"She got me outside and then she heard the cat upstairs and went up there to get the cat out but she
wouldn"t come back to me," Hanson, 49, said at a news conference at Aurora Sheboygan Memorial
Medical Center where she was being treated for her injuries.
"She received third-degree burns on an arm in the fire at her home," the Sheboygan County Sheriff"s
Department said, adding that both pets died in the fire.
Hanson, who lost a leg in a car accident three years ago, said she was on the couch watching television when the cat ran over the back of the couch.
"And he jumped onto a table that had a candle on it and tipped it over and finally set the artificial plants on fire," she said.
Hanson said she fell off the couch and was unable to get her artificial leg from the table. "So my dog got my leg for me and went to get the phone and brought it to me, so I could call 911."
She said she tried to put the prosthetic leg on, but it was too hot, and the dog, a German shepherd,
came to her aid again before going back inside for the cat.

the door of every station-and got 6 every time.
In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldn"t risk 7 inexperienced people. "Go out in
the sticks and find a small station that"ll give you a 8 ," she said.
I hitchhiked home to Dixon, Illinois. While there was no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and 9 a local athlete to manage its sports department. Since

| It was a normal Saturday morning, and everyone was in a good mood. The year was 2000 and I was then only 6 years old. I remember it like it was yesterday though. We were just eating breakfast when we received a phone call. We received phone calls all the time, so it was nothing new to me. However, this phone call was an important one. I soon heard and saw my mother crying on the couch(沙发)with my father comforting her. My brother, sister, and I didn"t know what had happened, as they had not told us yet. Later, I was told that my grandfather was in the hospital because he had a heart attack. I did not know what to think. I had never heard of a heart attack, but I figured (认为) that it must be serious if he was in the hospital. My grandfather and grandmother lived far away from us and we did not get to see them often. It was a long trip. My mother rushed to the hospital while my father stayed at home with my brother, sister and me. I do not think my young sister was really understanding it all yet. My mother returned a little later with bad news. My grandfather had died before she got there. I was speechless. I had loved my grandfather greatly. He was the one who taught me how to fish and enjoy the outdoors. | |||

| If I left the decisions up to my daughter, she"d never play competitive sports. In her first season of forced sports, when she was four years old, she cried every time she kicked the soccer ball. She stopped on the way from the parking lot to the soccer field, wailing that her legs hurt. And worse, she cried, "I"m sweating!" A few years have passed, and she just completed her fourth soccer season. She"s starting her second year of softball. Sports trophies (奖杯) line her window platform. I learned from the years of football, soccer and baseball in my son"s youth that kids need to experience being on a team, and they might not beg you to sign them up. You might have to force it on them. They need to learn about sacrificing, and about commitment. If you read parenting articles out there, you"ll find plenty of folks who shy away from competitive sports because they want their kid to always feel like a winner. I don"t know what kind of idyllic (田园的) life these parents must be leading, but in my world, I"m thinking I need to sign my kids up for something that will teach them about life"s devastating disappointments. Hence, I think my daughter picked up some good life lessons when her team lost almost every game in the last season. Sometimes life is like that. Sometimes you get a bad call, the people on your team suck, you"re tired and don"t feel like playing, the coach is mean to you, someone scratches your face and steals the ball. And the next week, you put on your uniform, and try your best. | |||

| A. He supports children in taking part in competitive sports. B. He doesn"t like competitive sports himself. C. He doubts whether competitive sports can really benefit children. D. He believes competitive sports are not suitable for young children. | |||
| 2. What do we know about the author"s daughter? | |||
| A. She hates the author signing her up for competitive sports. B. She hasn"t realized the importance of competitive sports. C. She wants to give up competitive sports. D. She now likes competitive sports. | |||
| 3. What should we do if a child doesn"t like competitive sports, according to the author? | |||
| A. Get him interested in sports first. B. Sign him up for competitive sports. C. Leave him alone. D. Give him some trophies first. | |||
| 4. In what way is life similar to sports? | |||
| A. They both mean a lot to children. B. They both need great courage. C. They are both full of hard times. D. They both can teach children good lessons. | |||

| Introductory Chemistry was taught at Duke University for many years by professor Bonk. One year, two guys took the class and did pretty well on all the quizzes and mid-terms. They each had a solid A. These two friends were so confident in going into the final that the weekend before finals week, despite the Chemistry final being on Monday, they decided to go to the University of Virginia to party with some friends. They had a great time there. However, with their hangovers (宿醉) and tiredness, they overslept all day Sunday and didn"t make it back to Duke until early Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then, they found professor Bonk after the final and explained to him how they missed the final. They told him they went up to the University of Virginia for the weekend and had planned to come back in time to study, but they had a flat tire on the way back and didn"t have a spare. So they were late getting back to campus. Bonk thought this over and agreed that they could take the final the following day. The two guys, happily and relieved, studied that night and went in the next day at the time that Bonk had told them. He placed them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test booklet. He told them to begin. They looked at the first problem which was something simple about solution (溶解). It was worth 5 points. "Cool," they thought, "this is going to be an easy final".
