Giving Back
Fair Way
The Westborough High School golf team had taken the official photos with the state prize. The other teams, disappointed, were on the bus heading home. And then Westborough instructor Greg Rota noticed something wrong on one of the score cards. A 9 had been recorded as a 7. They were not the state prize winner; Woburn High had won. “No one would have known.” said Woburn’s instructor, Bob Doran. For Rota, it wasn’t a difficult decision: “The prize wasn’t ours to take.”
Coin Stars
“College students are lazy, but they also want to help,” says University of Pennsylvania graduate Dana Hork. So she made it easy, placing cups in rooms where students could leave their spare coins, and handing out cups to first-year students to keep in their rooms. Her “Change for Change” effort has collected $ 40,000 for charities (慈善机构), which were decided upon by students.

I’d meant to go to Miros that day. I’d packed my bag and was ready. The motor-boat ? ? in on time. The sky was cloudy, but the wind wasn’t too strong for the two-hour ? ? ?? . I stood at my window, staring at the boat. Then I lost ? ? ? of her, an old light-house partly blocked my view of the harbor. A dozen passengers were? ? ? ?? ? their way there. I was about to join them --- when a man’s face? ?? ? ?? at the light-house window.
This was strange, because the light-house had been empty, unused and ? ? ?? for thirty years. It was stranger still --- because I’d seen that ? ? ? before. I couldn’t place it but it was, or had once been, familiar to me. I opened my window and ? ? ? across. “I know we’ve met before, but I can’t remember where.”
I ? ? ? him to open his if he could and answer me. He did neither. The face behind the glass ? ? ? motionless (静止). Seeing him more clearly now, I knew he was not looking at me. He seemed to be looking upwards, ? ? ? the clouds. How well I’d known that face, sometime, somewhere!
I ? ? ?? again. “We met years ago. Was it in Athens in the 1950s? I used to live in Plaka.”
He didn’t reply nor give any ?? ? ? that he’d heard. I went back further, to ? ? ?? I was in the navy. “Perhaps we met at sea during the war,” and that thought at once ?? ? ? him to mind. Commander Leftis! He was Commander Leftis of course! How could I have forgotten? I’d saved his life once. But surely he …
The motor-boat ? ? ? her bell. I turned my eyes. The wind had risen, but she was pulling ? ?? . Laughing, I called, “Now I’ve missed her, and it’s your ?? ? ? , Commander!”
As the boat drew away, the face at the window faded. ? ? ? minute it was there. Looking up, I could see the whites of the eyes. The ? ? minute it was gone.
Well, I didn’t rush to the light-house. I knew that Leftis was dead. He died at sea in 1963 or 1964. But there’s one other thing I ought to tell you: the motor-boat never reached Miros. It was lost in a storm, with all the passengers.
