12．It was August 10，2011．Diana Nyad was dozens of miles into her dream to complete a 103-mile swim from Cuba to Key West．Because of the currents in the Florida Straits，Nyad would have to last 60hours-if everything went perfectly．
For two years，this dream of swimming from Cuba to Florida had been part of her every waking hour．She was about to turn 60．"I wanted to be filled with commitment to the best of myself so that 1wasn't looking back later saying，'What have I done with my life？'''says Nyad．
Those extreme physical struggles are not new to her．In 1974，25-year-old Nyad became the first person to swim across Lake Ontario against the current．A year later，Nyad's 28-mile swim around the island of Manhattan made the front page of the New York Times．
"Physically，I'm stronger．I weigh a lot more，"Nyad said after a training swim in Key West in June．"There are also mental advantages to being older，"says Steven Munatones，an expert in swimming．
Feeling a sharp pain in her right shoulder，she changed the angle of stroke （划），telling herself to go gently until her hand caught the water．In the 17th hour，she swam over to the boat，and the crew located a pain reliever．Nyad took it．She lay on her back，rolled onto her belly and continued swimming，and then she'd turn on her back again，gasping，unable to fill her lungs．"I'm trying to make it．I'm barely going forward．I feel so sick．This has been my dream forever，but I can hardly make it another hour，"Nyad told David Marchant，the boat's navigator （领航员）．Between the 23rd and 27th hours，Nyad had gone just five miles．"OK，Diana，I'm going to touch you，and it's going to be over，"Stoll said．Nyad agreed．And with that，29hours and 43minutes after she'd leaped into the water，the swim came to an end．
"She just wouldn't quit．It was more amazing to see her not make it the way she fought than if everything had gone exactly right and she'd made it the whole way，"says Mark Sollinger，who piloted Nyad's lead boat．
At a press．conference in Key West after being pulled onto the support boat，Nyad choked back tears and said，"Sometimes the will is so strong．But I was shaking and freezing，and I thought，'There's no mind over matter anymore．'I think I'm going to have to go to my grave without swimming from Cuba to Florida．"
But when Nyad returned home to Los Angeles，the pain began to fade．"Something says to me the goal is still there，"says Nyad．

11．In 1857 Louis Pasteur accepted a position at the Ecole Normale Superieure，a prestigious school in Paris．There，he continued the research on fermentation（发酵） that he had started earlier．
Ultimately，his research led to the process of pasteurization（巴斯德氏杀菌法），which uses heat to kill harmful germs in a variety of food products．Later，Pasteur took on industry-related cases such as a disease affecting the silk industry．Beginning in 1865，Pasteur spent three years investigating the bacteria that were the culprits and developing ways to prevent their spread．
In 1866Pasteur lost two daughters to typhoid（伤寒）fever．Two years later he became partially paralyzed（瘫痪）as a result of grief and stress．But despite these difficulties，Pasteur pressed on to even greater accomplishments．
In the late 1870s，Pasteur began research in the emerging scientific field of immunization and developed a vaccine（疫苗） for the deadly disease rabies．Following this success，the Pasteur Institute was founded to support Pasteur's work．Pasteur headed the institute until his death in 1895．Since then，the institute has continued to grow．Today，the institute's headquarters in Paris contain over 130laboratories along with extensive teaching facilities and the institute's own medical center．Over the years，the institute has also extended through the establishment of around thirty research centers in other countries．At each one，researchers help local authorities monitor public health and provide medical treatment．
Unlike many research organizations，the Pasteur Institute is not government funded．Instead it relies on financial gifts that it receives from institutions and ordinary people．This insures the institute's independence and enables it to respond quickly when health needs arise．

10．When a first-time father saw his newborn son，he immediately noticed the baby's ears obviously standing out from his head．He expressed his concern to the nurse that some children might tease his child．A doctor examined the baby and reassured the new dad that his son was healthy-the ears presented only a minor problem with its appearance．
But the nervous father persisted．He wondered if the child might suffer psychological effects of ridicule，or if they should consider plastic surgery（整形手术）．The nurse assured him that it was really no problem，and he should just wait to see if the boy grows into his ears．
The father finally felt more optimistic about his child，but now he worried about his wife's reaction to those large ears．She had been delivered by operation，and had not yet seen the child．

The baby was in a receiving blanket with his head covered for the short trip through the cold air-conditioned corridor．The baby was placed in his mother's arms，who eased the blanket back so that she could look at her child for the first time．
She took one look at her baby's face and looked to her husband and gasped，"Oh，Honey!Look!He has your ears!"
No problem with Mom．She married those ears…and she loves the man to whom they are attached．
