Justin McCary
On October 8, 2015, Justin McCary, his 10-year-old daughter Haley, and his niece were doing some rock collecting near a railroad bridge in Chattanooga. When they heard the train coming, they started to move away from the tracks, but that is when Haley’s foot became stuck. He pushed her off the bridge and she fell 15-feet into the stream below. The girl survived, but the train killed the father instantly.
Jim Tramel
On Easter Sunday, 2016, Jim Tramel was on vacation with his family in Palm Springs. Suddenly Jim saw that something was wrong with his nine-year-old daughter.

Police believe that this murder was random, and no one has ever been arrested in connection with the crime that left Tre Martin fatherless.

22、Every year, the biggest and the best garden designers get together to create the Chelsea Flower Show, providing inspiration, trendsetting ideas and a glimpse of how our gardens might look next year.
On Trend: Green garden
Sustainable gardens have become a big trend in our towns and cities. Joe Swift inspired gardeners with his gold-winning design for the Homebase Teenage Cancer Trust that featured drought-buster (治理) architectural planting.
It could cope with even the driest conditions typically found in places where water is precious. His large pools of water had a cooling effect on people and plants.
On Trend: Space-saving Herbs
The Brewin Dolphin garden designed by Cleve West and Steve Swatton followed the Arts and Craft tradition, showing the beautiful strong lines of neatly beech (山毛榉) among its soft herbs planting. It proved to be a style that has never gone out of fashion.
You don’t need a large garden to have a piece of topiary (树木造型). These evergreens, which can be boxed or grown in pots, are easy to cut into shapes, such as balls, cubes and pyramids.
On Trend: Rhododendrons (杜鹃花) Woodland
Chris Beardshaw’s gold-winning design was packed with rhododendrons woodland bushes. It paid tribute (致敬) to Furzey Gardens in Hampshire, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year.
Rhododendrons might not be the trendiest choice but they deserve a comeback.
On Trend: Drought Buster
The Herbert Smith garden for WaterAid was inspired by the work of the charity and the transforming power of clean water.
Using water wisely is today’s issue, so invest in water butts (积水桶) to collect rainwater and gather waste water from baths, sinks and washing machines.

23、Susan Casado felt well prepared to have a birthday party of 15 to 20 guests for her son, Shemy, who celebrated his fourth birthday on Saturday. But after none of the boy's friends arrived, she never expected she'd be hosting nearly 100 surprise guests at her home.
Susan tells Yahoo Lifestyle that she was disappointed when her brother was the only person to show up at the party at first. After seeing that she had tears in her eyes, however, Shemy's uncle connected with a local Facebook group to call for more people to join the celebration. Moments later, a woman arrived at Susan's home asking for the birthday boy, although the family had never met her before.
As people continued to arrive, the mother realized that her brother had something to do with it, and was then shown a Facebook post that he made to advertise the party.
After more unexpected guests continued to arrive, however, Susan began to worry about the amount of food that she had prepared. "I felt so embarrassed," she explains. But guests didn't care about the food and drinks. Instead, they told the birthday boy's mother that they were there to "make Shemy's day", which even got better once the guests of honor arrived from St. Johns County Fire Rescue.
"My first thought was, 'Is everybody okay? Is anybody hurt?' And then they said, 'We're coming here to say happy birthday to Shemy,'" Susan says. "They said, 'We brought you a big toy, we brought you a fire truck.'"
Susan went on to explain that although Shemy has Down syndrome and isn't able to say much, he does express his happiness with laughter and hugs. "He hugs when he feels happy, so when people came in to meet him, we took pictures together and he hugged them. This is the way that he says thank you."
When Susan asked her brother why he went through the extra effort to make sure that his nephew's party was amazing. She says that he told her, "He should have a good birthday." As for the firefighters, who attended, they told the family that it's all part of the job. One of the firefighters, Jeremy Robshaw, tells Yahoo Lifestyle that they just wanted to "bring a smile" to Shemy's face.

24、 Now, it is winter and as you have probably noticed, virus are everywhere—runny noses, sore throats, nothing quite like the common cold to make you feel so uncomfortable. But experts believe that there is no link between cold weather and catching colds. So why are we particularly easy to catch colds this season?
Internal Medicine expert, Dr Meenakshi Jain of Max Hospital says, “One reason could be that people are likely to stay indoors, so the virus can spread easily. Also the virus grows strong and healthy under wet conditions.”
The common cold can be caused by any of up to 250 kinds of virus. The most common group of them is the kind of virus that hits the nose, which is called rhinovirus. Rhinoviruses cause a third and a half of all common colds.
“This kind of virus is spread through the nose and respiratory passages (呼吸道),by touch, and by contact with particles (微粒) in the air that are created by sneezing or coughing,” says Dr Jain.
There is no way to treat the common cold. However, there are some tips that can help. Wash your hands regularly, so that germs get killed. Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth, which can limit your chances of infection (传染). Don’t share drinking glasses with anyone as this will prevent the spread of the virus. Drink lots of water. Make sure to eat enough fruits to boost your immune system (免疫系统). Get enough sleep and you’ll certainly become stronger.
【1】What does the writer think will make you suffer most?
