问题详情:
In 1901 the citizens (公民)of Colorado Springs in the USA decided to collect everyday things and to put them in a steel box. On the box was written “To be opened after midnight, December 31st, AD 2000”, and was stored in the Colorado College library.
One hundred years later, on the very day, 300 people came together to watch the opening of the box. Among them, many were the grandchildren of those who had placed things inside the box.
When the box was opened after midnight, everything inside was in good condition (完好). There were newspapers, photos, diaries, name cards, family trees, books and dozens of letters, including one written by Theodore Roosevelt(罗斯福), who became the President of the USA later that year.
Many of the letters were given to their grandchildren. They talked about the hopes that people of 1901 had for the people of the next century. At that time, there were only a few thousand people living in Colorado Springs. Now nearly half a million people live there.
Colorado library has scanned (扫描)all the things and put them on a website. Cecil Muller, whose grandfather had placed a lot of post cards in the box, said that the box would be a great present to him. It could help him learn a lot about history.
