“A lot of the debates people have about money are code for how we want to live our lives,” said Betsey Stevenson, assistant professor of business and public policy at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, who researches the economics of marriage and divorce. “A lot of the choices we make in how we want to live our lives involve how we spend our money.”
Although I was not a man who would easily bow to fate, as the summer break came to a close, I decided to give up economics for fear that I would fail in both subjects. Now that I had only one subject to attend to, everything seemed to be on the right track again.

Today, while most of us marry for romantic reasons, marriage at its core is still a financial union. So much of what we want – or don’t want – out of life boils down to dollars and cents, whether it’s how hard we choose to work, how much we consume or how much we save.

Unit 1 一A\1 Dr. Rob Boll was craving a hot turkey dinner and a slice of apple pie. After a hectic week treating patients with sore throats and ear infections at his family practice, the 52-year-old physician was ready for a night of home cooking and fellowship at his church’s annual fund-raising dinner.2 Stepping inside the crowded gym at St. John’s United Church of Christ, Boll and his family found a long line of people waiting to be seated. He wasn’t surprised. The turkey feast had become a popular event in Mokena, Illinois, attended by hundreds from the surrounding Chicago suburbs. Many weren’t even members of the congregation. They’d simply heard about the good food and were willing to pay $10 to heap their plates and help pay for the church’s new community center. Boll and his wife, Dana, and their son, Kyle, 14, went every year.3 After sitting down, Boll had barely placed his napkin in his lap when he heard a commotion on the other side of the room. “Help!”a woman shouted. “Does anybody know how to do the Heimlich?”4 Jumping up from the table, the doctor could see a white-haired woman slumped over in her chair. “I’m a doctor. What’s going on?”Boll said to the group gathered around 76-year-old Pat Rohrer.5 “My mother-in-law choked on a piece of turkey,”answered a frantic Colleen Rohrer. “We’ve tried the Heimlich maneuver, but it’s not working.”Boll reached around Pat’s abdomen and pulled sharply upward with his fists. Nothing happened. Moving quickly, he lifted Pat up and onto the floor to get her into a better position. Twice again he tried the Heimlich, but she still didn’t respond.6 This can’t be happening, Boll thought. He worried he wouldn’t be able to help her. Looking up, he recognized Steve Hoblin, a nurse from the hospital near his office. “Steve, stick your fingers down her throat and see if you can sweep anything out,”he said. Hoblin reached in and pulled out a small piece of turkey.7 But Pat still wasn’t breathing. In fact, she was rapidly turning blue. Apparently, some food was still lodged in her throat. Boll knew he needed to do something drastic —and fast —to get air into her lungs. His only chance was to perform an emergency tracheotomy.8 “Call 911! And get me a sharp knife!”he shouted. His wife ran to the kitchen, and Hoblin handed over his pocketknife.9 Boll had never done the operation before. He flashed back to the only time he’d seen one performed: during his residency 20 years earlier. That procedure had been done in a sterile, controlled environment by expert surgeons. How was a family doctor supposed to accomplish the same thing at a church dinner with a dull pocketknife?10 He was relieved to see that his wife had found a clean paring knife. Taking a deep breath, Boll carefully cut a small slit in Pat’s neck. As blood poured from the wound, he broke into a sweat. But Boll knew it was too late to stop. Two or three precious minutes had already passed. She couldn’t survive much longer without oxygen. Boll figured he had about 45 seconds to save her life.11 Oblivious to the crowd breathlessly watching him work, Boll steadied his hands and continued. But the knife wouldn’t cut deep enough. Out of nowhere, a man handed Boll a switchblade. It had a tapered point, nice and sharp, with a three-inch blade that locked securely in place. Boll quicklyfinished the cut.12 Then, as if she were reading his mind, Colleen handed him a tracheotomy tube. Her son, Shaun —Pat’s grandson —has a severe lung condition and needs a tube to keep his airway clear. But he could manage without it for an hour or so.13 Pat was turning bluer by the second. Colleen helped Boll gently push the tube into Pat’s trachea. Seconds ticked by like minutes, but the pair worked calmly, with precision —just like a surgical team, thought the doctor.14 “I’m in,”he said once the tube was finally in place.15 But the crisis was far from over. Boll needed to resuscitate the unconscious woman. Fortunately, her family never went anywhere without an emergency kit containing a manual resuscitator bag, just in case Shaun had trouble breathing.16 Colleen clicked the bag onto the tube and pumped. Within seconds, Pat Rohrer started breathing and the color returned to her cheeks.17 As paramedics rushed in and took over, Boll stood up, trembling. He