5.It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble.That's more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.
"I was on the way to a personal-inj ury accident in West Nashville.As I got onto Highway 40,blue lights and sirens(警笛)going,I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway.The driver somehow flustered at the sight of me.He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder."
But Hyde couldn't go after him.Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders,so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident.But he did try to keep the Fi rebird in sight as he drove,hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car.As it.turned out,keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult.Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.
Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination.At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene.His help wasn't needed.Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird,who by this time had developed something new to panic about.
"Just about that time,"Hyde says,"I saw fire coming out from under that car,with blue smoke and oil going everywhere.He'd blown his engine.Now he had to stop."
"After I arrested him,I asked him why he was running.He told me he didn't have a driver's license."
That accident cost the driver of the Firehird plenty-a thousand dollars for the new engine-not to mention the charges for driving without a license,attempting to run away,and dangerous driving.

4.My father had always been an alert observer of human character.Within seconds of meeting someone,he could sum up their strengths and weaknesses.It was always a challenge to see if any of my boyfriends could pass Dad's test.None did.Dad was always right-they didn't pass my test either.After Dad died,I wondered how I'd figure it out on my own.
That's when Jack arrived on the scene.He was different from any other guy I'd dated.He could sit for hours on the piano bench with my mother,discussing some composers.My brother Rick loudly announced that Jack wasn't a turkey like the other guys I'd brought home.Jack passed my family's test.But what about Dad's?
Then came my mother's birthday.The day he was supposed to drive,I got a call."Don't worry,"he said,"but I've been in an accident.I'm fine,but I need you to pick me up."
When I got there,we rushed to a flower shop for something for Mom."How about gardenias?"Jack said,pointing at a beautiful white corsage.The florist put the corsage in a box.
The entire ride,Jack was unusually quiet."Are you all right?"I asked."I've been doing a lot of thinking,"he said."I might be moving."Moving?Then he added,"Moving in with you."I nearly put the car on the sidewalk."What?"I asked."I think we should get married,"he said.He told me he'd planned his proposal in a fancy restaurant,but after the accident,he decided to do it right away."Yes,"I whispered.We both sat stunned,tears running down our cheeks.I'd never known such a tender moment.If only Dad were here to give his final approval.
"Oh,let's just go inside."Jack laughed.My mother opened the door."Happy Birthday!"we shouted.Jack handed the box to her.She opened it up.Suddenly,her eyes were filled with tears."Mom,what's wrong?"I asked."I'm sorry,"she said,wiping her eyes."This is only the second gardenia corsage I've ever received.I was given one years ago,long before you kids were born.""From who?"I asked."Your father,"Mom said."He gave me one right before we were engaged."My eyes locked on Jack's as I blinked away tears.Dad's test?I knew Jack had passed.

1.Australian cities can keep their native wildlife-but only if they can kick their habit of urban sprawl (无计划的扩展).That's the finding of a new study by leading Australian environmental researchers Jessica Sushinsky,Professor Hugh Possingham and Dr Richard Fuller of The University of Queensland.
"While urban development usually reduces the number of birds in a city,building more compact (紧凑的) cities and avoiding urban sprawl can slow these reductions greatly,"says lead author Jessica Sushinsky."Compact housing development leaves birds'homes untouched,leading to fewer losses of birds."
The researchers surveyed native and wild birds in Brisbane's urban areas,including living and industrial areas,public parks and gardens,major roadways and airports.They then used statistical modeling to find out what will happen to the birds as the city grows.The first setting was compact growth-where multiple homes are built on land that previously had only one house.The second setting was sprawling growth-a familiar pattern where homes are built here and there beyond the city's current boundaries.
The team's forecasts showed that a much greater diversity of species was lost over 20years in the sprawling setting compared to the more compact setting."Urban sprawl resulted in the disappearance of many urban-sensitive birds-birds that only live in areas where there is native vegetation (植被),such as parklands and woodlands,"Ms Sushinsky says.
"On the other hand,we found the city with the compact development attracted more birds because it kept more of its parks and green areas."
Now the Queensland Government has adopted the more compact urban growth strategy,which,Dr Richard Fuller says,is good news for Australia's native birds.These birds are environmental specialists-they need a particular environment to do well."While compact development means smaller backyards,it can also make our entire cities more biodiverse,"according to Dr Fuller."The study shows that we should hold on to our green spaces instead of clearing them for sprawling development."
This is the first time science has modeled the effects of different urban growth strategies on birds,the researchers say."Statistical models like these are important because they help us to understand the ecological consequences of a particular decision,"says Dr Fuller.
