A father with Parkinson’s disease was arrested as he watched the Olympic cycling road race because he failed to smile or look as if he was enjoying himself.
Mark Worsfold, a martial arts trainer and former soldier, claims that he was thrown to the floor and handcuffed just as cyclists passed by. His worried wife Nicola only found out he was being held after she reported him missing when he did not turn up for their daughter’s ninth birthday party. The 54-year-old man had his fingerprints, DNA and mugshot taken before being questioned about why he did not appear to be enjoying the event on July 28. Police said Mr. Worsfold, who was held for over five hours, was arrested because of his manner, his state of dress and his being too near to the course. A spokesman added that the arrest was necessary to avoid a breach (破坏) of the peace because he was standing near a group of protesters (抗议者).
But Mr. Worsfold, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2010, said that one of the symptoms of the disease is muscle rigidity, which can cause his face to become expressionless. “I was sitting minding my own business”, he told a local newspaper. “Before I knew anything the police grabbed me off this seven-foot wall, threw me to the floor and handcuffed me, so all I saw of the cycle race was between the feet of people from the pavement. It could have been done better. I was arrested for not smiling. I have Parkinson’s disease. ”
Mr. Worsfold has since asked for a letter of not being guilty from police. The officers who made the arrest have apologized to him.

I first met Sean one summer day. He carried a bag 36 with four clubs(球杆) and some balls. He was a lot 37 than other kids of his age. I heard he was 38 from cancer. Still , he always seemed to be smiling whenever I would see him with his friends, trying to 39 as far as he did.
A year or so passed and I hadn’t 40 Sean .I had heard that his cancer was 41 him. Still, his friends said he was going to come here before long.
42 enough , he was there the following week. I 43 that one of his friends was carrying Sean’s bag. I saw Sean was having a(n) 44 time trying to drive the ball. Sean hit his last ball as hard as his fragile body would 45 .It flew up to the green and was out of sight. One of his friends 46 Sean walk up to the green. It was a(n) 47 walk because the green was higher than the tee(发球区).
Suddenly I saw one boy pick up Sean’s ball and 48 it in the hole. Then he ran and 49 to look for his own ball.
When Sean finally got to the green, he looked 50 because he thought he hit it over .
Then he glanced in the hole. A smile 51 his face! The boys looked at each other and said , “You can’t tell me it’s a hole-in-one!”
“No, really ! Look !” he said . They all acted 52 and as I watched , I thought Sean looked like the 53 guy I had ever seen. I never saw Sean or his friends after that day. 54 it was then that I learned just what golf should be .

Night after night, my mother came to my bed, even long after my childhood years. She would 21 down and push my long hair out of the way, and then kiss my forehead. I don’t remember when it first started 22 me-her hands pushing my hair that way, for they felt work-worn and rough 23 my young skin. Finally , one night, I shouted out at her, “Don’t do that any more-your hands are too rough!” she made no 24 and left quietly. But never again did my mother do it with that familiar expression of her 25 .
With the passing years, my 26 returned to that night time after time. By then I 27 my mother’s hands and her goodnight kiss. Sometimes the incident seemed very 28 , sometimes far away, but always it was 29 in the back of my mind.
The years have passed, and I’m not a little girl any more. Mom is in her seventies, and those hands I once 30 to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family.
Now, Mom no longer has Dad and lives 31 . One night on Thanksgiving Eve, I found myself 32 to her house to spend the night with her. As I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly ran across my face to 33 the hair from my forehead. Then a 34 , ever so gently , touched my forehead. I burst into tears.
In my memory, thousands of times, I 35 the night my young voice complained. Catching Mom’s hand in hand, I told her how 36 I was for that night. I thought she’d remember 37 I did. But Mom didn’t know what I was talking about. She had already forgotten and 38 long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with a new 39 for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was 40 to be found.

In 1982, Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank. He was out of the sailing track and floating in a lifeboat, alone. His supplies were 36 . His chances of surviving were small. 37 when three fishermen found him seventy-six days later, he was alive — much 38 than he was when he started, but alive.
His 39 of how he survived is interesting and attractive. His subtle act — how he 40 to catch fish, how he evaporated sea water to 41 fresh water — is very interesting. But the thing that 42 my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost, when it seemed no 43 continuing the struggle, when he was 44 greatly, when his lifeboat was pierced and after more than a week’s struggling with his weak body. He was starved and 45 exhausted. Giving up would have seemed the only sensible choice.
When people 46 these kinds of circumstances, they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going. Many people in 47 dangerous circumstances give in or go mad. Something the survivors do with their thoughts helps them find the courage to carry on 48 major difficulties.
"I tell myself I can 49 it," wrote Callahan in his book. "Compared to what others have been through, I"m fortunate. I tell myself these things over and over, 50 courage and strength."
I wrote that down after I read it 51 it struck me as something important. And I"ve told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed 52 off or when my problems seemed too powerful. And every time I"ve said it, I have always come back to my senses.
The truth is, our circumstances are only bad 53 to something better. But others have been through much worse, that is, in comparison with what 54 have been through, you"re fortunate. Tell this to yourself over and over again, and it will help you 55 the rough spots with a little more perseverance(毅力) .
