26、Trapped under ruins after the Iran earthquake, Dan Woolley believed he was going to die. But rather than giving up, the film-maker managed to look up ways to treat his injuries on his iPhone beneath the earth. He also wrote a moving diary for his family, allowing them to read his last messages of love and comforting them after his death. Instead, he was pulled from the ruins after a week--- and would soon meet his family.
Mr. Woolley, from Colorado Springs, America, had raveled to Iran with his colleague David Hames. Both had been working for Charity Compassion International. He was in the hotel when the earthquake struck. Buried under tons of ruins, the film-maker downloaded a first aid application to his iPhone. He used the instructions from the app to treat the serious bleeding. He used his shirt to tie off the injury on his leg and a sock to bandage the back of his head. The app advised him not to go to sleep if he felt sleepy. Mr. Woolley set his phone alarm to go off every 20 minutes to keep him awake.
Mr Woolley used a small black notebook to write messages to his family, including his son and wife. He had thought his relatives would read them after he was dead.
“ I was in a big accident. Don’t be upset at God,” he wrote. “ I’m still praying that God will get me out, but he may not. But he will always take care of you.”
Mr Woolley was eventually rescued by a French rescue team. After being flown to Miami for surgery, he said, “I cried. At that time I wanted to use that time to do everything I could for my family. I always wanted to survive, but I knew that was something that I couldn’t control.”
New technology really played a huge part in our life.

27、Writing a school paper may not be that easy for every student, especially to those who struggle with organizing their thoughts on paper. Follow some of these simple yet tried and tested ways on how to properly write a school paper.
【1】 Not every high school teacher follows the same rules and standards of writing as each will most likely have his own set of directions. Do not hesitate to ask your teacher for any matter that needs to be explained. 【2】
Do not limit yourself to boring and unoriginal topics for a school paper. Teachers will usually give out just one topic for a school paper. This topic will usually cover large areas of interests. Students will be given a chance to be critical and creative at the same time. Make sure that you take advantage of this by thinking about a really unique topic. 【3】 If you have trouble thinking of what to write, then by all means brainstorm with your classmates.
【4】 Once you are sure what to write about, start checking materials that can be included in your school paper. If you have to, then collect relevant resources. Just do not forget to take note of all of your resources as these will be your proof (证据) if your teacher requires it later.
Always start by writing a clear outline (提纲). An outline would be your best bet in making your school paper as organized as possible. 【5】
A.Follow the latest edition of the writing.
B.Have a full introduction for your paper.
C.Research your choice of the topic completely.
D.You can do this either during class or in the office.
E.Make sure that you have understood all of the teacher’s directions.
F.You’d better make one before jumping into the careful writing process.
G.So your school paper will stand out from the rest of your classmates’ works.
28、Differences do set us apart, but we often forget that we are all human, and our culture is much more representative (有代表性的) of our differing environment than truly different people. Here are some tips on how to understand and admire cultural differences.
【1】 In almost every single case, the only thing required to bridge cultural differences is an introduction. This isn't always easy, but the best thing to do is make an effort — go to the international folk music festival, eat in a restaurant where English isn't the first language, and say hello to the new family down the street.
Invite other cultures into your home. 【2】 Some people open their homes to exchange students with apps like Air BnB, while others might work through a church or charity to help provide for traveling groups. Even easier, you can simply invite people from other cultures over for dinner. 【3】
Read as much about the local culture as you can before arriving. It is irresponsible to arrive in a new place without knowing how things usually run. You may get immediately shocked upon landing, which can make it harder to accept the culture later on.【4】 Read online, check some books, and generally arrive well-informed. Having some knowledge beforehand will help with any culture shock.
Share parts of your own culture and life to encourage others to share theirs. One of the best things to bring while traveling is a set of photos from home, allowing you to bring people into your own life and culture from anywhere.【5】 And learning is the key to understanding and, finally acceptance.
A.You can accept travelers or exchange students.
B.Therefore, be ready for some shocks or changes in the real world.
C.Seek out experiences, foods, and people who seem foreign to you.
D.Get out to see new places, pushing your comfort zone as much as possible.
E.Giving a little bit of yourself is the best way to learn a little bit about others.
F.You'll be surprised how much most people want to meet and talk to foreigners.
G.The best way to understand and admire cultural differences is over food and friendship.
29、Before my first hike to the Rocky Mountains, I was a homebody. I had friends to hang out with, several hobbies, and I felt comfortable spending weeks or even months in my hometown without going anywhere. I thought there was no difference between seeing something on TV and seeing something with one’s own eyes.
The situation changed one day when David, my best friend, came to my room. He always got a couple of colorful bugs in his head. He succeeded in talking me into joining him on his trip to the Rocky Mountains.
This was my first time in the mountains, so I was turning my head in all directions. Unluckily, the weather was foggy most of the time, and the higher we climbed the mountains, the less we could see. But I still enjoyed the hike. I walked fast, and because of that I ran out of energy long before we got to the top. David knew how to save energy.
When we finally got to the top, nothing had really changed. The same fog was covering everything. I felt disappointed, as I expected to see the view from above and take some photos. We spent a couple of hours on the top, and decided to turn back. Then the wind suddenly cleared the clouds and the sun came out. It wasn’t until then that I knew how beautiful the mountains looked. And for some moments I couldn’t believe my eyes.
At that moment, I realized that I wouldn’t be able to live a life without visiting the mountains at least twice a year.
