2 . One minute, Peggy Lewis and her husband, Harris Lee, were watching the trees blow in the wind. The next, they were surrounded by flying pieces of glass from the house’s broken windows. The roof was torn off. The walls caved in (塌陷). After the 152-mph tornado (龙卷风) had passed, it took a team of neighbors to pull the couple from the rubble (碎砖) and take them to the hospital.
When the pair returned to their house three days later, it was clear that what remained of the house would need to be torn down, but before Peggy would let that happen, she wanted one thing first—her family Bible.
Peggy had bought the Bible 35 years earlier, at the start of her marriage. Like many people, she’d used it to hold her family’s history — old photos, and a handkerchief from her great-grandmother.
The Bible was the first thing Peggy looked for when she returned to the house. When two volunteers showed up, Peggy had one task for them.
After an hour of searching, one of the volunteers ran up to her. Peggy had tears running down her face. The young woman had found the book while looking through rubble. Surprisingly, while many other books inside the house had been destroyed beyond recognition, the Bible was still complete, even though it had sat in the rain for days. “I completely broke down,” says Peggy. “I thought it was gone forever.” She was extremely grateful.
Peggy and her family were living at a friend’s house until they got back on their feet. But the book already has its well-deserved place of honor, in Peggy’ borrowed dresser. She knows that while every good book tells stories of disastrous (灾难性的) weather and unlikely survival, this one actually lived it.

[Hot Snake]
... This morning, however, a fireman accidentally discovered the cause. He noticed the remains of a snake which
It was a sunny afternoon in June, 2022 when Anthony Perry stepped off the train at the station. The 20-year-old, who worked nights in a grocery store, was on his way to see his grandfather so they could go see a car Perry was thinking about buying.
On the platform, two men were fighting. Then the unthinkable happened: The pair tripped over the edge and onto the tracks. One man ended up on his back, defending himself off blows. Suddenly, he started trembling. The attacker jumped back up onto the platform and disappeared.
The man had fallen onto the third rail, the conduit (电导管) for the electricity that powers Chicago’s trains. As Perry and other horrified onlookers watched, he trembled greatly as the current flew through his body, his head bouncing up and down off the tracks.
“Help him!” a woman screamed. “Please, someone!”
Perry couldn’t just stand there and watch. He climbed down, took a few quick jumps until he was standing over the victim.
The guy looked dead. Perry wondered how he was going to escape the situation he’d just put himself into. The train he’d just gotten off was delaying, thankfully.
Gathering courage, Perry reached down and grasped the victim’s wrist. Instantly, he felt a great electric shock shoot through his body. Perry jumped back. He reached down a second time, and was shocked again. But the third time he seized the man’s wrist and, braving the shock, pulled. The guy’s body slid briefly along the third rail, coming to rest on the outer edge of the tracks.
The man was breathing, but worn out. Something wasn’t right.
“Give him chest compressions (按压)!” yelled a woman on the platform.
Perry was no expert, but for a few moments he worked on the man’s heart until the victim began shaking. Once again, Perry grabbed him, keeping him from falling back onto the third rail.
