【題目】 On a steamy July day in Bayonet Point, Florida, Gene Work and his brother-in-law, Mark Rouco, were renewing Gene’s lawn. It had grown brown and patchy in the heat, and the homeowners’ association had threatened to heavily fine him if the situation wasn’t improved. The new sod (草皮) was sitting in the driveway on four pallets, but the job was slow-going. Gene, then 40, wasn’t feeling right. He went inside to take a break and collapsed on the couch, clutching his chest. His wife, Melissa Work, called 911 quickly.
Even though he was staring down death. Gene had one thing on his mind: that lawn If the sod wasn’t put down that day, it would die. “While he was having his heart attack, literally in and out of consciousness, he kept begging me to have it put down because he didn’t want it to go to waste,” Melissa wrote in a Facebook post.
Soon Pasco County Fire Rescue arrived and took Gene and Melissa to the hospital, leaving Rouco behind to tackle the yard. Within an hour, he had managed to remove the old grass. He was about to lay the new sod, which he feared would take him well into the night, when two emergency vehicles appeared. Seven men--the same ones who had treated his brother--got out. Gene had told them how badly he’d wanted to get the sod down, so they had returned to help. The job was done in under two hours.
Meanwhile, Gene had surgery to insert stents (支架) in his heart, alleviating a potentially deadly blockage. He’s home now, fully recovered--and enjoying his beautiful lawn.
The Works are still amazed that those EMTs (Emergency medical technician) went above and beyond their job description. “These men,” Melissa told tampabay. com, “saved Gene’s life, and then came back to save his grass. That’s just so awesome.”

The Origin of New Year’s Resolutions
Happy New Year! For many in the UK, if the New Year means anything, it means 【1】 (turn) over new leaf. And to do this, many of us make New Year’s resolutions-a list of ways 【2】 we intend to improve ourselves in the year ahead. We reflect on our past mistakes and make up our minds not to do them again. 【3】 (give) up smoking is ever popular, as is a promise to take up more exercise or spend more time with family.
But have you ever wondered when the idea of a New Year’s resolution comes from? The answer might lie in ancient Babylonia, according to History. com. The Babylonians 【4】 (believe) to be the first to hold recorded celebrations for the New Year. The 12 day-long celebration, 【5】 (name) Akitu, allowed them not only 【6】 (show) their loyalty to the King, but also to appeal to the gods to pay their debts and return the borrowed objects.
The ancient Romans too had similar traditions. New Year’s Day was a time 【7】 all government officers would take an oath(發(fā)誓) that they 【8】 obey the laws and support the city leader. Incidentally, the month of January is named after the Roman god Janus. He is the god of beginnings, transitions and time, among other things and is described as having two faces-one looking to the past and 【9】 facing forward to the future.
Whether you’re looking at a quick behavioral change 【10】 a huge personality checkup, you’re taking part in a tradition that goes back centuries. I wish you all the best sticking to your resolutions. Happy New Year!
