I was driving around downtown one afternoon in the winter. I   1  a red light and stopped. As I was   2 , I saw a young guy standing on my left. He was   3  in the face and holding a cardboard sign with some   4  on it. When you’re in the heart of downtown, it’s pretty   5  to see homeless people asking for   6 . Generally, I would pass them, but this time when I glanced over the sign, I   7 

I can’t remember what the sign said exactly, but it was something like: “  8  money / food, have stomach cancer, homeless, anything helps.”

I didn’t know why, but for some   9  this particular sign struck me. The   10  had just turned green, and there was a line of lunch rush hour traffic behind me. I went back and forth in my    11  a hundred times in that next   12  about whether I should do something. “Should I help?  13  on? Should I do something?”

I didn’t. I did nothing.

The traffic moved  14 , and I went with it. About a block(街区)or two away, my heart had sunk simply for this guy. I felt so   15  for him. So, I decided to go back and ask him  16  I could buy him lunch and hear his story.

It took me about five minutes to   17  and back on to the same street where I had seen him. It was just five minutes — but he was   18 .

“Where did he go so fast?” I wondered. So, there was   19  left to do except drive on. 

If you get a special nudge(想做的事)from inside you,   20  consider acting on it. Don’t miss out — for yourself and for that other person.

    Scientists believe that conditions on Mars around 3.8 billion years ago were very similar to those of the early earth, when primitive organisms were spreading through our oceans. At that time, Mars would have been much warmer and wetter than it is today, with an atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide, just like that of the earth at the time. Under these conditions, it is highly probable that life may have arisen on Mars as well.

    But, even if life did not arise naturally on Mars, it does not mean that it could not have existed there. According to Professor Paul Davies of the University of Adelaide, Australia, life forms could have been transferred between the earth and Mars in wreckage (broke pieces) created by the impact of comet(彗星) and small planets on the surface of the two planets.

    Even today, about 500 tons of material from Mars lands on earth every year. It is mainly in the form of the dust but occasionally a larger chunk(厚片,大块) strikes the earth. In 1911, a piece of Martian rock crashed in Egypt, killing a dog. According to Professor Davies, it is in these chunks of rock, which were much larger and more frequent in the past that life forms could have been transported from planet to planet.

    “But how could these life forms have survived their journey through space?” says Paul Davies, “The difficulty in believing this theory is that a bacterium on its own in space has to struggle itself not only against cold but also against deadly cosmic (宇宙的) radiation. But wrapped in a rock the situation is different. A rock ten meters across would shield life inside it from a lot of radiation and the temperature might only be minus 10 or 20 degrees, the sort of thing we have on earth.”

Two years ago ,Hannah Mighall ,then 13, survived a great white shark attack on Tasmania’s north-east coast, but despite the terrible scars ,the shy yet courageous teenager is determined to get back into the water.

It’s been a long journey back for the brave girl, whose life was changed forever as she was on her surfboard 60 metres offshore at Binalong, Bay ,Tasmania.

Her cousin ,32-yeaf-old syb Mundy ,was surfing nearby, “Suddenly, everything went quiet ,”Hannah ,now15,recalls of the day she almost lost her life, “I look down into the water and noticed a dark shadow under my board I knew instantly it was a shark.”

As Syb watched in horror, the five-metre shark put hundreds of sharp teeth onto Hannah’s right leg,throwing her from her board, “I was attached to my leg-rope as the shark stared to pull me under the water”,She shakes, “I was lying on my back with one leg under the shark’s body and the other still in its jaws.”

Syb desperately punched (猛击)the shark’s nose and reached out to grab Hannah as the monster bit a huge chunk(大块)from the surfboard, “I was still attached to my board and was dragged back under the water again,”she says ,When she came up for air, Hannah dog paddled(爬泳)to Syb’s board and he dragged her from the water to lie on his back ,”We looked down and saw the shark circling beneath us,”Hannah says.

Hannah was rushed to the hospital by helicopter ,She needed more than 400 stitches(针)on her leg and spent two weeks in hospital.

Modest about her remarkable courage, Hannah owes her survival to Syb’s bravery and the fact that great whites,despite their reputation as man-eaters, typically don’t target humans ,After the attack ,Hannah earned the Sea Shepherd award for courage for speaking in defence of the shark “I was in his territory, she wasn’t in mine,”she smiles.
