Geoffrey Payne talks for the 1st time about the night his wife was killed. The judge thought it was he who killed his wife. Now he wrote to a magazine from the prison（监狱） about what happened on the night of 13 October 1999.
I had to stay late at the hospital that night to do an operation. I finally left at about 11pm. I drove home slowly because the weather was terrible—the wind was blowing and it was raining heavily. I was running into our road when a man suddenly ran in front of my car. I almost hit him but I stopped just in time. I was frightened and the man looked frightened, too. I got out of the car but he ran away before I could ask if he was all right. It was very strange.
When I got home, the lights were on but it was very quiet. I called to my wife but there was no answer. Then I remembered that she was out at a concert.
I was still very upset about what happened on the road, so I made myself a drink. Then I went upstairs to have a bath. I saw that the window in the bedroom was open. This was strange because my wife always locked the doors and windows before she went out. She was afraid of burglars. When I went to close it, I found Ellen. She was lying on the floor. There was blood everywhere. I rushed over for her pulse but she was dead. I sat on the floor beside her body and was too frightened to do anything.
The next thing I knew was that the sky was getting light. I can’t remember a thing about that night. In the morning I phoned the police. They arrived half an hour after I phoned them. But it seemed like hours. During that time I tried hard to remember anything I could about the night before. I couldn’t stop thinking about the man in the road.

Teeth are important. Strong, healthy teeth help you chew foods that help you grow. They help you speak clearly. And, they help you look your best. Here is some advice for you to take care of your teeth.
1. Brush your teeth the right way.
Brush your teeth at least twice a day—after breakfast and before bedtime. If you can, brush after lunch, too.
Brush all of your teeth, not just the front ones. Spend time brushing teeth along the sides, and back of your mouth. Brush away from you gums (牙龈), too.
Spend at least three minutes each time you brush. Play a song you like to help pass the time. Get a new toothbrush every 3 months. When you buy your toothbrush, be sure it is a good one.
2. Learn how floss(用牙线清洁) your teeth.
Flossing is a very important way to keep your teeth healthy. Food may hide in places where a toothbrush cannot get to, like the space between two teeth. Flossing can help get it out. Carefully move the floss between two teeth, up and down. You’ll need to floss you teeth at least once a day.
3. Have good eating habits.

A 10-year-old British girl saved 100 other tourists from the Asian tsunami because she had warned them a huge body of water was on its way after learning something about these weeks earlier at school.
“I was on the beach and the water started to go funny,” Tilly Smith told the Sun.
“There were bubbles（水泡）and the huge waters went out suddenly. I realized at once what was happening and had a feeling that there was going to be a tsunami. I soon told mummy about this.”
While other holidaymakers stood and watched when the disappearing waters left boats and fish on the sands. Tilly seemed to know the danger signs at once because she had just learned a school lesson on huge waves caused by the moving and shaking of the underwater earth.
Quick action by Tilly’s mother and workers of the Thai(泰国的) hotel meant Maikhao beach was quickly cleared, just minutes before a huge wave fully swept（风浪等的席卷）the beach. The beach was one of the few on the Thai island of Phuket where no one was killed.
Her teacher, Andrew Kearney, was proud of his quick-thinking student. “Tilly is a very bright, clear-headed girl. It happened that our class was learning about tsunami just two weeks before Christmas,” he told the newspaper.
