Larry works with Transport Drivers. Inc. One morning in 2009, Larry was 1 along 165 north when he saw a car with its bright lights on. As he 2 near, he found 3 vehicle upside down on the road. One more look and he noticed 4 shooting out from under the 5 vehicle. Larry pulled over, set the brake and 6 the fire extinguisher (灭火器). Two good bursts from the extinguisher and the fire was put out.
The man who had his bright lights on 7 and told Larry he had 8 an emergency call. They 9 heard a woman’s voice coming from the wrecked (毁坏的) vehicle. 10 the vehicle, they saw that a woman was trying to get out of the broken window. They told her to stay 11 until the emergency personnel arrived, but she thought the car was going to 12 . Larry told her that he had already put out the fire and she should not move 13 she injured her neck.
Then fire and emergency people arrived, they let him and the other man go. One thing is 14 — Larry went above and beyond the call of duty by getting so close to the burning vehicle! His 15 most likely saved the woman’s life.

In southern Portugal, scientists from the University of Edinburgh have recently found some fossil (化石) remains of a 16 (previous) unknown species (物种) of a crocodile-like “super salamander”.
The species could grow up to six feet in 17 (long). It lived in lakes and rivers. It was part of a wider group of primitive amphibians (两栖动物) 18 were widespread at the time but died out in the end. They are the ancestors of modem amphibians such as frogs. They are believed by scientists to 19 (live) at the same time the dinosaurs began their rule.
Steve Brusatte led the study. He said the new species had 20 (hundred) of sharp teeth. It looks somehow “strange” 21 (compare) to anything today.
Feeding mainly 22 fish, it was at the top of the food chain. But it’s also 23 danger for newly appeared dinosaurs and mammals that moved too near the water.
The team says the finding confirms that this group of amphibians lived in a 24 (diverse) geographic area than had been thought.
The dig began in 2009 and took several years. The “super salamander” bones 25 (discover) in a half-meter thick layer of rock in a hillside. The team hopes to raise funds to continue exploring the site.
If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds, see through walls, or have superhuman strength may sound silly, but it actually gets to the heart of what really matters in your life.
Every day in our work, we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary things to improve the world.
They have a different kind of superpower that all of us possess: the power to make a difference in the lives of others.
We’re not saying that everyone needs to contribute their lives to the poor. Your lives are busy enough doing homework, playing sports, making friends, seeking after your dreams. But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself. Find an issue you are interested in and learn more. Volunteer or, if you can, contribute a little money to a cause. Whatever you do, don’t be a bystander. Get involved. You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when you’re older. But why not start now?
Our own experience working together on health, development, and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives. It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead.
