Daily News
A 14-year-old boy from the USA was descried as a hero yesterday after he saved the life of a woman in another country.
Dean Bluey from Dallas, Texas, was a school boy who was interested in computer. One day, he was sending an e-mail to a friend on the Internet. Suddenly he received a message saying “Help! Help! Help!” The message was from Finland, (芬兰) thousands of kilometers way from the USA.
“I didn’t know what I should do, “ Dean said to a reporter afterwards. “It was really difficult to tell if the message was real.” So Dean did nothing at first. But the message kept coming.
“By then it was easy to see that someone was in trouble,” Dean explained. He replied and discovered that the sender was a 20-year-old student called Tarja, who was alone in a university library. She was very ill. What was worse, there was no phone around her. Her only way of communicating with the world was by e-mail.
Dean got in touch with the Texas police. The police immediately realized that the situation was quite serious. They found it necessary to telephone the police in Finland. Then an ambulance rushed to the university, and soon doctors found Tarja. Luckily, she was still alive and was quickly sent to the hospital. “I’m glad she’s OK,” Dean said. “It’s hard to believe, but e-mail saved her life.”

Have you ever had an embarrassing (尴尬) experience? Last week we asked readers to tell us about embarrassing experiences. We received thousands of letters! Here is a selection.
Tony:
My most embarrassing experience happened when I had just left university. I had just started teaching in a Liverpool secondary school. One morning my alarm clock didn’t ring. I woke up at half past eight and school began at nine. I quickly washed, dressed, jumped into my car and rushed to school. When I arrived, the students had already gone into class. I didn’t go to the office, but went straight into class. After two or three minutes the students began laughing, and I couldn’t understand why! Suddenly I looked down and understood. I had put on one black shoe and one brown shoe!
Henry:
The most embarrassing experience I’ve ever had, happened two years ago. After seeing a film, my wife and I had lunch in our favorite restaurant in town. Then we decided to take a walk along the street. The street was very busy and we started looking at some watches in the new window. After a minute or two I reached for my wife’s hand. There was a loud scream, and a woman slapped my face. I hadn’t taken my wife’s hand. I’d taken the hand of a complete stranger!
James:
My wife and I had decided to buy a new house, and I’d made an appointment to see our bank manager. I’d never met him before and I was a bit nervous. I went into town in my car and I was lucky enough to find a parking space outside the bank. I’d just started reversing (倒车) into the space when another car made its way into it. I was irritated! I opened my window and shouted at the man in the car. He ignored me and walked away. It took me twenty minutes to find another space. As soon as I had parked the car, I rushed back to the bank. I was ten minutes late for my appointment. I went to the manager’s office, knocked and walked in. The manager was sitting behind his desk. He was the man who had taken my parking space!

Kyra Komac, 28 years old, now has 25 furniture stores all over the country. The new store, in London’s Camden High Street, takes her back to where it all started. She tells us about how the business began. W hen I was little, my mother began selling flowers in Camden Market. She couldn’t leave me at home on my own, so I had to go to the market with her.
To begin with, I didn’t have to do anything. I just sat there, and my mum told me jokes and stories so I did n’t get bored. When I got older, I gave my mum a hand and I really enjoyed it.
Then, one year, my grandma gave me a book for Christmas. It was all about making candles and I loved it. I was 14, and I didn’t have to go to the market any more because mum could leave me at home on my own. I spent my free time making candles of all shapes and sizes. I made hundreds of them.
One day, my mother was ill so I had to go to the market on my own. I decided to take some candles with me and see if I could sell them. They were sold out in twenty minutes! The next week, my mum gave some money to buy some wax (蜡) to make more candles. They sold out really quickly, too.
Nine months later, we decided to stop selling flowers. My mum and I couldn’t make enough candles during the week, so some of my school friends started to help us. I paid them one pound for every candle, and we used to sell them for three or four times that. It was fun and my friends worked with me in the market.
At the age of 22, my uncle lent me some money and I opened my first shop in Portobello Road. Since then, I’ve never looked back, even in difficulties. In the first store, we only sold candles, but now we sell everything from designer furniture to paintings. Oh, and candles, of course.
99. How many furniture stores does Kyra Komac have now?
______________________________________________________________
100. Where did Kyra’s mother sell flowers?
______________________________________________________________
101. What did Kyra do in her free time when she was fourteen?

