I shall never forget the night，a few years ago，when Marion J.Douglas was a student in one of my adult­education classes. He told us how tragedy had struck at his home，not once，but twice. The first time he had lost his five­year­old daughter. He and his wife thought they couldn’t bear that first loss；but，as he said，“Ten months later，God gave us another little girl and she died in five days.”
This double bereavement was almost too much to bear. “I couldn’t take it，” this father told us，“I couldn’t sleep，eat，rest or relax. My nerves were entirely shaken and my confidence gone. ”At last he went to doctors；one recommended sleeping pills and another recommended a trip，but neither helped. He said，“My body felt as if it was surrounded in a vice (大钳子)，and the jaws of the vice were being drawn tighter and tighter.” The tension of grief (悲伤)—if you have ever been paralyzed (使瘫痪) by sorrow，you know what he meant.
“But thank God，I had one child left—a four­year­old son. He gave me the solution to my problem. One afternoon as I sat around feeling sorry for myself，he asked，‘Daddy，will you build a boat for me？’ I was in no mood to build a boat；in fact，I was in no mood to do anything. But my son is a persistent little fellow！I had to give in. Building that toy boat took me about three hours. By the time it was finished，I realized that those three hours spent building that boat were first hours of mental relaxation and peace that I had had in months！I realized that it is difficult to worry while you are busy doing something that requires planning and thinking. In my case，building the boat had knocked worry out of the ring. So I determined to keep busy.”
“The following night，I made a list of jobs that ought to be done. Scores of items needed to be repaired. Amazingly，I had made a list of 242 items that needed attention. During the last two years I have completed  most of them. I am busy so that I have no time for worry.”
No time for worry！That is exactly what Winston Church ill said when he was working eighteen hours a day at the height of the war. When he was asked if he worried about his huge responsibilities，he said，“I am too busy. I have no time for worry.”

Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her 3-year-old son, Michael, prepare for a new sister. And day after day, night after night, Michael sang to his sister in Mommy’s tummy(肚子).
Everything was normal for Karen. But she had difficulty giving birth to the baby. Finally, Michael’s little sister was born. But she was in serious condition and was sent to hospital at once. The days went by. The little girl got worse. The doctor told the parents, “There is very little hope. Be prepared for the worst.”
Karen and her husband had fixed up a special room in their home for the new baby—now they planned a funeral. Michael, kept begging his parents to let him see his sister, “I want to sing to her,” he said.
Karen knew if he didn’t see his sister now, he would never see her alive. She led Michael to his sister’s bedside. In the pure-hearted voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sang: “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine; you make me happy when skies are gray…”
Immediately the baby girl responded. Her breath became calm. “Keep on singing, Michael!” ‘You never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don’t take my sunshine away…” Tears ran down Karen’s face.
Funeral plans were cancelled(取消). The next day, the little girl was well enough to go home! The doctors just called it a miracle(奇迹). Karen called it a miracle of God’s love!

As darkness fell, hundreds of people in the Swiss village left their houses. They were staring      36  at the mountain top in the distance. It was covered with  37 , beautiful and dangerous.
The huge mountain is called Matterhorn. Mountain climbers had   38  the top, using the southern route. But no one had ever dared to try a winter climbing up the   39  side. But now one man was daring to try the   40  route. He was Walter Bonatti, a great mountain climber from Italy.
For two days he had climbed. The village people had watched him   41 . Now they were waiting to see his   42 . If he planned to   43  the next day, he would light a green signal. A red light would mean that he was   44 .
A tiny green light   45 high on the mountain side. Bonatti was not giving up! The people      46 .
The next day he   47  his way upward. He was so lonely and so tired! But he would not give up. Again that night he lit the   48 light.

The trip down the southern  54 was easy. He was warmly welcomed in the village. He had done the "  55 ", and would be well remembered as a climber of all time.

There are many rights to make sure that people will be treated fairly when they are suspected or accused of a crime. Sometimes these rights are called "due process of law". In using these rights, a person should have the help of a lawyer.
You have a right to protect against unreasonable searches and seizures. The police generally may not search you or your home, or take things you own, without a "warrant". A warrant is a paper which states, very exactly , the place to be searched and the things to be taken. Sometimes, however, the police will not need a warrant to search you or your property. If an officer sees you committing a crime, or if he has a good reason to believe you have committed a serious crime, he may arrest you and search you and the area right around you without a warrant.
If you invite a police without a warrant to come into your house and he finds proof of crime, the evidence may be used against you in court. If you do not want an officer to search you or your home and he does not have a warrant, tell him that you do not give him the right to search. However, if the officer will not listen, do not try to stop him. It is dangerous to resist and it may be illegal to do so. Any evidence which a policeman gets during an unlawful search and seizure cannot be used against you.
Police officers must act reasonably and fairly at all times. They should use physical force only when it is needed to arrest someone to enforce a law. They may not use physical violence to "teach someone a lesson".
