　　July 21, 2007 was a typical English summer’s day-it rained for 24 hours!As usual, I rushed home from work at midday to check on the house．Nothing was amiss．By the time I left work at 5 pm, hoever, the road into our village was flooded．Our house had never been flooded but, as I opened the front door, a wave of water greeted me．Thank God the kids weren’t with me, because the house was 5 feet deep in water．We lost everything downstairs．And the plaster had to be ton off the walls, ceilings pulled down．

　　At first we tried to push on through．We didn’t want to move the children out of home, so we camped upstairs．We put a sheet of plastic across the floor to protect us from the damp．But after three months, we felt very sick, so we moved to a wooden house in a park．The house was small, but at first we were all just delighted to be in a new place．Unfortunately, things took longer than expected and we were there for 10 months．The life there was inconvenient．What surprised me most was how much I missed being part of a community(社區(qū))．We had lived in a friendly village with good neighbours, and I’d never thought how much I’d miss that．

　　Although our situation was very had, it’s difficult to feel too sorry for yourself when you look at what’s happening elsewhere．I watched a news peport about floods in Northern India and thought,

“We didn’t have a straw but(茅草房)that who swept away, and our house is still standing．We’re lucky．”

　　We moved back home in August．With December coming, there’s still reconstruction work to be done, so it’s difficult to prepare for Christmas, But I can’t wait-I’m going to throw a party for our friends in the village to say thanks for their support．This year, I won’t need any gifts-living away from home for months has made me realize how little we actually need or miss all our possessions．Although we are replacing things, there’s really no rush-we have our home back, and that’s the main thing．

Blameless

　　I was a freshman in college when I met the Whites. They were completely different from my own family, yet I felt at home with them immediately, Jane White and I became friends at school, and her family welcomed me like a long lost cousin.

　　In my family, it was always important to place blame when anything bad happened.

　　“Who did this?” my mother would scream about a dirty kitchen. “This is all your fault, Katharine,” my father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher broke.

　　From the time we were little, my sister, brothers and T told on each other. We set a place for blame at the dinner table.

　　But the Whites didn't worry about who had done what. They picked up the pieces and moved on with their lives. The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer Jane died.

　　In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida to New York. The two older sisters, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the youngest, Amy, had recently turned sixteen. Proud of having a new driver's licence(駕照), Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip. She showed off her licence to everyone she met.

　　The big sisters shared the driving of Sarah's new car during the first part of the trip, but when they reached less crowded areas, they let Amy take over. Somewhere in South Carolina, we pulled off the highway to eat. After lunch, Amy got behind the wheel. She came to a crossroads with a stop sign Whether she was nervous or just didn't see the sign no one would ever know, but Amy continued into the crossroads without stopping. The driver of a large truck, unable to stop in time, ran into our car.

　　Jane was killed immediately.

　　I was slightly injured. The most difficult thing that I've ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died. Painful as it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to lose a child.

　　When Mr, and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two daughters sharing a room. Sarah had a few cuts on the head; Amy's leg was broken. They hugged(擁抱) us all and cried tears of sadness and of joy at seeing their daughters. They wiped away the girls' tears and made a few jokes at Amy as she learned to use her crutches(拐杖).

　　To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said, “We're so glad that you're alive.”

　　I was astonished. No blame. No accusations.

　　Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign.

　　Mrs. White said, “Jane's gone, and we miss her terribly. Nothing we say or do will ever bring her back. But Amy has her whole life ahead of her. How can she lead a full and happy life if she feels we blame her for her sister's death?”

　　They were right. Amy graduated from the University of California and got married several years ago. She works as a teacher of learning-disabled students. She's also a mother of two little girls of her own, the oldest named Jane.

　　Mike is only three months younger than Zac Sunderland, the 17-year-old American boy who had taken the crown as the youngest solo around-the-world sailor in July．

　　The two youngsters met in Cape Town in South Africa as they crossed the globe in different directions．Mike insisted they were not rivals(競爭對手)．“No．It's two teenagers going out there, living their dream and having the adventure of a lifetime,” he said．

　　Mike may be young, but he is no stranger to sailing adventures．He picked up the hobby at the age of 6 when his father took him out in a small boat on a local lake．Father and son sailed separate boats across the Atlantic when Mike was 14, making him the youngest person to cross that ocean solo．That record gave him the taste for this even greater challenge．

　　On the recent journey, the scariest moment for Mike came when his sailboat was hit by storms in the southern Indian Ocean．

　　“We were picked up by what felt like a 60-foot wave and threw down on our side at 90 degrees,” he said．

　　“It felt like I was going right over．Stuff was flying around and I just thought ‘Oh no'．”

　　At other times, he had to dive into the Pacific and fix problems．He tied himself to the boat, jumped into the water and went to work with a knife in 30-second dives underneath the boat to cut a rope away．

　　Mike said he felt proud that he made his dream come true．“You've got to have confidence in yourself that you will make it,” he said．
