As a mountain，1，642﹣foot Squaw Peak isn't that impressive.But its views attract many hikers（远足者）.Henry Grant，a college student at Ithaca College，was one of them.
While waiting for his mother one day in August，2019，Grant watched other hikers enjoy the view.One hiker，dressed in pink，was looking over the lip of the cliff（悬崖）with her husband.
When Grant's mother rejoined him，the two continued on their way.Suddenly，he heard something scaring： "Paula!Paula!" a man shouted crazily.Grant turned around quickly.________
Several hikers immediately started looking for her，but their view was screened by trees.Uncertain they could help，Grant and his mother headed down the trail.But when he saw some hikers still searching，he decided to lend a hand.After promising his mother that he would be safe，he went on alone.
After 15 minutes of climbing over large rocks，pushing past bushes，and slipping（滑） down loose earth，Grant found a pink figure.The woman had fallen about 75 feet.Luckily，she was alive.
"Paula!Paula!" Grant shouted.The woman didn't reply.She was badly hurt.Grant called the police to report her location.She kept trying to move，and every time she moved，she slipped a little more.Afraid that in her unclear state of mind she might fall off the rock to her death，Grant climbed on all fours up a tight，narrow path by digging into the earth with his fingers and feet until he reached Paula.
Paula was moaning，almost senseless.Grant gently put her hand in his，trying to keep her mind off the pain by keeping asking her questions： "Where are you from？Do you have kids？" Soon， theywere joined on their perch（歇脚处）by another hiker named Simon.
About 45 minutes later，first rescuers（救援者）arrived.Paula and her husband were flown to a hospital.Five hours after the woman in pink had fallen，Grant was back on top of Squaw Peak.

Derek Redmond
It was the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992; the semi-final of the 400 metres. The sun was shining and the crowd were ready for a great race. The British athlete Derek Redmond was a top runner: he had a very good chance of winning a medal.
The race began. At first, Derek was running well. Then, after about 150 metres, he felt a pain in his leg. He fell down on one knee. He had a bad injury and couldn't carry on. The other runners went past him and finished the race.
After about five seconds, Derek got up and started to run again, on one leg only. Some organizers tried to stop him but he kept going. The crowd stood up and started to clap. Then another man came onto the track-Derek's father, Jim. His father put his arm around him and said, "Derek, you don't have to do this." Derek replied, "Yes, I do. I have to finish." And so together they walked the last 50 metres and crossed the line.
When he finally crossed the line, Derek was crying and 60,000 people were cheering him.

When things around the house stop working，what do you usually do with them？If you're like a lot of people，you probably just throw them away.
In some areas，it's difficult to find people who can make repairs，and fixing things can be quite expensive.Also，some small objects are so inexpensive that it's often easier to just buy a new one.
In 2009，Martine Postma from the Netherlands decided there must be a better way.Her solution was Repair Cafes：places where people can take broken items.There they will find tools，resources and volunteer experts who are ready to help with repairs.
Postma's first Repair Cafe opened on Oct.18，2009，in Amsterdam，and was a huge success.News of the cafe spread，and people began asking how they could start their own.In 2011，Postma set up the Repair Cafe Foundation.This nonprofit organization provides guidance to those hoping to begin their own neighbourhood repair group.
Today，there are about 2，000 Repair Cafes around the world with meetings usually taking place once a month.Around 25 objects are repaired during each meeting.Everything is free，but donations are greatly welcome.
The cafes not only provide help with repairs，they also strengthen community ties.Neighbours get to know one another as they work together on projects.Moreover，valuable knowledge is passed along and preserved.Items are kept rather than thrown away，meaning less rubbish in landfills.

