| A newly-wed couple on a four-month honeymoon were hit by six natural disasters, including the Australian floods, Christchurch earthquake and Japanese tsunami. Stefan and Erika Svanstrom left Stockholm, Sweden, on December 6 and were immediately stranded in Munich, Germany, due to one of Europe's worst snowstorms. Stefan Svanstrom and Erika Svanstrom. Travelling with their baby daughter, they flew on to Cairns in Australia which was then struck by one of the most tremendous cyclones (龙卷风) in the nation's history. From there, the couple, in their 20s, were forced to shelter for 24 hours on the cement floor of a shopping centre with 2,500 others. "Trees were being knocked over and big branches were scattered across the streets," Mr Svanstrom told Sweden's Express newspaper. "We escaped by the skin of our teeth," said Svanstrom. They then headed south to Brisbane but the city was experiencing massive flooding, so they crossed the country to Perth where they narrowly escaped raging bush fires. The couple then flew to Christchurch, New Zealand, arriving just after a massive magnitude 6.3 earthquake destroyed the city on February 22. Mrs. Svanstrom said, "When we got there the whole town was a war zone." "We could not visit the city since it was completely blocked off, so instead we travelled around before going to Japan." But days after the Svanstroms arrived, Tokyo was rocked by Japan's largest earthquake since records began. "The trembling was horrible and we saw roof tiles fly off the buildings," Mr. Svantrom said. "It was like the buildings were swaying back and forth." The family returned to Stockholm on March 29 after a much calmer visit to their last destination China. But Mr. Svanstrom, who also survived the destructive Boxing Day tsunami that hit southeast Asia in 2004, said the marriage was still going strong. He added, "I know marriages have to endure some trials, but I think we have been through most of them." "We've certainly experienced more than our fair share of catastrophes, but the most important thing is that we're together and happy." |

| Neighborhoods aren't like they used to be. Sometimes neighbors are complete strangers, even after years of living yards away. Believe it or not, neighborhoods were once tight-knit communities full of supportive, friendly and familiar faces. Can they be that way again? You don't have to be an experienced social director to build bonds in your neighborhood. If you're not happy with the social dynamic in your community, start making a change today. The term "social life" has taken on new meaning, especially for our kids. What was once defined as actual interaction (e.g. face-to-face) now often refers to the number of Facebook friends or Twitter followers we can collect. Our social lives have essentially turned inside out, with the focus now being on cyber-space rather than on reality. "Children play indoors instead of out; most don't even take walks through their streets anymore," says Jaymes Ian Woode, a relationship counselor. "Moat have grown accustomed to living without meaningful friendships." Change has to start somewhere, and most neighborhoods don't have an official party planner. “To create change in neighborhoods, it often only takes one person who is willing to reach out," says Woode. "One person can knock on a neighbor's door and find those who also want to open up. As most salespeople know, after enough knocks, you are bound to make a sale." Yes, it takes courage and you'll probably have to overcome some skepticism (怀疑) towards your friendly attitude, but it will be worth it when you actually learn the names of the people who live around you. Susanne Alexander, a relationship coach, recounts some of the ways she has successfully connected with her neighbors in recent years. "I feel safer and less isolated knowing that I have at least some connection to the people who live near me," she says. Perhaps her experience will inspire you: * Meet neighbors at civic (市民的) events or start an in-home spiritual group. * Connect over yard advice or repairs that need cooperation. * Exchange numbers with elderly neighbors in case of an emergency. * Bring the Sunday comics over to cheer up a neighbor going through a hard time. |

| In a national spelling contest in America, an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her soft voice the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E. 1 By now, the girl knew she had misspelled the word. But instead of lying and telling the judges she had said the correct letter, she told the truth that she had said the wrong letter. 2 As the girl walked off the stage, the entire audience stood on their feet clapping to applaud her honesty. Later, dozens of newspaper reporters wrote about this 11-year-old girl's courage and honesty, even when it cost her the contest. 3 Probably the biggest test of our character and honesty is what we would do if we knew we would never get caught. This young girl could easily have lied, and nobody would have known it but her. But that's just it: She would know she did wrong. 4 This young girl was strong and smart enough to prize her own conscience and character more than the prize from a spelling contest. Her respect for herself was more important than any respect others might give her for winning a contest. She knew she would have to live with herself and the choice she made at the moment. 5 . |
| A. So she won the contest. B. As a result, she lost the contest. C. The judges wanted to give her another chance. D. It's been said, "If you cheat, you make yourself cheap." E. It's so true that the choices you make today make what you are tomorrow. F. They talked it over and finally decided to simply ask her what she had said. G. But the fact is that she won the biggest contest that day: the contest of her character. |
