But then they realized just what it was."KIDS ON THE TRACK!"Jack MurphyMonday, May 1, 1989 was a pleasant morning in Ramsey, N.J. Kate Pritchard bent over her car trunk and struggled with the bags of groceries she'd just brought home. She heard the distant cry of a locomotive horn. The trains of Conrail passed less than 300 feet from the Pritchards' house. No fence separated their backyard from the track — only a thick row of trees. But, her sons, 3(1/2)-year-old Todd and 18-month-old Scott, were nearby, playing on the driveway."Stay right there," Kate said, "while Mommy puts the groceries away. Then we'll go inside and have lunch, okay?""Okay!" said Todd, giving a thumbs-up gesture he'd seen his father make."Okay!" echoed Scott, trying to copy his older brother.They watched their mother enter the house with several bags.Kate shut the refrigerator and hurried outside. Good. The boys were playing right where she'd left them.As she lifted more bags from the trunk, Kate heard a train race past — a passenger express, she judged from its speed. She carried more bags into the house.The sounds of the train apparently drew the boys' attention to the track. After making their way through the trees, they climbed to the top of the steep roadbed, knelt down along the railroad and began to play.A few thousand feet west, a freight train rolled slowly toward the children. Overhead lights signaled to engineer Rich Campana that the passenger train ahead was out of the way, and they could resume their normal speed of 40 miles per hour. The engineer adjusted the accelerator, then turned to conductor Anthony Falzo,a man, medium in height and strongly built, who had worked for Conrail for almost half of his 35 years."So what'd you do over the weekend, Anthony?""Oh, not much. Mostly messing around — a little TV, then bed. What else?"Campana smiled. "Hey, you'd better cool down, Anthony —you're getting to be a real party animal!"The two men laughed. They were still laughing as the train began gathering speed, moving at 21 miles per hour.Rich and Anthony spotted something ahead at the same instant."What's that up there?" asked the engineer. Anthony didn't answer. Staring intently, he was trying to identify the curious shape on the track ahead. A box? Old rags?Suddenly both men realized what it was. Rich threw on the emergency brake and pulled on the air-horn handle with all his strength.The horn's blast and Anthony's words exploded at the same time: "Kids on the Track!"Anthony sprang through the cab door onto a narrow running board six feet above the wheels and raced to the front of the swaying train. Climbing quickly down a steel ladder, he paused at the bottom, two feet above the roadbed flashing by.Now he could clearly see the two little children. They were sitting alongside the rail. Anthony waved wildly and shouted, "Get away! Get away!"He mentally calculated the train's deceleration rate and groaned. We'll never stop in time.Absorbed in play, Todd and Scott did not hear the train. Finally, as the sound became thunderous, Scott looked up andfroze.Though the train was slowing, Anthony knew it was still going faster than he could run. So he forced himself to wait until he would be close enough to leap off and grab the boys. With perhaps ten feet left between them and the sharp-edged snowplow blade at the front of the train, Anthony sprang forward from the ladder. Landing on the loose, fist-size stones alongside the track, he had to struggle to keep his balance. In two giant steps he almost reached the children. They stared up at him in wide-eyed shock. Anthony, throwing his body into space, flew toward them.The unending blast of the train horn struck Kate Pritchard like a hammer blow. "The boys! " she cried, and raced out the door. They were gone!The track, she thought. I must get to the track!As his body crashed downward, Anthony covered Todd while reaching out with one arm to grab Scott and pull him clear of the track. But the train had caught up to them. Anthony saw the black steel edge of the snowplow blade hit the young child under the chin, driving his head back and scraping over his face. Instantly, blood flashed across the boy's forehead.Part of the train then punched into the back of Anthony's work jacket, tearing the nylon fabric. Still, Anthony managed to pull Scott completely under him.He's dead, Anthony thought. He felt sick with horror. Burying his face in the stones, he pushed downward on the two boys with all his strength as the train passed inches above them.The first person Kate saw when she reached the halted train was Todd. Her older boy was jumping up and down and crying uncontrollably. But Kate could see he wasn't injured. She grabbedand hugged him. Then she saw the still figure of a man lying under the third car. Scott's head, a mask of darkening blood, was visible under him. Kate ran to them. "Scott!" she screamed.Anthony twisted to face her. "Lady," he said, his voice calm, "go to your house. Call the police and ambulance." Kate, only half hearing him, extended her arms to take her baby. Anthony spoke again, more sharply, "Ma'am, listen! Go to your house and call the police — call an ambulance. Go!"Kate tore back to the house, made the calls, then reached her husband, Gary, via his beeper.When the first police car arrived, Anthony was still holding little Scott. The conductor knew from the child's cries that he was alive, but Scott might have internal injuries that any movement could worsen. So Anthony insisted the emergency personnel check the boy before he would release his grip. Miraculously, Scott's injuries were not serious, requiring just 13 stitches.There had only been 14 inches between the plow blade and the ground. Reporters later asked Anthony if he had hesitated before risking his life."No," he replied. "All I could think was that those two little kids have their whole lives still ahead of them, and if I do nothing, they're dead. There was no way I could let that happen."Soon after the incident, Anthony visited the Pritchards' home. He recalls putting his arms around Todd and Scott and lifting them. "It made me remember the moment when I first sheltered them under the train. It was a strange feeling, holding them again — and wonderful too."Since that first visit, the Pritchards say that Anthony has almost become a member of the family. They also report that a fence now separates their neighborhood from the railroad track.New Words and Expressionstrunkn. 汽车后部的行李箱struggle withhave difficulty handling or coping with 费力地对付groceryn.

