An elderly woman died and several other passengers were critically injured when a crowded Virgin express train crashed in Cumbria last night．
A huge rescue operation involving RAF helicopters and dozens of ambulances arrived after passengers were trapped in the train for more than four hours because fallen power line poles made access for emergency workers difficult．
Authorities reported up to 80 injuries．Thirteen people were taken to hospital in a“critical or serious condition”．
Between 180 and 200 passengers were on the 5∶15pm Virgin service from London Euston to Glasgow Central when all nine carriages left the rails between Oxenholme and Tebay．Witnesses said that the train shook violently before toppling(倾斜)over into an embankment(筑堤)with at least four carriages overturning．Early this morning, authorities confirmed an elderly woman had died and some other passengers had suffered injuries, including back strains, head wounds and broken bones．
Ruth Colton, a passenger on the train, said she was reading a book when the journey became uncomfortable．It seemed that the train was being beaten by heavy winds,“as if we were on a plane”．

Superstitions
There are over one million superstitions(迷信), and most people believe at least one or two of them．Many people are superstitious about numbers．They think that there are lucky numbers and unlucky numbers．The number 13 is often considered unlucky．In some parts of the world, buildings have no 13th floor and streets have no houses with the number 13．In Japan, “4” is considered unlucky because in Japanese the word “four” is pronounced the same as the word “death”．The Japanese never give gifts of four knives, four napkins, or four of anything．
What are the lucky numbers?Seven is a lucky number in many places, and “8” is considered a lucky number in Japan and China．In China, businesses often open on August 8, and many couples register to get married at eight past eight on August 8．Superstitions about numbers are so widespread that some people－called numerologists－make a living by giving advice about numbers．In 1937, when the Toyoda family of Japan wanted to form a car company, they asked a numerologist if “Toyoda” would be a good name for the company．The numerologist said it would not be．He explained that “Toyota” would be a better name for the company．The family took his advice．As a result, millions of people drive “Toyotas” and not “Toyodas”．
There are many other kinds of superstitions．There are superstitions about eating, sleeping, sneezing and itching．There are superstitions about animals and holidays and horseshoes．There are even superstitions about superstitions．Those superstitions tell people how to reverse bad luck．When the Japanese bump heads, they immediately bump heads again．According to a Japanese superstition, the first bump means their parents will die, but the second bump “erases” the first bump．To reverse bad luck in general, people turn around three times, turn their pockets inside out, or put their hats on backwards．

It’s eleven o’clock, and Mr．Sims has just asked the class to pay attention for the fiftieth time while he explained a math problem．Carson Webster is sitting over by the window trying to listen to the teacher, but his mind is not on the problem Mr．Sims is discussing．Carson’s mind is on a little mouse named Millie that is busily moving around in his pocket．Millie is not very happy．At breakfast, she had climbed into Carson’s pocket and gone to sleep while Carson ate two pieces of bread and read the newspaper．Carson had forgotten Millie was there until he was halfway in class．Now that Millie’s morning sleep was over, she was ready to exercise．Lucky for Carson, Millie was in a pocket with a button or he might be in serious trouble．
“Carson?”Mr．Sims, who was usually rather strict with his students, was suddenly looking at Carson with his eyes wide open, rolling his stick in his hand．Carson had to pay attention．
“Could you please repeat the question?”said Carson, feeling his pocket．
“I asked if you would agree with the statement,”said Mr．Sims pleasantly．
“Well, I’m not really attentive at the moment,”said Carson．“I think I would need to give it more consideration．”Carson did not have the slightest idea as to what Mr．Sims was talking about．
“I see,”said Mr．Sims seriously,“Then I guess you’re uncertain about whether the product of zero by any other number is always zero?”
“Oh, I know that,”said Carson, who could feel himself turning red as a couple of kids including Bob began to laugh．He knew his punishment would come soon．To his surprise, however, the teacher didn’t seem angry．
“I’m so glad,”said Mr．Sims, turning back to the blackboard．“Oh, and by the way, Carson,”he continued,“I think a cage would be a healthier place for your little friend．Would you agree with that statement?”Just at that time, Millie let out a weak but clear cry and stuck her head out of Carson’s pocket．
“Yes,”Carson said with a smile．“I would totally agree with that statement!”

Are you a man or a mouse? When people ask this question they want to know if you think you are a brave person or a coward(胆小鬼)．But you will never really know the answer to that question until you are tested in real life．Some people think they are brave, but when they come face to face with real danger, they act like cowards．Other people think of themselves as cowardly, but when they meet danger, they act like heroes．
Lenny Sputnik had always thought of himself as a nervous person．He got worried before examinations．He worried about his job and his health．All he wanted in life was to be safe and healthy．Then, on 15th January 1982, a plane crashed into the Potomac River in Washington．Lenny went to the river to see what was happening．Then he saw a woman in the ice-cold water．Suddenly Lenny did not feel afraid．He kept very calm and did a very courageous thing．He jumped into the Potomac, swam to the woman, and kept her head above the water．Seventy-eight people died that day．Thanks to Lenny Sputnik, it was not seventy-nine．
When you are in a very dangerous situation and feel afraid, the body automatically produces a chemical in the blood．This chemical is called adrenalin．With adrenalin in the blood system, you actually feel stronger and are ready to fight or run away．However, when you are completely terrified, the body can produce too much adrenalin．When this happens, the muscles become very hard and you find that you cannot move at all．You are then disabled with fear．That is why, when we are very frightened, we sometimes say that we are ‘petrified’．This word comes from the Greek word ‘peters’ which means ‘stone’．We are so frightened we have become like stone．