certainly hadn’t anticipated anything like this when he left his job as a social worker to go to med school.18 “I’m not terribly religious,” Boll says now, “but I know now that God goes to turkey dinners at churches. To take a doctor who only half knows what he’s doing and give him the right tools —I don’t know how I recalled what I needed to do. To me, there’s no explanation but divine intervention.”19 Maybe so, but Howard Stephens, assistant chief of the Mokena Fire Protection District, was quick to point out, “Without Dr. Boll, this lady wouldn’t have made it.”20 Now that her grateful mother-in-law is back at home, with no signs of infection from the switchblade surgery, Colleen says, “We are so thankful that in this age of lawsuits, Dr. Boll was willing to put himself on the line. He just stepped up and did what had to be done.”BWhat can you bring into the US?1 When you arrive in or return to the United States, you will have to go through US Customs.2 US Customs is the division of the US Department of the Treasury that is responsible for obtaining all duties and taxes on items imported into the United States.3 On the flight, you will be given a customs declaration form to complete. You must give this form to the customs officer when you arrive at the airport terminal. The officer will ask you about your purpose in this country. Your answers should be short, direct, and honest. Avoid giving extra information. The officer will ask for more details only if needed.4 Customs officers may examine luggage, cargo, and travelers if they suspect someone is smuggling items into the country. Many airports have sniffer dogs that search for drugs or agricultural products. You should review the US Customs website, which provides guidelines for international travelers entering the country.Things to consider5 You are allowed to bring less than $100 worth of gifts into the United States without paying duty.6 Do not bring any food into the country. It is against the law to bring perishable food products into the United States. This includes fruit, vegetables, meat, and plants. If you were given food on the plane, leave it on the plane.7 Linens, clothes, professional equipment, and other household items may be brought into thecountry without paying duty — but only if you have owned them for a while and they are not for resale.8 Products made from certain animal species are forbidden in this country. For more information, contact the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.9 Ther e isn’t a limit to how much money you may bring. However, if you are transporting more than $10,000, you must file a report with US Customs.10 Any medications that contain narcotics, or which are administered by a syringe, must be accompanied by a signed prescription from your physician. Penalties for smuggling narcotics are very severe.What can you bring into the UK?11 The last hurdle before entering the United Kingdom is passing through HM Revenue & Customs. It’s really not very complicated as lo ng as you obey a few simple rules.12 It’s also faster than you might expect. European Union (EU) countries use three channels for customs processing. If you arrive from another EU country, whatever passport you hold, choose the Blue Channel once you’ve c ollected your luggage. Arriving from outside the EU, choose either the Green Channel —if you have nothing to declare based on the allowances —or the Red Channel, if you have goods over the duty-free allowance.13 The whole thing is based on an honor system. But keep in mind that, though it doesn’t happen often, you can be stopped for a spot check in the Green or Blue Channels, and the penalties for breaking the law are pretty stiff.Unit 二A1 The forest was full of shadows as a little girl hurried through it one summer evening in June. It was already eight o’clock and Sylvia wondered if her grandmother would be angry with her for being so late.2 Every evening Sylvia left her grandmother’s house at five thirty to bring their cow home. It was Sylvia’s job to bring the animal home to be milked. When the cow heard Sylvia’s voice calling her, she would hide among the bushes.3 This evening it had taken Sylvia longer than usual to find her cow. The child hurried the cow through the dark forest, toward her grandmother’s home. As the cow stopped at a small stream to drink, Sylvia put her bare feet in the cold, fresh water of the stream.4 She had never before been alone in the forest as late as this. Sylvia felt as if she were a part of the gray shadows and the silver leaves that moved in the evening breeze.5 It was only a year ago that she came to her grandmother’s farm. Before that, she had lived with her mother and father in a dirty, crowded factory town. One day, Sylvia’s grandmother had visited them and had chosen Sylvia from all her brothers and sisters to come help her on her farm in Vermont.6 The cow finished drinking, and as the nine-year-old child hurried through the forest, the air was suddenly cut by a sharp whistle not far away. Sylvia knew it wasn’t a friendly bird’s whistle. She forgot the cow and hid in some bushes. But she was too late.7 “Hello, little girl,”a young man called