A ten-year-old boy from Howell, Michigan is being praised as a hero thanks to his persistence that led to saving the life of an elderly neighbor. The event happened late in an evening when Danny Dipietro was being driven home from hockey practice by his mom.
That' s when the young boy noticed an open garage and a figure that he believed was a dog outside an apartment building near his house, Given the freezing cold weather. the young boy got a feeling that something was not right.

Last night I saw a TV documentary about the 1976 Tangshan earth quake in China. I noticed one thing that is common with most natural disasters. The killer disasters come either early in the morning or late at night, when people are either resting or preparing to rest and, unfortunately, when people are least attentive to warning signs. The Tangshan disaster struck early in the morning when the people were still sleeping.
Many people died in their sleep. Miners were trapped deep below the earth. Some died. Survivors waited in the dark. They hoped that rescuers would come and pull them out. It is a horrible thing to be in a situation where you can do nothing to save yourself.
It seems that, Mather Nature has always attacked us as if she were afraid that we would fight back. Otherwise why would she come only as a thief? I have a story to tell you, This one happened in August 1986 in the villages near Lake Nyos in Cameroons northwest province. Large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2)gas had been collecting at the bottom of the lake. It was clear that nobody knew about the gas or about how dangerous it was. Suddenly, before dawn on August 26, 1986, a large quantity of gas was released (gave off) from the lake. CO2 is heavier than air, so it spread out over the nearby villages. The blanket of CO2 floated for 25 kilometres. Many people died in their sleep from lack of oxygen(O2). Before sunrise, more than 1, 700 people had lost their lives. And thousands of animals were also killed by the gas. At first scientists believed that the gas was caused by an earthquake or a volcano. However, further studies proved that there had been no volcanic activity. Nobody is very certain how such a large amount of gas was released from the lake. Scientists from the USA, the EU, Japan and Cameroon have been studying the lake for the past twenty years. Yet they still have not found an answer. Well, Jun, let me leave Mother Nature and her timid(胆小的) way of attacking us. I need to run out for some noodles at a nearby Chinese restaurant. Take good care of yourself.
Theresa 27. What were most people doing when the Tangshan earthquake happened? A. They were sleeping B. They were watching TV.
C. They were preparing to rest. D. They were mining below the earth 28. What caused so many people to die near Lake Nyos?
