National Geographic Society
17 TH and M Streets N.W., Washington D.C.20036 U.S.A.
The year is 1991.But just for a moment you will feel the centuries roll back.
Close your eyes and you can almost see Charlemagne kneeling to receive his crown as Holy Roman Emperor.
Or an ageing Michelangelo standing in the middle of rubble (碎石), staring at the still unbuilt, sky-size dome (圆顶大厦)above.
You are in St. Peter’s Basilica, heart of one of the most attractive nations in the world …
Dear friend,
Every now and then, you visit a place that leaves a lasting impression – and memories that remain long after you’ve returned home. The Vatican is one of those unforgettable places.
As a devoted traveler, I have always believed that there is no replacement for being there. That is, before I saw National Geographic’s new volume (书卷)with my own eyes.
Inside the Vatican
In some ways it’s better than being there. Two experienced Geographic staff members – award-winning photographer James Stansfield and writer Bart Mcdowell – show you a side of the Vatican that you could never see if you were to visit as an ordinary tourist.
You’ll view sights and treasures that only a few are ever allowed to observe, and have extraordinary opportunity to be close to the Vatican’s museums and ceremonies, and to the people who live and work there.

There is a proverb that went “Honesty is the best policy”. I still remember the day that I was left alone at home. I broke a vase by chances, which was quite treasured by my father. When he came back, I was too fearful that I didn’t tell the truth. The cat was his excuse. My father said nothing, and I could read his distrust. The next morning, after a restless night, I admitted to my father that it was my fault. I saw relief in his eyes. He smiled at me. From now on, I never told lies. My honesty won me great trust from others, which benefited from my growth a lot. It is the “crack” that is reminding me all the time that I have long way to go. With the light through the crack I can see the road ahead clear.
A beggar, carrying a shabby(破旧的) old wallet, was begging alone from house to house. As he complained about his 36 , he kept wondering that people who lived in 37 houses should always be unsatisfied, 38 rich they might be, and they should go so far as to 39 all they have.
“Here, for example,” he said, the former master of this house succeeded in trading, and made himself very rich. By then, instead of stopping, and handing over his 40 to another, and spending the rest of his years 41 peace, he took to(从事) equipping ships. He expected to get mountains of gold; but the ships were 42 , and his treasures were lost. Now they all lie at the bottom of the sea, and he has found his 43 disappeared like those in dreams. In short, examples of this are 44.
At this moment Fortune suddenly appeared to the beggar and said, “Listen! I have long wished to 45 you. Here are a lot of gold coins I have found. Hold out your wallet, and I will fill it with them; but only on this condition: All shall be gold that falls into the wallet, but if 46 of them falls out of the wallet to the ground, it 47 become dust. Consider this well. I have warned you I shall 48 keep my word. Your wallet is old, don’t fill it 49 its power.” The beggar was almost too overjoyed to breathe. He 50 felt the ground below his feet. A stream of coins were poured 51 it. The wallet soon became rather heavy.
“Is that 52 ?” “Not yet,” “Isn’t it 53 ?” “Never fear.” “Consider, you are a millionaire.” “Just a little more, just 54 a handful,” But at that moment the wallet broke, the gold coins 55 dust and Fortune disappeared. The beggar had nothing but his empty wallet and remained as poor as before.