out cheerfully. “How far is it to the main road?”Sylvia was trembling as she whispered “two miles”. She came out of the bushes and looked up into the face of a tall young man carrying a gun.8 The stranger began walking with Sylvia as she followed her cow through the forest. “I’ve been hunting for birds,”he explained, “but I’ve lost my way. Do you think I can spend the night at your house?”Sylvia didn’t answer. She was glad she could see her grandmother standing near the door of the farm house.9 When they reached her, the stranger explained his problem to Sylvia’s smiling grandmother.10 “Of course you can stay with us,”she said. “We don’t have much, but you’re welcome to share what we have. Now Sylvia, get a plate for the gentleman!”11 After eating, they all sat outside. The young man explained he was a bird collector. “Do you put them in a cage?”Sylvia asked. “No,”he answered slowly, “I shoot them and stuff them with special chemicals to preserve them. I have over one hundred different kinds of birds from all over the United States.”12 “Sylvia knows a lot about birds, too,” her grandmother said proudly. “She knows the forest so well, the wild animals come and eat bread right out of her hands.”13 “Maybe she can help me then,”the young man said. “I saw a white heron two days ago. I’ve been looking for it ever since. It’s a very rare bird. Have you seen it, too?”He asked Sylvia. But Sylvia was silent. “You would know it if you saw it,”he said. “It’s a tall, strange bird with soft white feathers and long thin legs. It probably has its nest at the top of a tall tree.”14 Sylvia’s heart began to beat fast. She had seen that strange white bird on the other side of the forest. The young man was staring at Sylvia. “I would give ten dollars to the person who showed me where it is.”15 That night Sylvia’s dreams were full of all the wonderful things she and her grandmother could buy for ten dollars.16 Sylvia spent the next day in the forest with the young man. He told her a lot about the birds they saw. Sylvia could not understand why he killed the birds he seemed to like so much. She felt her heart tremble every time he shot an unsuspecting bird as it was singing in the trees.17 Sylvia would have liked him vastly better without his gun; but as the day waned, Sylvia still watched the young man with loving admiration; the woman’s heart, asleep in the child, was vaguely thrilled by a dream of love. They stopped to listen to a bird’s song; they pressed forward again eagerly —speaking to each other rarely and in whispers; Sylvia followed the young man, fascinated, a few steps behind, with her gray eyes dark with excitement.18 Long after the moon came out and the young man had fallen asleep, Sylvia was still awake. She had a plan that would get the ten dollars for her grandmother and make the young man happy. When it was near sunrise, she quietly left her house and hurried through the forest. She finally reached a huge pine tree. Her plan was to climb to the top of the pine tree. She could see the whole forest from there. She was sure she would be able to see where the white heron had hidden its nest.19 Sylvia’s bare feet and tiny fingers grabbed the tree’s rough trunk. Sharp dry branches scratched at her like cat’s claws as she climbed higher and higher.20 When Sylvia had at last reached the tree’s highest branch, the golden sun’s rays hit the green forest. Two hawks flew together in slow-moving circles far below Sylvia. Sylvia felt as if she could go flying among the clouds, too.21 Suddenly Sylvia caught a flash of white that grew larger and larger. A bird with broad white wings and a long slender neck flew past Sylvia and landed on a pine branch below her. The white heron smoothed its feathers and called to its mate, sitting on their nest in a nearby tree. Then itflew away.22 Sylvia gave a long sigh. She knew the wild bird’s secret now. Slowly she began her dangerous trip down the ancient pine tree. She did not dare to look down and tried to forget that her fingers hurt and her feet were bleeding. All she wanted to think about was what the stranger would say to her when she told him where to find the heron’s nest.23 About an hour later Sylvia came back home. Both her grandmother and the young man stood up as she came into the kitchen. The splendid moment to speak about her secret had come, but Sylvia was silent. She remembered how the white heron came flying through the golden air and how they watched the sun rise together from the top of the world. Sylvia could not speak. She could not tell the heron’s secret and give its life away.24 The young man went away disappointed later that day. He never returned. Many a night Sylvia heard the echo of his whistle haunting the forest. She forgot even her sorrow at the sharp report of his gun and the sight of thrushes and sparrows dropping silent to the ground, their songs hushed and their pretty feathers stained and wet with blood.25 Were the birds better friends than their hunter might have been? Who can know?B1 Hello, everyone! My name is Luca. On behalf of Suntan Tours I’d like to welcome you all to Los Cabos. The bus ride to your hotel will take about fifteen minutes.

