Four girls went to school together every day by taxi．
One day one of the girls said,“There is a test this morning．Let's get to school late．Then we can miss the test．”
“What can we say to the teacher?” one of the girls said．“He'll be angry．We'll need a good reason．” The girls thought for several minutes,then one of them said,“Let's tell him that our taxi had a flat tyre．”
“That's a good idea,” other girls said．“We'll tell him that．” They reached school an hour later．The test was already finished．
“Why are you late?” the teacher asked．“You missed the test．”
“Our taxi had a flat tyre,” one of the girls said．
The teacher thought for a moment,then he said,“Sit down,one of you in each corner of the room．” The four girls did that．

On the morning of 4th July,1952,the sea was as cold as ice．When Florence looked forward,she saw nothing but thick fog(雾)．She was very tired．She had been swimming for 16 hours．Her goal was to become the first woman to swim from Catalina Island to the California coast．
Her mother and trainer encouraged her．They told her it wasn't much farther．But all she could see was fog．They asked her not to stop．She tried hard,but at last she gave up only half a mile away from the coast．
Later,she told a reporter,“Look,I'm not excusing myself,but if I had seen land,I might have made it．” It was not her tiredness or even the cold water that defeated her．It was the fog．She couldn't see her goal．
