of the valley, or vertical, like wells

The men start building the home by removing a huge plece of loess, cleaning a space for what will be the yard, then starting on the cave itself Once the tunnel earthen walls are built inside to make the structure stronger A stone archway is also installed to prevent the house from

collapsing Openings are then made for a door and windows A yao dong built in this way will

last at least 100 years, as long as it is regularly maintained

In some parts of the Northeast, nearly 90% of the population live in caves It is not just practical but economical too Each cave costs about 400 yuan (approximately HK$ 550), half the price of a conversation brick house In an area where famers count themselves lucky to earn 150 yuan a month, cost-cutting is important

Inside the caves are cool They provide a welcome escape from the summer heat, which can reach 40 degrees Celsius The walls and ceilings are often covered with newspapers because

it slows down the rate of erosion of the loess Many of the caves are decorated with colorful flowers animal shapes make from papers

The concept of these cave homes may even become popular in the West Many “green architects” see them as having useful applications in modern housing They are cheap, easy to maintain, and could easily be adapted for solar power Without realizing it, the villages of China’s Northeast may have provided the answer to housing problems in the developed world

Part 3:

Man Would you like to see a movie tonight?

Woman Yes, I’d love to But don’t finish work until half nine Can we see anything then?

Man Yes, I think so There’s this one It has a late show tonight And it looks good too Woman All right Let’s see that one

Woman Did you find the flat you wanted?

Man Yes, I did And I got a good deal, I think It’s almost 500 square feet I pay just over

5,000 a month for it

Woman That’s a nice personal stereo, John Did you get it recently?

Man Yes, it was quite a bargain It was over one thousand dollars before But I got

300 dollars off in the sale

Woman Here’s the job you might be interested in, Sarah

Sarah Yes, but is says Form 6 or above I left school at Form 5, remember?

Woman How about this one?

Sarah Yes, but my tying isn’t very good

Woman Well, why don’t you apply for this then?

Sarah I think I will
