They were late.Barbara had to drive much faster.Barbara，a night－duty nurse at the local hospital，had recently worked extra shifts.She was tired.
“Mom！” Ben cried.“Look！” Just ahead，a car had lost control on a patch of ice.Barbara pulled over，and threw open her door.Thank goodness she was a nurse—she might be able to help these unfortunate passengers.
Then she paused.What about Ben? She couldn't take him with her.Little boys shouldn't see scenes like the one she anticipated(预料)．But was it safe to leave him alone? What if their car were hit from behind?
For a moment Barbara considered going on her way.Someone else was sure to come along.No! “Ben，honey，promise me you'll stay in the car！”
“I will，Mommy，” he said as she ran.It was worse than she'd feared.Two girls of high school age are in the car.One was dead.The driver，however was still breathing.Barbara quickly applied pressure to the wound in the teenager's head.If help came soon，the girl would live.
Barbara called for help on her cell phone and soon she heard the ambulance sirens(报警器)．
“Good job，” one said as he examined the driver's wounds.“You probably saved her life，madam.”
Slowly Barbara opened her car door.What should she tell Benjamin? He was staring at the crash site，his blue eyes huge.“Mom，” he whispered，“did you see it？”

Actor Russell Brand bought his new bride Katy Perry，a singer，the most extreme wedding present anyone could imagine：a tiger! The couple got married at the Aman－i－Khas resort in Rajasthan，India yesterday and Russell supposedly surprised his new wife with Machli，a female Bengal tiger who lives in the Ranthambore National Park，near the place where he proposed(求婚) and got married.
However，according to the Mail On Sunday，Russell Brand，who chose the big cat because she is known as the “epitome(缩影) of beauty” by park rangers and reminds him of his new bride－plans to leave the tiger in India and will pay for her welfare on Katy's behalf.
Although a statement released by the couple revealed the ceremony was performed by a Christian minister and long－time friend of Katy's family，it is believed the wedding maintained some Indian traditions.The bride and groom wore traditional Indian clothes with Katy wearing a sari(纱丽) while on Friday，at a celebration before their wedding ceremony，she had henna(指甲花) designs applied on her palms and hands.The wedding place was decorated with lamps，colourful lights and flower garlands(花环) while two elephants named Laxmi and Mala were also part of the wedding ceremony.
