21、 Five days after the roadside incident, I took my first coronavirus test. I felt exhausted and fragile, my head and joints aching. "I've heard that it hurts," I said to the blue-gowned woman who held what resembled a very long Q-Tip."I wouldn't say it hurts," she said, "but it is uncomfortable, for sure." A tear rolled down my cheek. If indeed I had the virus, I knew of only one possible exposure. Had I done the right thing on that dark country road?
It was a Saturday in early September. At home in the pandemic(世界流行病) I sometimes felt trapped. I loaded our three children into the minivan and drove about 80 miles from metro Atlanta to Yonah Mountain, a remote peak near the end of the Blue Ridge. This was a wild mountain, rather than a tourist destination, but we enjoyed the view and the feeling of freedom. At dusk, we were hurrying down the mountain against the oncoming night when I heard a man calling for help.
During the pandemic, I didn't stop as much as I used to, especially when it might put the children at risk. But there was no telling what misfortune might have found him on this lonely road. I stopped the van and opened my window. A young man in a white T-shirt appeared at the front passenger window, his mask dangling from(悬于) one ear. Seeming a little drunk, he said he had a fight with his girlfriend and was forced out of the car, and now he needed a ride home.
I told the man we were being careful with the virus and all. But he insisted he was being careful too, and begged whether he could have a ride home. "Okay, if you say so." I said, and asked him to put on his mask.I prayed a silent prayer and kept the windows open. In a strange town on a strange night, the young man was mostly polite, but he did swear a lot, as some people do when they're drunk. I followed his directions and drove him to his destination.
Six days later, I got an email with an ominous(不祥的) subject line: Your COVID-19 Test Results. I'd felt sick and tired and guilty for much of the week, and my heart pounded as I clicked the link. Part of me wanted to be positive, to finally confront the monster that was stalking us all, to have the fight and survive it and just stop being afraid. I entered my date of birth and pressed the button.

A Special Appointment
Years ago I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a small hospital’s emergency department.No one wanted to work on Christmas Eve, so the shift (轮班) went to me.I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spend the night in the hospital.It was a thankless job.
At 9 pm, the ambulance brought in a man in his 60s who was having a heart attack.His face was pale, and he was frightened. The whole night I did my best to save his life.Before I left in the morning to spend Christmas with my family, I stopped by to see how he was doing.It was still tough, but he had survived the night and was sleeping.

23、Growing Up in the Library
I grew up in libraries, or at least it feels that way. I was raised in the suburbs of Cleveland, just a few blocks from the brick-faced Bertram Woods branch of the Shaker Heights Public Library system. I went there several times a week with my mother. She and I would walk in together, but as soon as we passed through the door, we each headed towards our favorite sections. The library might have been the first place I was ever given autonomy.
Even when I was maybe four or five years old, I was allowed to head off on my own. Then, after a while, my mother and I would reunite at the checkout counter with our finds. Together we'd wait as the librarian pulled out the date card and stamped it with the checkout machine — that giant fist thumping the card with a loud chunk-chunk, printing a crooked due date underneath a score of previous crooked due dates that belonged to other people, other times.
Those visits were dreamy, frictionless (没有摩擦的) periods that held the promise of leaving me richer than I'd arrived. It wasn't like going to a store with my mom, which guaranteed a tug-of-war between what I wanted and what my mother was willing to buy me; in the library, I could have anything I wanted.
After we had finished checking out the books, I loved being in the car and having all the books we'd gotten stacked on my lap, pressing me under their solid, warm weight, their Mylar covers sticking a bit to my thighs. It was such a thrill leaving a place with things you hadn't paid for; such a thrill expecting the new books we would read. On the ride home, my mother and I talked about the order in which we were going to read our books, a serious conversation in which we planned how to pace ourselves through this charmed period of grace until the books were due.
When I was older, I usually walked to the library by myself, lugging back as many books as I could carry. Occasionally, I did go with my mother, and the trip would be as engaging as it had been when I was small. Even when I was in my last year of high school and could drive myself to the library, my mother and I still went together every now and then, and the trip unfolded exactly as it had when I was a child, with all the same beats and pauses and comments and daydreaming, the same perfect rhythm we'd followed so many times before. After my mother passed away two years ago, I plunged into a deep shadow of grief for a long time. When I miss my mother these days, I like to picture us in the car together, going for one more magnificent trip to Bertram Woods, during which we talked, laughed — as if she were still in my company, giving me inexhaustible strength.

The incident occurred in August 2020, when Whiting and her 10-year-old daughter, Hayley, were at the beach in Monterey, California.Sarmantha went into the water to try to save her daughter, but was struggling.

Last week, Samantha made a post on the Facebook group Merced Neighborhood Watch, and within hours, she was talking to Cozzi.
