“Neville is my brother,” Sir Henry continued,”about five years ago, my brother and I quarreled, Soon after this, our father died. I am the elder son, and I got everything. I wanted my brother to apologize to me. He didn’t, and so I gave him nothing. With the little money he had, he left England for South Africa. I wrote to him several times, but I received no replies.

“Mr. Quatemain, will you please tell me everything you know about him?”

“Then one evening a Portuguese(葡萄牙人)。Jose Silvester came to my camp and asked to stay the night. The next day he said.‘When we meet again. I shall be the richest man in the world.”
“A week or more passed, Jose Silvester came back but he was ill badly. I took him into my tent. The next morning when I was awoke. He was looking at the mountains. ‘There it is!’ he cried, ‘but I shall never get there. I am dying’”.
“He took out an old map to me,’ This map has been in my family for hundreds of years,’ he said,’ it will make you the richest in the world.’ Then he died.”
I took the map out of my pocket and passed to Sir Henry. Sir Henry read the writing:”I am Silvester. I am in a cave north of the mountain. I am dying of hunger. With my own eyes I have seen the diamonds in Solomon’s treasure cave behind the white Death. If you do find it, you will be a rich man!”
I took back the map and put it in my pocket.
“It is an amazing story.” Sir Henry said.
“Yes.” I said.” But I have not invented it.” I stood up and left angrily. I thought they were doubting my story.

It is now believed that the game of snooker(斯诺克) was invented by Sir Neville Francis Fitzgerald Chamberlain in 1875 in Jubbulpore, India.
The rules of world snooker have been improved to a fine degree. There are six pockets in the table. Two in each corner of one end, known as the top pockets, and two in each corner of the other end, known as the bottom pockets, and the final two in the middle of the longer sides, known as the center pockets. Different “spots”(地点) are signed on the table for the different colored balls. The values(分值) of the balls are red-1, yellow-2, green-3, brown-4, blue-5, pink-6, and black-7. The cue(球杆) must be no less than 914mm long. Snooker may be played by two or more players, either independently or as sides.
Snooker is a big sport in China. There are 300 million snooker players there, which is more than the rest of the world put together. So it’s no surprise that some of the world’s best players come from China. They have been showing off their talent at the World Snooker Championship, which takes place every year in the UK at the Crucible Theatre in the northern English city of Sheffield. And it is the most important event in professional snooker. This year four of the contenders(冠军争夺者) for World Snooker Champion were Chinese – Marco Fu, Liu Chuang, Ding Junhui and Liang Wenbo. Liu Chuang and Liang Wenbo were making their debut(首次亮相) in Sheffield this year, in fact. And they did quite well in the game.
