Three Central Texas men were honored with the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Director’s Award in a Tuesday morning ceremony for their heroism in saving the victims of a fiery two-car accident.

The accident occurred on March 25 when a vehicle lost control while traveling on a rain-soaked State Highway 6 near Baylor Camp Road.It ran into an oncoming vehicle, leaving the occupants trapped inside as both vehicles burst into flames.

Bonge was the first on the scene and heard children screaming.He broke through a back window and pulled Mallory Smith, 10, and her sister, Megan Smith, 9, from the wreckage.

The girls’ mother, Beckie Smith, was not with them at the time of the wreck, as they were traveling with their baby sitter, Lisa Bowbin.

Beckie Smith still remembers the sickening feeling she had upon receiving the call informing her of the wreck and the despair as she drove to the scene.

Bozeman and Clemmons arrived shortly after Bonge and helped rescue the other victims and attempted to put out the fires.

“I was nervous,” Bozeman said. “I don’t feel like I’m a hero. I was just doing what anyone should do in that situation.I hope someone would do the same for me.”

Everyone at the accident made it out alive, with the victims suffering from nonlife-threatening injuries.Mallory Smith broke both femurs, and Megan had neck and back injuries.Bowbin is still recovering from a broken pelvis, ankle and foot.

The rescuers also were taken to the hospital and treated for cuts and smoke breathing, Bonge said.

In addition, Bozeman got to meet accident victim Anthony Russo in the hospital after the accident, where Russo presented him with a glass frame inscribed with “Thank you,” Bozeman said.Those involved in that fateful encounter on Highway 6 credited God blessing for bringing them together.

“Whatever the circumstances, Tuesday’s ceremony provided a time to be grateful for those who put their lives on the line for the lives of complete strangers,” Beckie Smith said, “We’re calling it The Miracle on Highway 6.”

Clothes play a critical role in the conclusions we reach about who people are, who they are not, and who they would like to be.They tell us a good deal about the wearer’s background, personality, status, mood and social outlook.?

Since clothes are such an important source of social information, we can use them to influence people’s impression of us.Our appearance takes on particular significance in the initial phases of interaction.An elderly middle-class man or woman may be lonely by a young adult who is dressed in an unconventional manner, regardless of the person’s education, background, or interests.?

People tend to agree on what certain types of clothes mean.Adolescent girls easily form opinions on the lifestyles of girls who wear certain outfits (穿着), including the number of boyfriends they have had and whether they smoke or drink.Newscasters and announcers on TV, are considered to be more convincing, honest, and competent when they are dressed conservatively.College students who view themselves as taking an active role in their interpersonal relationships say the costumes they wear change the way they feel about themselves and how they acted. Perhaps you have used clothing to gain confidence when you face a stressful situation, such as a job interview, or a court appearance.?

In the workplace, men have long had well-defined role models for achieving success. It has been otherwise for women.A good many women in the business world are uncertain about the appropriate mixture of "masculine"(男性)and "feminine"(女性)characteristics they should show to men. Male administrators tend to judge women more favorably for managerial positions when the women display less "feminine" ways such as shorter hair, mild use of make-up, and plain tailored clothing.As one male administrator admitted, "An attractive woman is definitely going to get a longer interview, but she won’t get a job."?
