In 1999, 11-year-old Kevin Stephan was a bat boy for his younger brother's Little League team in Lancaster, New York. It was an early evening in late July. The sun shone at an angle across the field. The game unfolding in baseball time. Kevin was standing on the grass away from the plate, where another youngster was warming up. Swinging his bat back and forth, giving it all the power an elementary school kid could gather. The boy brought the bat back hard and hit Kevin square in the chest.
His heart stopped.
When Kevin fell to the ground, the mother of one of the players rushed out of the stands to his aid. Penny Brown hadn't planned to be there that day, but at the last minute, her shift at the hospital had been changed, and she was given the night off. Penny bent over the unconscious boy, his face already starting to turn blue, and administered CPR, breathing into his mouth and administering chest press.
And he came back.
It was a good thing, for a good kid. Kevin wasn't just a volunteer for his brother's baseball team --- he was a Boy Scout, one who went on to achieve Scouting's highest rank, Eagle. He became a volunteer junior firefighter, learning some of the emergency first-aid techniques that had saved his life. He studied hard in school and was saving money for college by working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant. He liked the people, but the work could be hard and pretty routine. Until the afternoon of January 27, 2006.
Kevin, now 17, was working in the kitchen when he heard people screaming, customers in confusion, employees rushing toward a table. He hustled into the main room and saw a woman there, her face turning blue, her hands at her throat. She was choking. Quickly Kevin stepped behind her, wrapped his arms around her and clasped his hands. Then, using skills he'd first learned in Scouts, he pulled suddenly inward and up, once, twice, administering the Heimlich maneuver. The food that was trapped in the woman's throat was freed. The color began to return to her face.
"The food was stuck. I couldn't breathe," she said. She thought she was dying. "I was very frightened.”
Guess who the woman was ? Penny Brown

| Several pieces of advice I've gotten in my life have really made a difference. "Be 1 to people." This sounds quite common, but I'll never 2 my father telling me that. I was ten, and I had been rude to someone. He said, "There is no 3 in being rude to anyone at any time. You never know who you're going to meet later in life. 4 , you don't change anything by being rude. 5 you don't get anywhere." " 6 that you can do anything you want to do. Don't let anyone say, 'You're not 7 enough…it's too hard…it's a bad 8 …no one has done that before…girls don't do that. My mom gave me that advice in 1973. And it 9 me to never worry about what others were saying about my 10 direction. "Always do the 11 job you can do at whatever you're assigned, even if you think it's 12 ." Jerry Parkinson, an assistant advertising manager and my boss at P&G, told me this in 1979. Here I had just 13 from Harvard Business School(HBS), and I was assigned to determine 14 the hole in the Ivory shampoo bottle should be: 3/8 of an inch or 1/8 of an inch．I did research, focus groups …and I would come home at night 15 how I had gone from HBS to this. But later I realized that any job you're given is a(n) 16 to prove yourself. "Don't be a credit hog(吝惜赞扬的人). If you're 17 in the neighborhood of good things, good things will 18 to you." Tom Tierney, who was my boss at Bain in 1981 and is now on the eBay board, told me this. It's 19 ? You get ahead by crediting other people. Finally, in 1998, I was in New York 20 the big celebration as eBay went public(上市). My husband is a doctor. I called into his operating room and told him the great news.

Do you know how to prepare for and survive a major earthquake? According to Department of Conservation scientists, it is important to have the right answer to that question.
How to Be Prepared
Electricity, water, gas and telephones may not be working after an earthquake. The police and fire departments are likely to be tied up. You should be prepared to fend for yourself at least three days,preferably for a week. You’ll need food, water and so on. It’s also a good idea to decide ahead of time how and where your family will reunite if separated during a quake. You might choose an out-of-the-area friend or relative that family members can call to check on you.
________
If you’re indoors, stay there. Get under a desk or table. The kitchen is a particularly dangerous spot. If you’re in an office building, stay away from windows and outside walls and do not use the elevator. If you’re outside, get into the open. Stay clear of buildings, power lines or anything else that could fall on you. If you’re driving, move the car out of traffic and stop. Avoid parking under or on bridges or overpasses.
After an Earthquake
Check for fire. If you smell gas, shut off the main gas valve(阀). If there’s sign of damage to electricial wiring, shut off the power at the control box. If the phone is working, only use it in case of emergency(紧急情况). Avoid driving if possible to keep the streets clear for emergency vehicles. Be careful that things may fall out of cupboards when the door is opened, and also that chimneys can be weakened and fall with just a touch. Listen to the radio for important information and instructions. Remember that aftershocks, sometimes large enough to cause damage in their own right, generally follow large quakes. If you leave home, leave a message telling your friends and family your location.
