You see, Philip suffered from a condition called Downss Syn to each child. On that beautiful spring day, the children were to go out and discover for themselves some symbol of “new life” and place it inside the plastic eggs. After the children returned to the classroom, the teacher opened their eggs one by one, asking each child to explain that symbol of “new life”. The first opened egg contained a flower. Everyone cheered. In another was a butterfly. When the teacher opened the last egg, it was empty. “Thats stupid,” said someone. The teacher felt a pull at his shirt. It was Philip. Looking up, Philip said, “Its mine. I did it. Its empty. I have new life, because the tomb is empty.” Not a sound was heard in class at all. From that day on, Philip became a real part of the group.

Four seconds later, the earthquake hit.“In a split second, I considered whether to run for the door or hide under my desk，” says Kristensen, 48. “The door was closed, and I thought that maybe it was too far and I would be caught under falling debris, so I hid under the table.” A bookshelf topped onto his desk, protecting him from being crushed by rubble and trapping him in a tiny pocket. “I was confined as if in a small coffin，” he says. It was so dark, and it didnt matter if his eyes were open or closed. He used the light from his mobile phone to see around him. He found, among other items, a jar of instant coffee. “I had no food or water, only the coffee to suck on if I needed it.”At about 6：30 am. on January 17, an oil leak silenced the buildings generators, and Kristensen was able to hear muffled voices above where he was buried. “I thought, I was too tired to bang and shout. But then I realized, I had to take every chance. This could be one.” So he called out. Six hours later, Kristensen saw his rescuers faces. “It was so amazing. I felt I had received a second birthday，” he recalls.Dehydration and pains but with only a bruise and a scratch, Kristensen took three days to recover. The UN lost more than 90 people in Haiti.

They supported his early interest in electronics.He and his friend Steve Wozniak started Apple puter - now just called Apple - in nineteen seventy-six. They stayed at the pany until nineteen eighty-five. That year, Steve Wozniak returned to college and Steve Jobs left in a dispute with the chief executive.Mr. Jobs then formed his own pany, called NeXT puter. He rejoined Apple in nineteen ninety-seven after it bought NeXT. He helped remake Apple from a business that was in bad shape then to one of the most valuable panies in the world today.Steve Wozniak, speaking on CNN, remembered his longtime friend as a great visionary and leader and a marketing genius.President Obama said in a statement: By building one of the planets most successful panies from his garage, he exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity.

A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth (收费站). “Im paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friends refrigerator: “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why shed taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didnt know where it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.“Heres the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.”The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!56. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?A. She had seven tickets. B.

Sent by Antoni van Leeuwenhoek，a draper from Delft in the Netherlands，it contained an unlikely sounding claim. Using a microscope of his own invention，van Leeuwenhoek had seen tiny creatures，invisible to the naked eye，living in lake water. Some of these “animalcules (微生物) ” were so small，he later estimated that 30 million of them would still be smaller than a grain of sand.Royal Society fellows couldnt believe it. Even with his most powerful instruments，the celebrated English microscopist Robert Hooke had never observed anything like the little creatures.In fact，the Dutchman had developed far superior lenses to Hookes，and had discovered bacteria and protozoans (原生动物)By producing even smaller and more curved lensesusing a technique that he kept secretvan Leeuwenhoek was able to magnify objects up to 500 times. As well as discovering microorganisms，he was the first to see red blood cells.In 1677，van Leeuwenhoek sent the Society further animalcule （微生物）observations. Hooke eventually improved his own microscopes to the point where he，too，could see the tiny creatures. Three years later van Leeuwenhoek was made a fellow.It was not until 1890，more than 160 years after van Leeuwenhoeks death，that bacteria were linked with diseases. “Reading van Leeuwenhoeks letters，you very much get the impression of somebody dazzled by what he was finding，”says Lesley Robertson，leader of the archives at Delft Universitys school of microbiology.“ He thought hed found a who
