11．A young Australian woman's trip of lifetime took an unexpected turn into the freezing Hudson River on 15January 2009．
Perth singer Emma Cowan，26，traveling overseas for the first time，was leaving New York after a week of sightseeing when the pilot of an Airbsu was forced to ditch into the Hudson．The plane lost power in both engines just minutes after take-off from LaGuardia Airport outside New York City．Initial reports from the Federal Aviation Authority（FAA）suggested the plane's engines stopped after it hit at flock of birds．All passengers and crew survived the crash．
Me．Cowan emerged from a rescue raft，wet and cold，but uninjured．Afterwards，Ms．Cowan managed a brief chat to her mother Wendy at their Swan View home．She said，"Mum，can you believe I've survived a plane crash？I don't really believe it had sunk in what a miracle this is．"The young woman has lost all her luggage and travel documents，and a laptop of music backing tracks．
"But，as she said to me，it was the choice between the lifejacket and the purse，"Mrs．Cowan said．"The thought of treading water without a lifejacket would have been unbearable"．
Mrs．Cowan said her eldest daughter had carefully planned the trip for two years and intended to visit friends in North Carolina．
The holiday was not intended for work，but Emma was open to any opportunities that arose for singing in the US，Mrs．Cowan said．
"She'll continue to have a great time while she's over there．"
The family，staunch（忠实的）Christians，say it was the hand of God that saved their daughter．"It wasn't her time to go．"

8．The name"cowboy"conjures up many different images from movies，songs and TV．These imagined cowboys range from white-hat-wearing heroes to gun-shooting hooligans（流氓）．But，cowboys are actually real people from US history．?
When the US Civil War ended，many soldiers had no place to call home．So，they began to drift to the country's rural West．Ranchers（农场主） hired these men to take care of the cattle and work around the ranch．When the ranch owner wanted to sell the cattle，the cowboys would round up the herd from the open prairie（牧场） and drive the cattle miles to the market．?
With the invention of barbed wire（铁丝网），the cowboy era（1865-1890）began to come to an end．But people in the East had always been curious about their lifestyle．Many country/western songs during this time tried to capture the true cowboy spirit．Newspapers published cowboy tales in serial form and adventure novels followed．The bigger the fiction，the better the sales．These novels often portrayed cowboys as cruel and violent men．Cowboys carried the bad reputation for many years afterwards．
When movies began to be popular in the 1920s，the cowboy image changed again．Now，a cowboy became the great white knight（骑士） that loved his horse more than the beautiful ladies he rescued．As the cowboy of the"Old West"spent more time with his horse than the ladies，this era's image was not entirely false．
Then，in the 50s，Hollywood began producing so-called"spaghetti westerns（意大利西部片）"．They earned the nickname because Italian companies financed the films and TV shows．This started the decade's"Cowboy Craze"．While this didn't last long，it made modern country/western music，fashion and dance extremely popular．?
In recent years，with the help of musicians，radio stations and bars，cowboy nostalgia（怀旧情绪） has returned．Even though his image is still changing-somewhere between ballad singing country boy and bar room fighter-there's one thing for sure，you can't keep the cowboy down．．