Classmates spread rumors via instant messaging that the 13-year-old boy was gay. A popular female classmate pretended to like him and chatted with him online, only to copy their personal exchanges and share them with her friends. Unable to cope, the teenager from Vermont in the US, killed himself.2 Gail Jones, a 15-year-old from the UK, took her life after receiving, at one point, 20 silent calls on her cell phone every 30 minutes. Her father, Glyn, suspects a final call in the middle of the night pushed her over the edge.3 These are extreme but far from unique examples of the devastation caused by cyber-bullying. Since Halligan died in 2003 and Jones in 2000, more and more children are logging on to the Internet, so it’s likely that online bullying, including sending threatening messages, displaying private messages, and posting embarrassing videos and photos online, is also increasing.4 A study last month by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, based in Washington, found that one third of US teenage Internet users have been targets of cyber-bullying. And as online communication evolves from instant messaging and chatrooms to social networking sites and YouTube, the venues where bullying occurs are becoming both more central to young people’s lives, and more public.5 Research into the causes and effects of cyber-bullying is still in its infancy. But it is becoming clear that aspects of online communication encourage people to act aggressively, prompting them to do things they wouldn’t dare to try in real life.6 What’s more, the ability to reach more people, and the always-on culture of the Internet, mean that cyber-bullying can have an even more detrimental effect on the victim than conventional playground bullying. “It’s school-yard bullying taken to the next level,”says Justin Patchin, a criminologist at the University of Wisconsin. A study by UK-based Internet market research firm YouGov in 2006 found that for one in eight young people cyber-bullying is even worse than physical bullying.7 One reason for this is the sheer number of people who can view something that is posted online. “It would be bad enough to be cyber-bullied by one kid and nobody else knew about it, but a video seen by hundreds or thousands of your peers could be devastating,”says Robin Kowalski, a psychologist at Clemson University in South Carolina and co-author of the book Cyber Bullying: Bullying in the Digital Age, which will be published in October.8 Ghyslain Raza, also known as the “Star Wars Kid”, learned this the hard way. In 2002, the somewhat overweight and slightly awkward Canadian adolescent made a video of himself playing with a pretend light sabre and left it lying around at school. When his classmates found the video in 2003, they posted it online as a joke. (To be continued)Raza was so upset he finished the school year from a psychiatric ward. Unfortunately for him, it wasn’t just his friends who found the video amusing. According to UK marketing firm The Viral Factory, it became the Internet’s most downloaded video of 2006.9 Another reason cyber-bullying is so harmful is its relentlessness, says John Carr, chair of the Children’s Charities’Coalition for Internet Safety in London. “When I was a kid, playground bullying stopped when the bell rang and you went back inside or when you went home at the end of the day,”he says. “With cyber-bullying it is 24/7, 365 days a year. There is no escape.”(To be continued)While an adult could simply turn off the computer, that’s not really an option for today’s teens, who are dependent on the Internet for communicating with their peers. “This is the always-on generation,”says Kowalski. “This is how they communicate.”A 2007 Pew study found that 93 percent of US teens use the Internet and 61 percent go online daily.10 The Internet doesn’t just amplify the effect of bullying, however. The many options to remain anonymous when online, by using pseudonyms, say, for instant messaging, mean people can write things they would not dare to if their identity was known.11 Anonymity was at the heart of a 2001 incident when a student at an elite high school in New York City set up a Web page that let students vote anonymously on who they felt was their most promiscuous peer. (To be continued) “Just enter the name of the person in the interschool who u think is the biggest ho (be them FEMALE or MALE) and write the number of their grade next to their name (maybe even their school),” read the site. “Since it’s anonymous, u can write about whomever u please!” More than 13,000 votes were cast, and about 150 names, mostly girls, appeared before it was shut down.12 Anonymity can also amplify bullying’s negative effect on the victim. “The psychological ramifications of not knowing who’s attacking you can be maddening,”says Kowalski. “The bully could be your best friend, a sibling, or half the school.”In a recent, as yet unpublished survey she carried out, nearly half of the children she interviewed didn’t know who their cyber-bully was.13 The lack of face-to-face contact might tempt bullies to new levels of cruelty. “On the playground, seeing the stress and pain of the victim face-to-face can act as an inhibitor to some degree,”explains Carr. “In cyberspace, where there is no visual contact, you get more extreme behaviour.”Kowalski says the effect is unique to computer-mediated communication. “The re is a distancing of the self and immediacy in response that we don’t have in any other form of communication,” she says.“On the computer, it’s like it’s not really you.”14 So what can be done? Led by Ruth Aylett of Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland, a consortium of European researchers recently developed role-playing software called FearNot!, which gets children to empathize with victims of bullying. After watching a short animation of a child being bullied either in the playground or online, the viewer is asked to help the victim by typing advice into the computer. The software will be tested in schools in the UK and Germany later this year.15 Meanwhile, some governments have taken legislative action. In January 2006, the US Congress passed a law making it a federal crime to “annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass” another person over the Internet. Approximately 36 states have enacted similar legislation. (To be continued) And in South Korea, the “Internet real-name system”, introduced last month, forces online portals and news websites to record the identities of people who post content and to disclose their contact details if someone wants to sue them for libel or infringement of privacy.16 However, it can be difficult to persuade people to take these laws seriously, and in the US they only apply to over-18s. “Many jurisdictions don’t want to investigate or prosecute these cases,”says Al Kush of , an Internet safety advocacy group based in Seattle, Washington. “They are short-staffed and busy pursuing what they call ‘real crime’.”17 John Halligan, the father of the boy who killed himself after being harassed online, continues to lobby for cyber-bullying legislation that specifically targets children. He also talks to school groups and runs a website recounting the events that led to his son’s death. “It won’t bring Ryanback,” he says. “But it is helping a lot of Ryans out there that are still alive and don’t know where to turn.”B1 In order to conduct online transactions between you and your customer, you need an online payment system to facilitate your online transactions.2 Common Uses of Online Payment Systems• Sending money to friends and family• Paying for online purchases• Receiving secure, instant pay ment for auctions•Sending a payment request to a customer•Receiving charity donations•Collecting money for a group gift, an event, or a dinner bill3 PayPal and WorldPay are the online payment system market leaders.