103. Who helped Kyra and her mum when they couldn’t make enough candles during the week? ______________________________________________________________
104. How did Kyra’s uncle help her to open her first shop?
He helped her ___________________________________________________
105. What do you think of this story?
I think _________________________________________________________

Daily News
A 14-year-old boy from the USA was descried as a hero yesterday after he saved the life of a woman in another country.
Dean Bluey from Dallas, Texas, was a school boy who was interested in computer. One day, he was sending an e-mail to a friend on the Internet. Suddenly he received a message saying “Help! Help! Help!” The message was from Finland, (芬兰) thousands of kilometers way from the USA.
“I didn’t know what I should do, “ Dean said to a reporter afterwards. “It was really difficult to tell if the message was real.” So Dean did nothing at first. But the message kept coming.
“By then it was easy to see that someone was in trouble,” Dean explained. He replied and discovered that the sender was a 20-year-old student called Tarja, who was alone in a university library. She was very ill. What was worse, there was no phone around her. Her only way of communicating with the world was by e-mail.
Dean got in touch with the Texas police. The police immediately realized that the situation was quite serious. They found it necessary to telephone the police in Finland. Then an ambulance rushed to the university, and soon doctors found Tarja. Luckily, she was still alive and was quickly sent to the hospital. “I’m glad she’s OK,” Dean said. “It’s hard to believe, but e-mail saved her life.”

Have you ever had an embarrassing (尴尬) experience? Last week we asked readers to tell us about embarrassing experiences. We received thousands of letters! Here is a selection.
Tony:
My most embarrassing experience happened when I had just left university. I had just started teaching in a Liverpool secondary school. One morning my alarm clock didn’t ring. I woke up at half past eight and school began at nine. I quickly washed, dressed, jumped into my car and rushed to school. When I arrived, the students had already gone into class. I didn’t go to the office, but went straight into class. After two or three minutes the students began laughing, and I couldn’t understand why! Suddenly I looked down and understood. I had put on one black shoe and one brown shoe!
Henry:
The most embarrassing experience I’ve ever had, happened two years ago. After seeing a film, my wife and I had lunch in our favorite restaurant in town. Then we decided to take a walk along the street. The street was very busy and we started looking at some watches in the new window. After a minute or two I reached for my wife’s hand. There was a loud scream, and a woman slapped my face. I hadn’t taken my wife’s hand. I’d taken the hand of a complete stranger!
James:
My wife and I had decided to buy a new house, and I’d made an appointment to see our bank manager. I’d never met him before and I was a bit nervous. I went into town in my car and I was lucky enough to find a parking space outside the bank. I’d just started reversing (倒车) into the space when another car made its way into it. I was irritated! I opened my window and shouted at the man in the car. He ignored me and walked away. It took me twenty minutes to find another space. As soon as I had parked the car, I rushed back to the bank. I was ten minutes late for my appointment. I went to the manager’s office, knocked and walked in. The manager was sitting behind his desk. He was the man who had taken my parking space!

Kyra Komac, 28 years old, now has 25 furniture stores all over the country. The new store, in London’s Camden High Street, takes her back to where it all started. She tells us about how the business began. W hen I was little, my mother began selling flowers in Camden Market. She couldn’t leave me at home on my own, so I had to go to the market with her.
To begin with, I didn’t have to do anything. I just sat there, and my mum told me jokes and stories so I did n’t get bored. When I got older, I gave my mum a hand and I really enjoyed it.
Then, one year, my grandma gave me a book for Christmas. It was all about making candles and I loved it. I was 14, and I didn’t have to go to the market any more because mum could leave me at home on my own. I spent my free time making candles of all shapes and sizes. I made hundreds of them.
One day, my mother was ill so I had to go to the market on my own. I decided to take some candles with me and see if I could sell them. They were sold out in twenty minutes! The next week, my mum gave some money to buy some wax (蜡) to make more candles. They sold out really quickly, too.
Nine months later, we decided to stop selling flowers. My mum and I couldn’t make enough candles during the week, so some of my school friends started to help us. I paid them one pound for every candle, and we used to sell them for three or four times that. It was fun and my friends worked with me in the market.
At the age of 22, my uncle lent me some money and I opened my first shop in Portobello Road. Since then, I’ve never looked back, even in difficulties. In the first store, we only sold candles, but now we sell everything from designer furniture to paintings. Oh, and candles, of course.
