    Tommy hated school and was always looking for excuses(借口)not to go. If he sneezed(打喷嚏), he asked his mother to write to his teacher saying he had a cold. If he had a headache(头痛), he asked his mother to take him to the doctor during school hours. He spent more time at home than he did at school. On the days that he did go to school, he looked for excuses to come home early.

    One day he came home from school in the middle of the morning. His father was surprised.

    "You're home early," he said. "Is the school finished today?"

    "No, dad," Tommy said. "I came home early."

    "How did you do that?" his father asked him. "What did you say to the teacher?"

    "I told her that I had a new baby brother and that I had to come home and help you."

    "But your mother has had twins(双胞胎)," his father said, "a boy and a girl. You've got a baby brother and a baby sister."

    It was 12:45 pm on 2nd January 2007. 50-year-old Wesley Autrey was waiting for the train at an underground station in New York. His two daughters were with him.
    Suddenly a sick(生病的)man fell on the platform(站台). The man,20-year-old Cameron Hollopeter,got up,but then fell again—this time,onto the underground track(轨道). A train was coming into the station. It was very dangerous.
    But Mr Autrey wasn't afraid. He looked at the man. and he looked at where the man was. And he thought. "The train is going to travel over this man. If he tries to get up. the train will kill him. But if he lies on the track and doesn't move. he will be OK. "So he knew he had to make a decision(决定).
    He jumped. Mr Autrey lay on top of Mr Hollopeter,and kept him down as hard as he could. The train driver saw them. He was very afraid,but he couldn't stop in time. Several carriages(客车厢)passed over the two men before the train stopped.
    The people on the platform screamed(尖叫). When Mr Autrey heard them screaming,he shouted,"We're OK down here,but I've got two daughters up there. Let them know their father's ok. "People on the platform cheered and cheered for Mr Autrey.Underground workers helped the two men out. Mr Hollopeter was sent to hospital soon. He had no serious injuries(伤).
    Later on a TV talk show,Mr Autrey said,"The only thing that happened to me was that my blue hat got dirty. I didn't do anything special. I just saw someone who needed help. I did what I thought was right. "

    In 2011, when British photographer David J. Slater was visiting a park in Indonesia, his camera was taken away by a group of black monkeys. The result was hundreds of monkey selfies(自拍照). The best ones show a female monkey smiling toothily for the camera. Slater then sold the photos and they became popular on the Internet.

    Nobody knew they would create a copyright battle some years later.

Last month, Wikimedia Commons put the monkey selfies online under a collection of free photos without Slater's permission. Slater asked the website to take them down since he owns the copyright.

    However, Wikimedia Foundation-the organization behind Wikimedia Commons-refused Slater's request. They said that according to US copyright law, whoever pushes the button on the camera owns the copyright to the photo. It was the monkeys but not Slater that pushed the button. What's more, monkeys don't own copyright. "US copyright law says that works that come from a non-human source(血统)can't ask for copyright, " said Katherine Maher, Chief Communications Officer of Wikimedia.

    Slater argues that the pictures belong to him as they were taken from his camera. He said he bought the cameras, he spent a lot of money to travel to Indonesia, and it was his carelessness that allowed the monkeys to take his cameras away. All these have made him the author of the picture, no matter who pushed the button. In a sense(在某种意义上), the monkeys could be regarded as his assistant, Slater said.

    As of now(到目前为止), there has been no result in the Monkey Selfie case. Who do you think will win this interesting battle?
