    Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously, Jason was determined not to go against their father's wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.

    "Dad will be really mad if he finds out you've been playing with his new computer." Jason said. "He told us not to touch it."

    "He won't find out, "Mark said." I'll just have a quick look and shut it down."

    Mark had been scolded before for touching his father's equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.

    It was a strange—looking machine--one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. "It's an experimental model, "his father had explained," so don't touch it under any circumstances." But his father's warning only made Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colors, shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen: "SPACE TRANSPORTER."

   "Yes!" Mark cried excitedly, "It's a computer game. I knew it! Dad's only been pretending to work. He's really been playing games instead. ''A new message appeared on the screen:

    "ENTER NAMES

    VOYAGER 1…

    VOYAGER 2… "

    Mark's fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.

    "INPUT ACCEPTED START TRANSPORT PROGRAM. AUTO RETRIEVE INITIATED(自动回收程序已启动). "

    The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.

    "I think we'd better shut it off, Mark, "Jason yelled, reaching for the power switch. He was really frightened.

    But his hand never reached the switch. A single bean, of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒), until the)themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down Just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed.

    Manu,an eight﹣year﹣old boy,was sleeping comfortably in his bedroom.After a weekend break from his school,Manu failed to get up on time on Monday morning again.

    "Manu,wake up.It's time for you to go to school,"shouted out Manu's mother,

    Akhila,from the kitchen.Manu pulled the blanket over him and pretended he didn't hear his mother's repeated shouting."Manu! Please wake up!It's already 6:30and your school bus will be here in ten minutes.Wake up and get ready."

    After much yelling,Manu finally got up lazily when the school bus stopped in front of the house.Akhila had to ask the driver to wait for a few minutes.She quickly helped Manu get ready and helped him get on his school bus.

    "Phew!Manu didn't miss his bus today.Akhila sighed and thought to herself."What should I do with this boy?Manu neither wakes up on time nor completes any of his daily tasks at the right time.It's time to teach him a lesson."

    The next morning,Akhila was in the kitchen as usual.Everything seemed normal in the house except for the  unexpected silence.

    Manu finally woke up at around 9o'clock.He looked at the clock and ran to the kitchen,crying out,"Mamma!Why didn't you wake me up?I am really late for school."He couldn't stop crying."I have a maths test today and Madam Mangat will punish me if I miss her class and the test!"Madam Mangat was the strictest teacher in Manu's school.The fear of missing her class made Manu cry even louder."Mamma,what should I do now?Please help.I promise I will wake up every day on time."

    Akhila could no longer see her son crying and said,"Just promise me one more thing that you will do your daily task on time without pestering you to do it.

    "Sure Mamma!I promise!

    Akhila said in a loving voice."I have already got permission from your math teacher and she has allowed Myou to take up the test today."

    Manu hugged his mother."Mamma!Thank you."He quickly got himself ready for school without any help from Akhila.

    On the way to the school,there was silence in the car but a smile on Akhila's face.

    While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland, Oregon, I had an experience which happened only two feet away from me.

    Trying to locate my friend among the passengers coming through the jet way, I noticed a man walking toward me carrying two light bags. He stopped right next to me to greet his family.

    First he kissed his three children one by one and said, "It's nice to see you. I missed you so much!" Then he hugged his wife, "I've saved the best for last!" giving her the longest, most passionate (狂热的) kiss I ever remember seeing. They stared at each other's eyes, smiling at one another, while holding both hands. For an instant they reminded me of newlyweds (新婚夫妇), but I knew by the age of their kids that they couldn't possibly be.

    Full of admiration, I asked, "Wow! How long have you two been married?" "Being together for fourteen years total, married twelve of those." He replied, without breaking his gaze from his lovely wife's face. "Well, then, how long have you been away?" I asked. "Two whole days!" "Two days?" I was astonished. By the intensity (热烈) of the greeting, I had thought he'd been gone for at least several weeks —if not months. I knew my expression betrayed me, so I turned away my eyes and said quietly, "I hope my marriage is still that passionate after so long!"

    The man suddenly stopped smiling and looked me straight in the eye. With forcefulness he told me something that left me a different person. "Don't hope, friend. Decide!" Then he smiled again, shook my hand and said, "God bless!"

    With that, he and his family turned and walked away together.

    I was still watching that man and his special family walk just out of sight when my friend came up to me and asked, "What are you looking at?" Without hesitation, and with a curious sense of certainty, I replied, "My future!"

    It was a Christmas night. I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on such a beautiful festival. When I was complaining(抱怨)about it, three people appeared at my desk — a tired woman and two children.

     "Are you all sick?" I asked doubtfully because they seemed all right.

    "Yes," the woman answered weakly and lowered her head.

    But when they started to present their problems, things became unclear. One child had a fever, but his temperature was OK. The other child had an earache, but she could not tell me which ear hurt. It seemed that the mother was pretending(假装)to cough.

    Something was wrong. But I only explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them. "Take your time, please," said the mother. I checked their charts — no address. Suddenly I knew, they were homeless while the hospital was warm.

    The family huddled(蜷缩)together under the Christmas tree, smiling and talking with each other sweetly. Quietly, I went back to the nurses' station and told them what happened in the waiting room. It was just like God sending us a gift on Christmas Day. The nurses' station suddenly came back to life. All the nurses went into action for "a Christmas emergency(急诊)".

    We took out our meals for our Christmas "patients". We also put together oranges and apples as presents. We tried to exceed the needs of a family who only wanted a warm place on Christmas night. Later, the little girl kissed me and said, "Thanks for being our angel(天使)."
