What a great Paralympic Games this has been. An outstanding Opening Ceremony, splendid athletic performances in perfect stadiums, the best-ever Paralympic Villages, amazing high definition (高清晰度) television coverage, a never ending and self-generating (自生的) supply of passion and emotion, superb organization, wonderful volunteers, millions of new Paralympic sports lovers both here in China and around the world. These are the greatest Paralympic Games ever.

―Philip Craven, president of the International Paralympic Committee

It was another spectacular show. Perhaps it’s not quite as sublimely（高尚地） beautiful as the opening, but a fitting end to what has been a memorable 12 days in the Chinese capital.

The Paralympics were inspiring. Not only the Paralympians themselves, but also the warmth of people in Beijing and the sense of self-respect among the disabled in China that these Games seem to have inspired, as well as a new attitude in general from the government and form Chinese society as a whole.

― Jeff Z. Klein, New York Times

It doesn’t get any better for disabled persons living in Beijing than September 2008, with increased access for them in public areas.

But there are still problems. Some taxi drivers are not willing to pick up wheelchair users. Some companies deliberately break employment laws that ask them to employ a percentage of disabled persons. Many schools haven’t opened their door to disabled students.

During the past Paralympics, Chinese society has witnessed firsthand the abilities of disabled persons in sporting. And the next step will be for the abilities of disabled people on the Paralympics to be translated into a realization of their abilities to study, work and go about daily life in a barrier-free society.

― Eric Roeder, China Daily

“Wanted by the FBI．”To the murderer，or the bank robber，these are the most frightening words in the world．When the criminal hears them，he knows that six thousand trained persons are after him．

    Why should he be so afraid? There are thousands of cities and villages where he can hide，and forests and deserts，as well．Besides，he’s usually rich with stolen money．

    Money can make it easier to hide．With money，the criminal can even pay a doctor to operate on his face and make him hard to recognize．But the criminals know that as public enemies，they can be found by the FBI no matter where they hide．

    They know every trick the criminal knows and many more．If he makes just one mistake，they’ll get him．That’s why the man who is wanted can’t sleep．That’s why he becomes nervous，why he jumps at every sound．

    The FBI began on May 10th，1924．General Harlan Stone chose Edgar Hoover，a young lawyer，to head the new agency．“What we need is a wholly new kind of police force，”he said．“Criminals today are smart．They use stolen cars and even planes to make their gateways．They have learned to open any lock，using advanced technology．We can’t beat them with old methods．We have to train officers to work scientifically．”

    Edgar Hoover quietly went ahead with his plans．He picked his men carefully．They had to be between the ages of twenty--five and thirty five．He wanted only men with good manners and good character．When working as his officers，they would have to meet all kinds of people．Hoover wanted men who could handle a teacup as well as a gun．But the FBI cannot help in every police problem．It can look into only certain crimes against the government．Solving all other crimes is the duty of local police forces．

An Australian 3-year-old boy was described as a hero after saving his mum from an almost certain death by calling emergency services right after she collapsed because of an epileptic attack (癫痫发作).

Aiden McDonald amazed the doctors who arrived at Jeanine McDonald’s house 10 minutes after Aiden called 000. The boy was very calm and spoke to the doctors as his mother got into an unconscious state.

Sacha Lewis took the strange call and sent out an ambulance immediately. Aiden answered questions during the 19-minute call that made it clear it was a serious matter.

Lewis said, “He sounded worried and was telling me things like ‘Mummy is not awake’, so I got an idea that it was a fairly serious matter.”

This is part of the “conversation” they had:

 “Can I talk to Mummy please?”

 “Mummy’s not well.”

 “How old are you, sweetheart?”

 “I got a duck.”

 “Can I talk to Mummy?”

 “I can’t get my Mummy.”

 “Where is she?”

 “On the floor. Mummy’s had a faint(昏厥)”

 “Do you live in Kallangur?”

 “We’ve got milk in the fridge and, urn, (pause) I can’t find the ambulance (crying,) Mummy, Mum…Mum…Mum…”

Mrs. McDonald, who was making a cup of tea when she collapsed, was taken to hospital and allowed to leave the same night. “After hearing what he did I thought, no, that can’t be right,” Jeanne McDonald said. “But I’m so proud.”