There are many stories told about the quiet valley. But the story that people believe most is about the apparition of a headless horseman. The story says the man died many years ago during the American Revolutionary War and he had his head shot off. He is ever seen hurrying along in the gloom of night, looking for his lost head.2 Near Sleepy Hollow is a village called Tarry Town. The village had a small school and the school teacher was named Ichabod Crane. Ichabod Crane was a good name for him, because he was tall and thin, just like a crane. His shoulders were small, joined to long arms. His head was small, too, and flat on top. He had big ears, large glassy green eyes, and a long nose.3 Ichabod did not make much money as a teacher. And although he was tall and thin, he ate like a fat man. To help him pay for his food he earned extra money teaching young people to sing.4 Among the ladies Ichabod taught was one Katrina Van Tassel. She was the only daughter of a rich Dutch farmer. She was a blooming lass of fresh eighteen; plump as a partridge; ripe and melting and rosy-cheeked as one of her father’s peaches. Ichabod had a soft and foolish heart for ladies, and soon found himself interested in Miss Van Tassel.5 But there were many hurdles blocking the road to Katrina’s heart. One was a strong young man named Brom Van Brunt, a hero to all the young ladies. He was broad-shouldered and double-jointed, with short curly black hair, and a bluff but not unpleasant countenance. He always won the horse races in Tarry Town and earned many prizes. Brom was never seen without a horse. Such was the enemy Ichabod had to defeat for Katrina’s heart.6 Stronger and wiser men would not have tried. But Ichabod had a plan. He could not fight his enemy in the open. So he did it silently and secretly. He made many visits to Katrina’s farm and made her think he was helping her to sing better.7 Time passed, and the town people thought Ichabod was winning. Brom’s horse was never seen at Katrina’s house on Sunday nights any more.8 One day in autumn Ichabod was asked to come to a big