A Heroic Woman

The whole of the United States cheered its latest hero,Ashley Smith,with the Federal Bureau of lnvestigation saying it was planning to give a big reward to her for having a brave heart and wise mind.

（46）She was moving into her apartment in Atlanta,Georgia early on the morning of March 12,when a man followed her to her door and put a gun to her side.“I started walking to my door,and I felt really,really afraid,”she said in a TV interview last week.The man was Brian Nichols,33.He was suspected of killing three people at an Atlanta courthouse(法院)on March 11 and later of killing a federal agent.（47）

Nichols tied Smith up with tape,but released her after she repeatedly begged him not to take her life.“I told him if he hurt me,my little girl wouldn’t have a mummy,”she  said.In order to calm the man down,she read to him from“The Purpose-Driven Life”,a best-selling religious book.He asked her to repeat a paragraph“about what you thought your purpose in life was-what talents were you given.”（48）

“I basically just talked to him and tried to gain his trust,”Smith said.

Smith said she asked Nichols why he chose her.“He said he thought I was an angel sent from God,and we were Christian sister and brogher,”she said.“And that he was lost,and that God led him to me to tell him that he had hurt a lot of peopole.”（49）She said Nichols was surprised when she made him breakfast and that the two of them watched television coverage(报道)of the police hunt for him.“I cannot believe that’s me,”Nichols told the woman.Then,Nichols asked Smith what she thought he should do.She said,“I think you should turn yourself in.If you don’t,lots more people are going to get hurt.”

Eventually,he let her go.（50）A US$60,000 reward had been posted for Nichols’ capture.Authorities said they did not yet know if Smith would be eligible(有资格的)for that money.

DShe even cooked breakfast for the man before he allowed her to leave.

Walk a Quarter-Mile or Die

If you can walk a quarter-mile,odds(可能性)are you have at least six years of life left in you,scientists say.And the faster you can（51）it,the longer you might live.

While walking is no guarantee of（52）or longevity(长寿),a new study found that the ability of elderly people to do the quarter-mile was an“important determinant(决定因素)”in whether or not they’d be（53）six years later and how much illness and disability they would endure.

“The（54）to complete this walk was a powerful predictor of health outcomes,”said study leader Anne Newman of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.“In fact,we（55）that the people who could not complete the walk were（56）an extremely high risk of later disability and death.”

Newman and colleagues recruited nearly 2,700 white and African-American men and women aged 70 to 79 to（57）the walk.All the participants were screened and  determined to be in relatively（58）health,and they had all said they had previously walked that far with no（59）.Only 86 percent of them finished,（60）.

The scientists then monitored the health and mortality of all（61）for the next six years.“There was a big gap in health outcomes（62）people who could complete the longer walk and people who could not,with the latter being at an extremely high（63）of becoming disabled or dying,”Newman said.“What was really surprising is that these people were not（64）of how weak they actually were.”

Finishing times were found to be crucial,too.Those who completed the walk but were among the slowest 25 percent（65）three times greater risk of death than the speedier folks.
