A doctor entered the hospital hurriedly after being called in for an important surgery （外科手术）．
He found the boy's father in the hall waiting worriedly．
On seeing him，the father cried out，"Why did you take all this time to come？Don't you know that my son is in danger？Don't you have any sense of duty？"
The doctor smiled and said，"I am sorry．I wasn't in the hospital and I came as fast as I could after receiving the call and now，I wish you'd calm down so that I can do my work．"
"Calm down？!What if your son was in this room right now？Would you calm down？If your own son dies while waiting for a doctor，then what will you do？"said the father angrily．The doctor smiled again and replied，"We will do our best and you should also pray （祈祷）for your son's healthy life．"
The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy，"Thank goodness!Your son is saved!"And without waiting for the father's reply he carried on his way running by saying，"If you have any questions，ask the nurse．"
"Couldn't he wait some minutes so that I can ask about my son's state？"shouted the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left．
The nurse answered，tears coming down her face．"His son died yesterday in a road accident．He was at the burial （葬礼） when we called him for your son's surgery．And now that he saved your son's life，he left running to finish his son's burial．"

On Nov.18th,1908,three men went up in a balloon（气球）.They started early in London. The headman was Augusta Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a big balloon and they were ready for a long way.
Soon they heard the sea. They were carrying the usual rope（绳子）,and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water, or it could be empty. So they were able to change its weight. It was for use over the sea. They were also carrying some bags of sand.
After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 meters, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men's basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand; but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake and made a black hole in the ice.
At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing, so they climbed to get away from the snow. They rose to 5,100 metres! Everything became icy.
