week. A small hole drilled into the earth became a passage to freedom for thirty-three trapped miners. They
spent sixty-nine days underground. "Never have people been trapped for so long so deeply," says a doctor at
NASA, the American space agency, which helped in the rescue.
But the chief medical officer for the miners said most are in good enough health to leave the hospital within
a day or so. The first three were released from the hospital Thursday night.
For much of the day the miners relaxed with Chilean President Sebastian Pinera. The thirty-two Chileans
and one Bolivian still wore special sunglasses to protect their eyes.
A partial mine collapse (坍塌) on 5th of August trapped them more than half a kilometer underground.
They had to stretch a two-day food supply. For two weeks no one knew if they were alive or dead.
Later, they received supplies (供给) and a video link lowered through drill holes. That link was how Ariel
Ticona watched his wife give birth to their daughter.
The miners have apparently agreed to share the money they earn from selling their story.
They have already received gifts of money and travel offers. Edison Pena has been invited to the New York
City Marathon and to Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley in Memphis, Tennessee. Mr.Pena described how
he ran in the mine tunnels to ease the stress. And he led the miners in singing Elvis songs.
The first miner rescued on Wednesday was Florencio Avalos. The second was Mario Sepulveda, who talked
about how the experience tested his faith. He said:"I was with God and I was with the devil, they fought me,
but God won. He took me by my best hand, the hand of God."
The last miner up was Luis Urzua. He was the shift leader when his crew became trapped.
Rescuers used a metal cage to pull the miners to safety in less than twenty-four hours-faster than expected.
The rescue capsule was a half-meter wide and known as the Phoenix.

in May, and Father"s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for
parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These
two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the
home. More fathers must help with child care.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother"s Day people wear carnations
which have two colors. A red one symbolizes (象征) a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is
dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are
dead visit the cemetery. On these two days families get together to have parties at home, as well as in
restaurants. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own
presents. These are valued (珍爱) more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is
important, but it is "the thought that counts". Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone
companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.

of higher learning in the United States was founded in 1636. In 1638 it was named for John
Harvard, its first founder. During the 1640s the college was enlarged although it was short
of money. Meant to be an institution for the education of Puritan ministers (清教牧师),
it grew to be an institution of general education (普通教育), and new and more subjects and
policies (政策) were introduced. In the 18th century, particularly under John Leverett
(1708-24) the number of the students and campus equipment increased while the religious (宗

and in 1823 the state money was received for the last time. Under Charles W. Eliot, the
college became a great modern university. Its basic courses improved and enlarged, the
graduate school was set up for those who finished their four-year undergraduate study, and
the law and medical schools were reorganized. Eliot is also famous for his introduction
of the elective system at Harvard. Besides Harvard College, the university includes schools
of divinity (1816), law (1817), arts and science (1872), education (1920), engineering (1935),
reorganization of Lawrence Science School of l847, public administration (1935). Harvard also
has schools of business administration (1908), medical (1782), public health (1922), and dental
health (1941). Radckiffe college for women is connected with Harvard; its students are
taught by Harvard professors and receive diplomas given by Harvard. The university 1ibrary,
among the nation"s finest, houses over 8 million volumes and the Fog Museum of Art is one
