It was a Christmas night． I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on such a beautiful festival． When I was complaining（抱怨）about it， three people appeared at my desk ﹣ a tired woman and two children．
"Are you all sick？" I asked doubtfully because they seemed all right．
"Yes，" the woman answered weakly and lowered her head．
But when they started to present their problems， things became unclear． One child had a fever， but his temperature was OK． The other child had an earache， but she could not tell me which ear hurt． It seemed that the mother was pretending to cough．
Something was wrong．But I only explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them． "Take your time， please，" said the mother． I checked their charts ﹣ no address． Suddenly I knew， they were homeless while the hospital was warm．
The family huddled（蜷缩）together under the Christmas tree， smiling and talking with each other sweetly． Quietly， I went back to the nurses' station and told them what happened in the waiting room． It was just like God sending us a gift on Christmas Day． The nurses' station suddenly came back to life． All the nurses went into action for "a Christmas emergency（急诊）"．
We took out our meals for our Christmas "patients"． We also put together oranges and apples as presents． We tried to exceedthe needs of a family who only wanted a warm place on Christmas night．Later， the little girl kissed me and said， "Thanks for being our angel（天使）．"

A teacher in New York decided to honor her students by telling them the difference they each made． First she thanked to each of them how they made a difference to her and the class． Then she gave each student three blue ribbons with gold letters reading， "Who I Am Makes a Difference．"
The students went out to find somebody to honor． The person would keep a ribbon and give the extra ones to a third person to keep it going．
One boy went to a manager in a nearby company and honored him for helping him with his career planning． Later that day the manager went to see his boss． He told him that he deeply admired him for being a creative talent． He gave the surprised boss the last extra ribbon and asked him to find somebody else to honor．
That night the boss went home． He told his son what had happened and said，"I want to honor you， son． My days are really busy and when I come home I don't pay a lot of attention to you． Sometimes I shout at you for not getting good enough grades at school and for your bedroom being a mess，but somehow tonight． I just want to let you know that you do make a difference to me． Besides your mother， you are the most important person in my life． You're great kid and I love you! "
Hearing this， the boy started to cry and couldn't stop． He looked up at his father and said through his tears， "I was planning on leaving home tomorrow．Dad， because I didn't think you loved me．Now I don't need to．"

From the lower floors of the buildings．escaping through windows is possible．Learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury．The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground，Of course．it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building．

Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes!The program works because everyone's eyes are different．So in the future you won't have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank．You'll just have to look a the machine and it will be able to tell who you are．
The eye﹣recognition（眼睛识别）program has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA．Britain，Spain，Italy and Turkey．Soon this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are．Eye﹣recognition is a course of recognizing iris（虹膜），which includes the following steps．First，a kind of machine needs to collect different examples of one's iris from his eyes and store them．Second，when this person goes to the bank to take out money，this machine will have iris feature extraction （采集）．Then，this machine will compare the examples kept in it with iris feature extraction．Once the examples and the feature extraction are the same，this person will be identified，and he will take out the money from the bank successfully．
However，scientists are also working on other systems．Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell!We have already had machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger．Eye﹣recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don't change as you get older，and don't get dirty like hands or fingers，and even twins have different eyes．So the eye﹣recognition program can be up to 94% correct，depending on how good the technology is．However，some other programs may only be 51% correct now．In Britain，it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye﹣recognition．
In the future your computer will be looking at you in the eye，So smile!
