Its the motto of the Marine Corps, which is a segment of the US Navy. The Marines do whatever the federal government tells them to do

2、, and the government always talks about how important the Marines are and how grateful the government is. So when a former marine, James Reid, recently applied for a Purple Heart for a wound that he received while serving in the Korean War more than 50 years ago, he expected no problems. But a Navy

3、official said that they had no more Purple Hearts. If Reid wanted one, he could buy it at a military supply store. “Theyre only $42,” said Arthur Chertoff. “Its not exactly like buying a new car.”However, the 75-year-old Reid subsists on a military pension that barely covers his rent. His daughter a

4、nd son send him money for food, transportation, and other expenses. “Well, then, let your kids pay for it,” Chertoff said when Reid told him that he depended on his kids for living expenses. So Reid asked his son for $42 for the medal. His son got so upset about the ungratefulness of the Navy that h

5、e called the local newspaper.The local newspaper printed a front page article about how the Navy couldnt be bothered to pay for and present Reid his Purple Heart 50 years after his injury. work television news picked up the story. The Navy, of course, was immediately embarrassed. Somehow, officials

6、found the money and the time to buy Reid his Purple Heart and even make a ceremonial presentation.“We are always eager and happy to show that we take care of our own,” said the broadly smiling Chertoff as he presented Reid the medal in front of TV news cameras. “Thank you so much for your service to

In the old days, fairs and carnivals usually had a “Test Your Strength” contest that required a player to swing a small sledge hammer as hard as he could t

8、o ring a bell and get a prize. The Japanese invention also challenges a players strength. Players can set it to four different levels: Baby, Girl, Man, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.The mechanical arm operates at half-strength for the first 10 seconds: “Baby,” for exle, would be “Half-Baby,” or 50-perce

9、nt full-strength, for 10 seconds initially.“This gives the human time to evaluate his mechanical opponent, and usually allows him to win,” says the inventor. But after 10 seconds elapse, the mechanical arm instantly achieves full strength, so that weak Baby suddenly bees strong Baby. “That es as a s

10、urprise to the human,” said the inventor. “If you watch the human pete, you will see a look of surprise e over his face at the machines sudden burst of strength. Its funny to see!”Unfortunately for some players, the look of surprise is followed by the look of pain, as the steel and plastic arm break

11、s their flesh and blood arm! Two players recently went to the hospital. The inventor said that he wouldnt put a warning sign on the machine.“Its not the machines fault,” he said. “Humans often think that theyre smarter, faster, and stronger than they actually are. I think its a good lesson that they

12、 are learning. Many refuse to bat the machine at the Baby or Girl level because they think that theyre equal to the Man or Arnold level. They dont know their limitations. Theyre proud and foolish, and some of them have to pay the price for their pride.”四年级少儿英语故事篇三 Pluto Chases KidVisitors to Disneyl

13、and in southern California see lots of life-sized cartoon characters, such as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Pluto the Dog. Most parents take their small kids right up to these characters. If the child doesn't start bawling because he or she is afraid of the cartoon character, the parents will t

14、ake snapshots or videos of their kid with Snow White, Grumpy, Goofy, or others. Often the camera will be rolling even when the child looks afraid or is crying.Last week, Eva Gunderson took her 7-year-old son Billy Bob to Disneyland. Pluto was the first character they met once they got inside. Eva as

15、ked Billy Bob if he wanted a picture with Pluto. Billy Bob said no. He said Plutos tail was too skinny and his nose was too big. Eva told him to go ahead, please, just so she could show daddy. Billy Bob reluctantly agreed.He went over to Pluto and sat on his lap. Eva said, “Say cheese!” and both Bil

16、ly Bob and Pluto said the magic word. Then, as Billy Bob got off Plutos lap, he grabbed Plutos round black plastic nose and ripped it off Plutos costume. Pluto yelled “Ouch!” (even though it didnt hurt). Billy Bob started running, and Pluto started chasing him. Just as Pluto got close enough to grab

17、 him, Billy Bob kicked Pluto between his legs. Pluto fell to the ground, groaning. This time he really was in pain.Eva got it all on video cam. “That was great, honey!” she told her son as they walked off to find more characters. “Wait till daddy sees this. Hell be so proud of you!”看了“四年级少儿英语故事”的人【END】第 7 页 共 7 页
