题目内容
16．It was a cold March day in High Point，North California．The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball were waiting for the next turns at bat during practice，stamping their feet to stay warm．English-grader Taylor Bisbees shivered（发抖）a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play．
The two didn't know each other well---Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before．
Suddenly，Paris fell to the ground，"Paris's eye rolled back，"Taylor says．"She started shaking．I knew it was an emergency．"
It certainly was，Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure．Without immediate medical care，Paris would die．"Does anyone know CPR？"
CPR is a life-saving technique．To do CPR，you press on the sick person's chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs．Without oxygen the brain is damaging quickly．
Amazingly，Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before．Still，she hesitated．She didn't think she knew it well enough．But when no one else came forward，Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR，"It was scary．I knew it was the difference between life and death，"says Taylor．
Taylor's swift action helped her teammates calm down．One girl called 911．Two more ran to get the school nurse，who brought a defibrillator，an electronic devices（器械）that can shock the heart back into work．Luck stayed with them：Paris's heartbeat returned．
"I know I was really lucky，"Paris say now．"Most people don't survive this．My team saved my life．"
Experts say Paris is right：For a sudden heart failure，the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly．
Today，Paris is back on the softball team．Taylor will apply to college soon．She wants to be a nurse．"I feel more confident in my actions now，"Taylor says．"I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation．"
21．What happened to Paris on a March day？B

7．Nowhere is the place you never want to go．It's not on any departure board，and though some people like to travel so far off the motherland that it looks like Nowhere，most wanderers ultimately long to get somewhere．Yet every now and then-if there's nowhere else you can be and all other options have gone-going nowhere can prove the best adventure around．
Nowhere is entirely uncharted； you've never read a guidebook entry on it or followed others'suggestions on a train ride through its suburbs．Few YouTube videos exist of it．Moreover，it's free from the most dangerous kind of luggage，expectation．Knowing nothing of a place in advance opens us up to a high energy we seldom encounter while walking around Paris or Kyoto with a list of the 10things we want-or，in embarrassing truth，feel we need-to see．
I'll never forget a bright January morning when I landed in San Francisco from Santa Barbara，just in time to see my connecting flight to Osaka take off．I hurried to the nearest airline counter to ask for help，and was told that I would have to wait 24hours，at my own expense，for the next day's flight．An unanticipated delay is exactly what nobody wants on his schedule．The airline didn't answer for fog-related delays，a gate agent declared，and no alternative flights were available．
Millbrae，California，the drive-through town that encircles San Francisco's airport，was a mystery to me．With one of the world's most beautiful cities only 40minutes to the north，and the unofficial center of the world，Silicon Valley，27 miles to the south，Millbrae is known mostly as a place to fly away from，at high speed．
It was a cloudless，warm afternoon as a shuttle bus deposited me in Millbrae．Locals were taking their dogs for walks along the bay while couples wandered hand in hand beside an expanse of blue that，in San Francisco，would have been crowded with people and official"attractions．"I checked in to my hotel and registered．
Suddenly I was enjoying a luxury I never allow myself，even on vacation：a whole day free．And as I made my way back to my hotel，lights began to come on in the hills of Millbrae，and I realized I had never seen a sight half so lovely in glamorous，industrial Osaka．Its neighbor Kyoto is attractive，but it attracts 50million visitors a year．
Who knows if I'll ever visit Millbrae again？But I'm confident that Nowhere will slip into my schedule many times more．No place，after all，is uninteresting to the interested eye．Nowhere is so far off the map that its smallest beauties are a discovery．
