The day before Mother's Day this year, police received a call from a wife. She said that her husband, Melvin Amrine who suffers Alzheimer's disease, had gone missing from home.
Police found Melvin Amrine two blocks from their home, unable to tell officers where he lived. He was buying his wife Doris flowers for Mother's Day, as he had every year since she had given birth to their first child.
Melvin's condition worsened slowly since he had the disease three years ago. His wife has taken him carefully, watching helplessly as it steals her husband's memories and personality away from him.
Officers said they would take the old man straight home--but Melvin Amrine was having none of that. "" Officer Troy Dillard told CBS. "He wasn't going home until he got those flowers," Officer Brian Grigsby said, "That's what he wanted. He wanted flowers for his wife, because tomorrow was Mother's Day."
They secretly stopped in at a local supermarket and helped him select a bunch of beautiful cream-colored roses. "We had to get those flowers," Grigsby says, "We had to get them. I didn't have a choice."
Doris Amrine was relieved when she saw her husband walking up their front stairs in the company of the police officers.
"As he came up those steps, and I saw those roses and the smile on his face, I was deeply moved," Doris told CBS, "I just said, thank you, thank you, because I saw his heart."
It's special, because even though the mind doesn't remember everything, the heart remembers.
A. He would not change his mind. B. But her relief turned to joy when he gave her the flowers. C. So the officers decided to help Melvin achieve his goal. D. However, he knew where he was going. |
Jason Queally is one of the fastest men in the world on a bicycle.
Every year, an important human-powered bicycle race is held in Nevada, the USA. The speed of the bike is measured for only 200 meters, but players take more than a kilometer to get their bikes going fast. Jason Queally's fastest speed for the 200-meterrase was 103.5 kilometers an hour.

At seventy kilometers an hour, a crash could be very serious. Jason was frightened, but he managed to stop the bike safely. He would repair his bicycle and try again another time to be the world's fastest man on a bike. Better luck next time, Jason.

Subject: | Tips for a trip to San Francisco | ||
Hi, Li Ming, I'm glad that you are coming to San Francisco next month, But I think there is still something I should let you and your friends know before you leave. First, bring a warm jacket and sweater so that you re prepared for changes in the temperature. Even in the summer months of July and August, it gets cold. Second, many of the phone boxes at San Francisco Airport and in the centre of the city only accept prepaid (预付款的) phone cards. So a prepaid phone card is needed. I suggest you buy one at the airport. Third, it's not easy to find a hotel room when you arrive. Hotels fill up quickly in San Francisco all year, especially in summer. You'd better book your room before you come. One more thing, San Francisco is a great walking city— but there are hills! Bring a comfortable pair of walking shoes if you're planning to go around on foot. Lastly, there are many wonderful cultural activities in San Francisco all year round. Use the Internet 1o get the latest information about the activities all the time of your visit. Wish you a pleasant trip. |