party at the Van Tassel home. He dressed in his best clothes. A farmer loaned him an old horse for the long trip to the party.9 Brom Van Brunt rode to the party on his fastest horse, called Daredevil. All the young ladies smiled happily when they saw him.10 Ichabod was happy dancing with Katrina, the lady of his heart, while Brom, sorely smitten with love and jealousy, sat brooding by himself in one corner. When the music stopped, the young people sat together to tell stories about the Revolutionary War.11 Soon stories about Sleepy Hollow were told. The most feared story was about the rider looking for his lost head. One farmer told how he raced the headless man on a horse. The farmer ran his horse faster and faster. Until the headless horseman suddenly stopped. Gone were his clothes and his skin. All that was left was a man with white bones shining in the moonlight.12 The stories ended and time came to leave the party. Ichabod seemed very happy until he said goodnight to Katrina. Was she ending their romance? He left feeling very sad. Had Katrina been seeing Ichabod just to make Brom Van Brunt jealous so he would marry her?。

大学英语第四册Pa课文翻译
在我们的孪生女儿出生后的第一次"约会”时，我和丈夫一起去看了一部名为《玩具故事》的电影。
我们很喜欢这部片子，但随后我丈夫问道："父亲在哪儿呢？”起初我还认为因为一个小小的失误而批评一部很吸引人的家庭影片似乎是太偏狭了。
可后来越想越觉得这一疏忽太严重了。
父亲不仅没有出现，他甚至没有被提到——尽管家中有婴儿，说明他不可能离开太长时间。
影片给人的感觉是，父亲出现与否似乎是个极次要的细节，甚至不需要做任何解释。
新闻媒体倾向于把父亲的边缘化，这只是一个例子，它反映了在美国发生的巨大的社会变化。
大卫?布兰肯霍恩在《无父之国》一书中将这种倾向称之为"无需父亲”观念。
职业母亲（我想这应是与无职业母亲相对而言的）奋斗的故事从媒体上无尽无休地轰击着我们。
与此同时，媒体上绝大多数有关父亲的故事又集中表现暴力的丈夫或没出息的父亲。
看起来似乎父亲惟一值得人们提及的时候是因为他们做家务太少而受到指责的时候（我怀疑这一说法的可靠性，因为"家务”的定义中很少包括打扫屋顶的雨水沟、给汽车换机油或其它一些典型地由男人们做的事），或者是在他们去世的时候。
当布兰肯霍恩先生就"顾家的好男人”一词的词义对父亲们进行调查时，许多父亲都回答这一词语只有在葬礼上听到。
这种"无需父亲”综合症的一个例外是家庭全职父亲所受到的媒体的赞扬。
我并非暗指这些家庭全职父亲作出的承诺不值得人们的支持，我只是想指出在实际生效的双重标准：家庭全职父亲受到人们的赞扬，而家庭全职母亲和养家活口的父亲，所得到文化上的认同却很少，甚至完全得不到。
我们用来讨论父亲角色（即没出息的父亲）的话语本身就显示出人们对大多数男人默默无闻而自豪地履行对家庭承担的责任缺乏赏识。
我们几乎从来没听到"职业父亲”这一说法，在人们呼吁应该考虑给予工作者在工作地点上更大的灵活性时，很少有人认为这种呼吁不但适用于女子，同样也适应于男子。

这位52岁的内科医生在他的家庭诊所忙碌了整整一个星期，治疗那些患有咽喉疼痛或耳朵感染的病人，这时正准备在他所属教会的年度筹款晚宴上享受一些家常烹饪，并和教友相聚。
2 博尔和家人走进拥挤的圣约翰联合基督教会体育馆，发现很多人排着长队等座。
对此他已司空见惯。
