　When many people are worried that there are no more heroes in the modern era，two university students who lost their lives to rescue drowning children have shown that heroes still exist．

　According to the Inner Mongolia Morning Post，the tragedy(悲剧) occurred on the afternoon of December 14,2002 when three school students skating on a frozen lake in Qingcheng Park in Hohhot fell through the ice into the freezing water．

　More than 20 university students who happened to be near the spot immediately went to the rescue of the children．Two children were quickly rescued，but the third died．The child's body was not found for three hours．Two of the rescuers，Liu Ye and Hao Longbiao，also died of cold and exhaustion．The body of Hao who took the lead in jumping into the lake was not found until the next day．

　A student who was unwilling to tell his name said he and his classmates from the local college were taking photos at the lake．When they heard the children's cries for help，they went to the ice hole hand in hand to rescue the children．But the ice kept breaking，causing most of them to fall into the icy water．

Local residents held mourning ceremonies(祭奠仪式)at the lake．

Eight of the students were seriously affected by the freezing water and were being kept in hospital for further observation，but their lives were no longer in danger．

Dear Mr. Thunders,

We would like to introduce ourselves. Our company was organized only two years ago, but we are one of the largest boat companies in California. As you know, your son bought a boat from us recently, and I think you know how pleased he is with our product. Also, John Webb, one of your son's friends, has bought a boat from us and, we understand, is very happy with his boat. We are always happy to know that our customers are satisfied. We are writing to you now because, as you know, your son has decided to buy a larger boat, and we need your signature on　 the loan(贷款) papers. The loan application has already been signed by Danny. As you will see, there is one form to fill out, and there are three contracts to sign. Danny's 26-foot boat was returned to our San Pedro Dock yesterday, and we are pleased to say that the new 36-foot "Challenger" will be delivered(送达) two weeks from today. It is being inspected by our manager right now. The auto-pilot(自动领航仪) has already been installed by our mechanic. It looks as though everything will be ready in time for delivery. All we need are the signed contracts from you.

Thank you.

Sincerely yours,

Tony Valention