The Christmas season
For Christians , the Christmas season lasts from Christmas Eve till after New Year’s Day or , especially in England, Epiphany (on the 6th of January). Commercially, the period is much longer. Stores usually begin to decorate their departments and to promote a sales campaign for Christmas in late November. Special attention is paid to the shop windows designed to attract Christmas shoppers.
decline dramatically when they retire.
Psychologically: Old people in Western countries are generally considered useless, a burden on their families and on the public purse. They are hardly held in respect. On the other hand, most of them, so used to focusing on work, simply do not know how to relax or pursue another interest now that they have time to do so. They feel they “should” be working and contributing , because work was where they were respected and their skills recognized. As retired people, their self-confidence is diminished. The

大学思辨英语教材精读1unit7Unit 7: The Power of Social MediaIntroduction:Social media platforms have become an integral part of our lives, connecting people from all corners of the world. This unit delves into the power and impact of social media, exploring its benefits and drawbacks. Through this unit, we will develop a deeper understanding of the influence social media holds in our society today.The Evolution of Social Media:Social media has evolved significantly over the years, transforming the way we interact and share information. From the early days of Friendster and MySpace to the dominance of Facebook and Twitter, social media has undeniably shaped our digital landscape. With the advent of smartphones, social media platforms are now accessible to billions worldwide, paving the way for their immense popularity.The Power of Social Media:1. Global Connectivity:One of the primary advantages of social media is its ability to connect people globally. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter enable individuals to share their thoughts, experiences, and cultural aspects, breaking down geographical barriers. This interconnectedness fosters cultural exchange and promotes understanding among diverse communities.2. Amplification of Voices:In the era of social media, everyone has the opportunity to have their voices heard. Previously, traditional media held the sole power to disseminate information. However, social media allows ordinary individuals to share their opinions and raise awareness about various issues. It has given a voice to marginalized communities, shining a light on social injustices.3. Marketing and Branding:Social media has revolutionized the way businesses advertise and build their brands. Platforms like Instagram and YouTube serve as powerful marketing tools, enabling companies to reach a broader audience and engage directly with potential customers. Influencer marketing has emerged as a popular trend, as brands collaborate with social media personalities to endorse their products or services.4. Real-Time Information:Social media networks provide instant access to breaking news and real-time updates. During times of crisis or emergencies, platforms like Twitter serve as essential sources of information. Social media has also played a pivotal role in organizing social movements and protests, allowing individuals to mobilize and unite for a common cause.Drawbacks of Social Media:1. Privacy Concerns:With the influx of personal information shared on social media platforms, there are heightened concerns regarding privacy. Despite stringent privacy settings, instances of data breaches and unauthorized access persist, raising questions about the security of our personal information.2. Cyberbullying and Harassment:The anonymity provided by social media has allowed for the rise of cyberbullying and online harassment. Individuals can hide behind screens and target others, causing significant emotional distress. Social media platforms are continuously battling this issue by implementing measures to prevent and address cyberbullying incidents.3. Spread of Misinformation:The rapid dissemination of information on social media can lead to the spread of misinformation and fake news. With the absence of fact-checking and editorial control, false narratives and conspiracy theories can easily circulate, fueling confusion and mistrust.4. Addiction and Mental Health Issues:Excessive use of social media has been linked to addiction and various mental health problems, including anxiety and depression. The constant need for social validation, comparison, and the fear of missing out (FOMO) can negatively impact one's well-being.Conclusion:Social media has become an indispensable part of our daily lives, reshaping how we connect, communicate, and consume information. While it offers numerous advantages such as global connectivity and amplification of voices, we must also acknowledge its drawbacks, including privacy concerns and the spread of misinformation. As users of social media, it is crucial to exercise caution and critical thinking to fully harness its potential while mitigating its negative impact.。