伊利诺伊州莫克那镇的火鸡宴已成为深受欢迎的活动，成百上千的人从芝加哥周围的郊区赶来参加这项活动。
许多人甚至不是这个教会的会员，他们只是听说这里有美食，愿意花上10美元饱餐一顿，同时为教会的新活动中心做点贡献。
博尔和妻子达娜还有他们14岁的儿子凯尔每年都来。
3 博尔刚坐下，还没来得及把餐巾在膝盖上放好，就听到房间另一头传来了喧闹声。
“快帮帮忙！”一个女人大叫着。
“有人知道怎么做海姆利克急救吗？”4 博尔医生一跃而起，看到一个银发老太太伏在椅子上。
“我是医生，出什么事了？”博尔对围在76岁的帕特·罗勒身边的人群问道。
5 “我婆婆被一块火鸡卡住了。
”焦急的科琳·罗勒答道，“我们已经试过海姆利克急救了，但没有效果。
”博尔从后环抱住帕特，将手放在她的腹部，用拳头使劲往上推，但没有任何动静。
他迅速把帕特扶起来，放到地上，让她的姿势更有利于急救。
他又用海姆利克急救试了两次，但仍不见效。
6 这太不可思议了，博尔心想。
他开始担心自己救不了她。
抬起头，他认出了史蒂夫·霍布林，他办公室附近一家医院的护士。
“史蒂夫，你把手指伸进她的喉咙，看看能否掏出什么，”他吩咐道。
霍布林将手指伸进去，掏出了一小块火鸡。
7 但是帕特仍然没有呼吸。
事实上，她的脸色正在迅速变青。
显然她的喉咙里还卡着食物。
博尔知道，要把空气送入她的肺部，必须采取极端的行动，而且要快。
唯一可以做的就是进行紧急气管切开手术。
8 “打911！给我拿把锋利的刀过来！”他大声喊道。
他的妻子赶紧跑向厨房，霍布林则把他的小折刀递了过来。
9 博尔以前从未做过这种手术。
他回想起唯一一次看过别人做这种手术，还是20年前在医院实习的时候。
那次手术是由外科专家在无菌并且可控的环境里进行的。
而他自己只是一个家庭医生，怎么能在一个教会晚宴上用一把钝钝的小折刀完成这种手术呢？10 当他看到妻子给他找到了一把干净的水果刀才放了心。
博尔深吸一口气，小心翼翼地在帕特的颈部切了个小口子。
血一下子从伤口涌出来，他出了一身冷汗。
但是博尔明白，现在已经不能停止了。
两三分钟宝贵的时间已经过去了，没有氧气，她坚持不了多久。
博尔推测自己大约只有45秒钟的时间来挽救她的生命。
11 周围的人群屏住呼吸看着他工作，但他丝毫没有感觉到。
博尔稳住双手，继续手术。
但是水果刀切得不够深。
这时，不知哪位男士递给博尔一把弹簧刀。
这把刀刀口尖细，锃亮锋利，三英寸的刀片稳固地锁在刀鞘里。
博尔很快完成了切割。
12 然后，科琳似乎看出了他的心思，将一根气管套管递给了他。
她儿子肖恩，即帕特的孙子，患有一种严重的肺病，需要一根管子才能保持呼吸道通畅，但是个把小时不用管子问题也不大。
13 每过一秒，帕特的脸色就更青一点。
科琳帮助博尔将管子轻轻地推进帕特的喉咙里。
时间一秒一秒地过去，感觉却像是一分一分地在流逝，但是这两个人镇静地工作着，配合得天衣无缝——就像一个手术小组一样，博尔心想。
14 “进去了。
”最后管子一放好，博尔就说道。
15 但是危机还远未结束。
博尔必须将这位昏迷的老太太弄醒。
庆幸的是，她的家人出门总是带着急救箱，里面有手动苏醒气囊，这是以防肖恩出现呼吸困难而准备的。
16 科琳将气囊扣到管子上，开始打气。
不一会儿，帕特·罗勒开始呼吸，脸色也恢复了正常。
17 医护人员赶来接管了剩下的事情，博尔站起来，浑身颤抖。
当年他辞去社会工作者工作去上医学院的时候，自然没有预见会遇到这种事。
18 “我不是一个狂热的教徒，”博尔说，“但我现在知道了，上帝会去参加教会的火鸡晚宴。
把一个不明就里的医生带到这儿，并给他合适的工具——我不知道自己是如何想到该怎么做。
我无法解释这一切，只能说是上帝显灵了。
”19 也许是吧，但莫克那镇防火区主任助理霍华德·斯蒂芬斯很快指出：“要是没有博尔医生，这位女士是不可能起死回生的。
”20 科琳的婆婆怀着感激之情回家了，没有任何因在手术中使用了折叠刀而感染的迹象。
科琳说：“在这个容易惹上官司的时代，博尔医生敢于冒这样的风险，挺身而出，实在是太让人感激了。
”21 十一月的那个晚上晚些时候，罗布·博尔从医院回来之后，发现还有一件事有待完成。
他晃进教会厨房，挽起袖子。
“需要洗碗的时候上帝通常不会显灵。
”他说道。
去美国和英国能带些什么？去美国能带什么？1 当您去美国或回美国时，必须先过美国海关。
2 美国海关是美国财政部的一个分支机构，负责对进口到美国的商品收取关税和其他税。
3 在飞机上，您会得到一张海关申报表，并要求填写。
到达航站大楼时您要将此表交给海关官员。
海关官员会询问您来美国的目的。
回答要简短、直接而真实，避免提供多余信息。
如有必要，海关官员会询问更多的细节。
4 如果海关官员怀疑有人要走私物品到美国，就会检查行李、货物和旅客。
许多机场都有嗅探犬，用来搜查毒品或农产品。
您应提前查阅美国海关网址，该网址为进入美国的外国游客提供了指南。
注意事项5 你可以携带价值不超过100美元的礼品进入美国而不需付关税。
