As a first-aid responder, you never know what type of situation you might walk into, or who you'll meet along the way. That's definitely been the case for Jeffrey Lanenberg, a 51-year-old first-aid responder since 1984.

Ten years into the job, Jeffrey received a call that reported that a man in his early 30s had fallen down in the Mall of America. When Jeffrey and his partner arrived at the scene, they found the young male face down on the ground. He had gone unconscious, making weak attempts to breathe. His wife stood beside him holding their small son in horror. They quickly rushed to calm the man to keep him under control and offer necessary first aid. After Jeffrey dropped the patient off at the neighboring hospital, he thought about the man and his family for a long time.

Jeffrey thought he had experienced everything under the sun until one random visit to Office Max three years ago, where he met a man repeatedly walk back and forth while staring at him. As it turned out, the man was the patient he had saved 20 years earlier.

"You gave me 20 years more than I ever thought I'd have," the man said. He thanked Jeffrey repeatedly and told him he had someone he wanted him to meet. He stepped around the corner and reappeared with a 20-something-year-old man. Jeffrey instantly knew that it was the son he had seen standing by his mother all those years ago.

"That day changed my life," Jeffrey said." Before that, everything was about work…When I talk to my beginner-training class, I tell them you never know the impact you can have on someone's life."

Lawrence Ferlinghetti, the poet, publisher, painter, social activist and bookstore owner, has been San Francisco' honored poet. He turns 100 this month, and the city is making preparations to celebrate him in style. Readings and performances and an open house will take place at City Lights, the sacred bookstore he co-founded in 1953.

On March 24, 1919, Lawrence Felinghetti was born in Yonkers, New York. After spending his early childhood in France, he received his BA from the University of North Carolina, an MA from Columbia University, and a PhD from the Sorbonne.

He is the author of more than thirty books of poetry, including Poetry as Insurgent Art; A Coney Island of Mind. He has translated the works of a number of poets, including Nicanor Parra, Jacques Prevert, and Pier Paolo Pasolini. In addition to poetry, he is also the author of more than eight plays and three novels. Including Little Boy: A Novel, Love in the Days of Rage and Her.

In 1953, Ferlinghetti and Peter Martin opened the City Lights bookstore in San Francisco, California. It became a nerve center for the Beats and other writers. Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and other writers from that era were Easterners who dropped into San Francisco for a spell. In 2001 it was made an official historic landmark. Now City Lights is almost certainly the best bookstore in the United States. It's filled with serious world literature of all kinds.

If City Lights is a San Francisco institution, Ferlinghetti himself is as much of one. He has loomed over the city's literary life. As a poet, he's never been a critical favorite. But his flexible and plain-spoken and often powerful work — he has published more than 50 volumes — has found a wide audience. His collection "A Coney Island of the Mind" has sold more than 1 million copies, making it one of the best-selling American poetry books ever published.

According to a new study, running 50 minutes a week, at a pace between 10- and 7.5-minute mile, helped lower the risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease and other causes. Working out more than that didn't mean more health benefits, say the researchers, based on a review of a number of studies.

Because running is a popular form of physical activity, study coauthor Zeljko Pedisic and his workmates chose to take a bird's eye view of what past studies of running and the risk of death had concluded. The team collected 14 papers that collectively studied 230,000 people for the effects of running on cardiovascular, cancer and other causes. Most participants were from the US and Europe.

Pooling the results from these 14 studies showed that running led to lowering the risk of cancer-related death by 23%, the risk of cardiovascular-related death by 30%, and the risk of death from all other causes by 27%. Those benefits appeared even when people ran relatively slowly and for under an hour a week — less time than the World Health Organization recently suggests.

There are warnings to the research, though. Among other things, possibly these benefits were found because all the 14 studies of running and the cause of death only included healthy people from the get-go, the authors write. Also, only two of the papers recorded how people's running habits over the years, and how often people ran was self-reported in other papers.

Though the results suggest that people might need less of a workout than the WHO might suggest, that doesn't mean it's time to change these standards, Pedisic says. There are other health factors than need to be examined besides the risk of death, he says, and people need other ways to keep fit, too.

"Click!" That's the sound of a seat belt locking in place.So I don't drive anywhere until I wear it. Choosing to wear your seat belt is as simple as choosing between life and death. Which one do you choose?

Think about it. When you are driving in a car, you may be going 60 MPH or faster. Then somebody ahead of you locks up his or her brakes. Your car, which was going 60 MPH, has now suddenly stopped. Your body, however, is still going 60 MPH.Will it be the windshield or your seat belt? I choose the seat belt.

 They think that seat belts don't allow them much space to move freely in the car. To them, what's more uncomfortable? Wearing a seat belt or flying through a windshield?

Let's just take a closer look at your choices. If you are not wearing your seat belt, you can hop around the car and slide in and out of your seat easily. You are more likely to die or suffer serious injuries. That means you are more likely to walk away unharmed from a car accident.

Wearing a seat belt does not always ensure your safety. You can still get hurt or killed while wearing a seat belt. You are much less likely to get seriously injured or killed in a car accident. So why not take a safer way?

A. Some people forget to wear seat belts.

B. Seat belts save lives and that's a fact.

C. What's going to stop your body?

D. Some people think seat belts are uncomfortable.

E. If you are wearing a seat belt, you have to stay in your seat.

F. If you don't wear a seat belt, the police will give you a ticket.

G. But wearing them has proven to be safer than driving without them.

Dear Mum and Dad,

I'm writing to tell you about my situation here.

……

Yours,

Li Hua

I always prided myself on being a wise shopper and having a good nose for bargains. So when I came across a sporting goods store with a sign "Going Out of Business Sale", I marched into the crowded store. Up and down the aisles (通道), I wandered, humming to myself and enjoying the energy and excitement of a sale.

All of a sudden, there, at the back of the store sat a canoe(轻舟) exactly like my husband's dream Supremo Numero-Uno, whose picture had been stuck on the  bathroom mirror for years. My heart beat wildly. I pushed my way through the crowds, and nearly fell into the canoe looking for the price tag. There it was, with the manufacturer's suggested price at $6,750 plus tax crossed out and a handwritten TO CLEAR $750 AS IS. Must be a mistake. $6000 off? Salesman. I had to talk to a salesman. I spotted a young fellow with a "Hi. I'm Mathew". "Mathew. Tell me about this El Supremo canoe. What's wrong with it? Why is it only $750?"

"Oh. There's nothing wrong with it. It's brand new. We're closing the store. It's on clearance like everything else. I'll go check." A few minutes later he came back and said, "I'm sorry ma'am. Someone made a mistake on the sale tag. It should be $4,750 for the whole package."

I felt tears well up in my eyes. "Oh well", I said sadly. "Of course, it was too good to be true. This is exactly like my husband's dreamboat. I guess I started to dream myself when I saw that price tag. He's going to be 62 years old Friday. Had to retire early for his health. It's been hard on just the pension but the stubborn old fool has been saving $10 every week for years to buy one just like this. I promise I won't buy anything, but it's just an old man's silly dream, you know. Always said he wanted to fish in a canoe after he retired," my voice lowered and I turned and walked away.

Paragraph 1:

I was already at the mall door when Mathew caught up with me. "Do you have $750 plus $25 for delivery, madam?"

Paragraph 2:

"Ma'am. There's something you should know. This store was my Grandpa's and the canoe had been ordered by him.