One wet，rainy April afternoon Miss O' Shay，the principal，sent for Nancy Lee to stop by her office as school closed.Pupils without umbrellas or raincoats crowded in doorways hoping to make it home between showers.Outside the skies were grey.Nancy Lee's thoughts were suddenly grey，too.
She did not think she had done anything wrong，yet that tight （紧的） little knot came in her throat just the same as she came near Miss O' Shay's door.Perhaps she had banged her locker too often and too hard.Perhaps the note in French she had written to Sallie halfway across the study hall just for fun had never got to Sallie but into Miss O' Shay's hands instead.
She knocked on Miss O' Shay's door.That familiarly solid and competent voice said， "Come in."
Miss O' Shay had a way of making you feel welcome，even if you came to be punished.
"Sit down，Nancy Lee Johnson，" said Miss O' Shay. "I have something to tell you." Nancy Lee sat down."But I must ask you to promise not to tell anyone yet."
"I won't，Miss O' Shay，" Nancy Lee said，wondering what on earth the principal had to say to her.
"You are about to graduate，" Miss O' Shay said. "And we shall miss you.You have been an excellent student，Nancy，and you will not be without honors （荣誉） on the senior list，as I am sure you know."
At that point there was a light knock on the door.Miss O' Shay called out， "Come in，" and Miss Dietrich entered."May I be part of this，too？" she asked，tall and smiling.
"Of course，" Miss O' Shay said."I was just telling Nancy Lee what we thought of her.But I hadn't got around to giving her the news.Perhaps，Miss Dietrich，you'd like to tell her yourself."
Miss Dietrich was always direct."Nancy Lee，" she said， "your picture has won the Artist Club scholarship."
The brown girl's eyes widened，her heart jumped，then her throat tightened again.She tried to smile，but instead tears came to her eyes.
"Dear Nancy Lee，"Miss O' Shay said， "we are so happy for you." The elderly white woman took her hand and shook it warmly while Miss Dietrich smiled with pride.
Nancy Lee must have danced all the way home.She never remembered quite how she got there through the rain.She hoped she had been calm.But certainly she hadn't stopped to tell anybody her secret on the way.Raindrops，smiles，and tears mingled on her brown face.She hoped her mother hadn't yet got home and that the house was empty.

Dr.Dolittle lived in a small town called Puddleby.Everyone in the town knew him.The dog and children ran after him.
He lived in a small house，but he had a large garden.He kept many animals in his garden.His favorite animals were Dab﹣Dab，a duck；Jip，a dog；Gub﹣Gub，a baby pig and Polynesia，a parrot.He also kept some fish，rabbits，cats，a squirrel，a cow and a baby cow，a horse，chickens and so on.
Dr.Dolittle didn't have many patients.Most people didn't like all of his animals，so when they were ill，they went to a doctor in another town.
"But you don't have any money， "his sister told him. "You need patients."
"I have a patient， " Dr.Dolittle answered， "The cat's﹣meat﹣man.He's the man who sells me meat for the cat."
"He doesn't pay you enough to live on， " his sister told him.
"Then I'll sell everything I have，" he said.
And he did.He sold most of his furniture.He also sold most of his clothes.Then he had enough money to buy food for himself and his animals.
One day，the cat's﹣meat﹣man said to him，" Why don't you stop being a doctor for people and become a doctor for animals instead？I'm sure that you know a lot about animals — more than most vets.You wrote a wonderful book about cats.I'd send all the people with sick dogs or cats to you."
When the cat's﹣meat﹣man left，Polynesia，the parrot，flew onto the table. "He's right，Doctor，" Polynesia said. "You should become an animal doctor."
"There are a lot of vets，" Dr，Dolittle said.
"Perhaps there are a lot of vets.But you'd be the best vet of all.I'm not the only animal that can talk.All the animals can talk.Each kind of animal has its own language.I'll teach you mine if you like."
"Yes，please，" Dr.Dolittle said.He opened a drawer （抽屉） and took out a notebook and pencil. "Will you teach me the parrot's ABCs first？" he asked.
Polynesia agreed to teach Dr.Dolittle parrot language.Later that day，Jip came into the room.Polynesia said， "He's talking to you，Doctor."
"I don't think he is，" Dr.Dolittle said. "He's just cratching（挠） himself."
"Dogs talk with their ears，their noses，and their tails，" Polynesia told him.They don't always make a noise.Do you see how he is moving his nose now？"
"Yes."
"He is telling us that it has stopped raining，and he wants to ask you a question."
Every day，Dr.Dolittle learned the languages of the animals.When people found out he was now an animal doctor，they brought their sick pets to him.
One day，a horse said to him， " You're a much better animal doctor than the vet.You knew I couldn't see well，and you made glasses for me."
The horse was very pleased.He could see very well.He told all his friends how clever Dr.Dolittle was，and they told all their friends.Soon，many animals came to see him.He had a different door for each animal，and he wrote the name of each kind of animal above each door.HORSES，COWS，...
Before long，every animal that lived in or near the town became the doctor's patient.He was very happy，and he liked his life very much.