6 不要将食品带入美国。
将易变质的食物类产品带入美国是违法的，这包括水果、蔬菜、肉和植物。
如果飞机上附赠的食物没吃完，就把食物留在飞机上。
7 家用织品、衣服、专业设备和其他家用物品可以免税入关，但这些物品必须已经拥有一段时间，且不能转售。
8 某些动物产品不能带入美国。
欲知详情，可与动植物卫生检疫局联系。
9 可以带多少现金进入美国没有限制。
但是，如果您随身携带的现金超过一万美元，必须向美国海关报告。
10 任何含有麻醉成分或由针管注射的药品必须附有医生的签名处方。
走私麻醉品的处罚十分严厉。
去英国能带什么？11 进入英国的最后一关是通过英国皇家税务海关总署。
只要遵循几条简单规则就不会很复杂。
12 入关速度也比您预想的快。
在海关入关方面，欧盟国家设有三种通道。
如果您是来自另外一个欧盟国家，不论持有何种护照，提取行李后可选择蓝色通道。
如果您来自欧盟以外的国家，要么选择绿色通道——如果根据免税上限无物品可申报，要么选择红色通道——如果您的物品价值超过了免税额度。
13 入关通报是建立在诚信制度上的。
然而请记住：虽然这种情况不常发生，但在绿色或蓝色通道处您可能要停下来接受随机检查，而且对违法行为的处罚非常严厉。
unit 2白鹭萨拉·奥恩·朱厄特1 六月的一个黄昏，森林里树影婆娑，一个小女孩正在其中匆匆穿行。
已经是晚上八点了，西尔维娅想，这么晚回家，外婆会不会生气呢？2 每天傍晚五点半，西尔维娅就离开外婆家去把母牛牵回家。
她的活就是把这头牲口赶回家挤奶。
母牛听到西尔维娅叫她的声音时，老是躲到灌木丛中去。
3 这天晚上，西尔维娅花了比平时更长的时间才找到母牛。
小女孩赶着牛，匆匆穿过阴暗的树林，向外婆家走去。
母牛在一条小溪边停下来饮水时，西尔维娅就把她的光脚浸在冰凉清澈的溪水中。
4 她以前从未这么晚还独自一人呆在林子里。
西尔维娅觉得自己仿佛与灰暗的树影和在晚风中摇曳的银色树叶融为一体了。
5 她是一年前才来到外婆的农场。
之前，她和父母住在一个肮脏拥挤的工业小镇。
一天，西尔维娅的外婆来看望他们，在西尔维娅所有的兄弟姐妹中挑中了她，把她带回佛蒙特州的农场做帮手。
6 母牛喝完水后，这个九岁的小女孩继续在林中匆匆前行。
突然，不远处传来一声尖锐的口哨声，打破了林中的宁静。
西尔维娅知道，这不是鸟儿亲切的啼鸣。
于是她不顾母牛，躲进了一丛灌木，但是已经太晚了。
7 “嗨，小姑娘，这儿离大路有多远啊？”一个年轻人高兴地喊道。
西尔维娅浑身颤抖，低声嗫嚅道：“两英里。
”她从灌木丛中钻出来，抬头看到一个高高的小伙子，手里拿着一杆枪。
8 西尔维娅继续赶着母牛穿过森林，陌生人跟着她走。
“我是来寻找鸟的，”他解释道，“但我迷了路，我能不能在你们家住一宿？”西尔维娅没有回答。
她很高兴看到外婆正站在农舍门口等她。
9 他们走上前去，陌生人向西尔维娅的外婆说明了他的困境，外婆一脸笑意。
10 “您当然可以住在这里。
”她说道，“我们不怎么富裕，但还是欢迎您和我们分享一切。
好了，西尔维娅，给这位先生拿只盘子。
”11 晚饭后，三人都坐到屋外。
年轻人解释说他是个鸟类收藏家。
“您把它们关在笼子里吗？”西尔维娅问道。
“不，”他慢慢地回答，“我用枪把它们打下来，然后用一些专门的化学药物把它们制成标本保存起来。
我已经有来自美国各地一百多种不同鸟类的标本了。
”12 “西尔维娅对鸟也很熟悉。
”外婆自豪地说，“她对这片林子了如指掌，野生动物甚至都会到她身边，吃她手里的面包。
”13 “这样或许她能帮帮我。
”年轻人说，“两天前我看见一只白鹭，然后一直在寻找它，这种鸟非常少见。
你见过它吗？”他问西尔维娅，但西尔维娅沉默不语。
“只要见到它，你就会知道是它。
”年轻人说，“这种鸟体型高大，非常奇特，羽毛又白又软，双腿细长。
它很可能把巢筑在大树的顶端。
”14 西尔维娅的心开始狂跳，她在森林的另一头见过这只奇特的白鸟。
年轻人盯着西尔维娅说：“谁能帮我找到那只鸟，我就付给她十美元。
”15 那天晚上，西尔维娅的梦里尽是她和外婆用这十美元能买到的好东西。
16 第二天，西尔维娅和年轻人在林子里呆了一整天。
他告诉了她许多关于他们看到的鸟的事情。
西尔维娅不明白，为什么他看起来这么喜爱这些鸟，但却要把它们杀死。
每当他把一只毫无戒心正在唱歌的小鸟从枝头打落时，她的心都颤抖不已。
17 要是他手里没有枪，西尔维娅准会更加喜欢他。
白日将尽，西尔维娅仍然满怀钦慕之情地注视着这个年轻人，沉睡在这个孩子心底的那颗女性之心被一种爱恋的梦幻轻轻地搅动了。
他们时而停住脚步，聆听鸟儿的歌唱；时而拨开树枝向前急行，偶尔耳语几句。
西尔维娅落后几步跟在年轻人的后面，心醉神迷，那双灰色的眼睛因兴奋而变得黑亮。
18 月亮早己爬上树梢，年轻人也进入了梦乡，西尔维娅却无法入睡。
她想出了一个主意，既能为外婆拿到十美元，又能让年轻人高兴。
拂晓时分，她悄悄离开家，匆匆穿过森林，最后来到一棵大松树前。
她打算爬到树顶，在那儿能看到整个森林。
