1．It was a cold March day in High Point，North Carolina．The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice，stamping their feet to say warm．Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered（发抖）a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play．The two didn't know each other well-Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before．
Suddenly，Paris fell to the ground，"Paris's eyes rolled back，"Taylor says．"She stated shaking．I knew it was an emergency．"
It certainly was，Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure．Without immediate medical care，Paris would die．At first，no one moved．The girls were in shock．Then the softball coach shouted out，"Does anyone know CPR？"
CPR is a life-saving technique．To do CPR，you press on the sick person's chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs．Without oxygen the brain is damaging quickly．
Amazingly，Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before．Still，she hesitated．She didn't think she knew it well enough．But when no one else came forward，Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR．"It was scary．I knew it was the difference between life and death，"says Taylor．
Taylor's swift action helped her teammates calm down．One girl called 911．Two more ran to get the school nurse，who brought a defibrillator，an electronic devices（器械）that can shock the heart back into work．Luck stayed with them：Paris'heartbeat returned．
"I know I was really lucky，"Paris says now．"Most people don't survive this．My team saved my life．"
Experts say Paris is right：For a sudden heart failure，the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly．
Today，Paris is back on the softball team．Taylor will apply to college soon．She wants to be a nurse．"I feel more confident in my actions now，"Taylor says．"I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation．"

2．Reading can be a social activity．Think of the people who belong to book groups．They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them．Now，the website BookCrossing.jye.ai turns the page on the traditional ides of a book group．
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share．BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book．Then the person leaves it in a public place，hoping that the book will have an adventure，traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it．
Bruce Pederson，the managing director of BookCrossing，says，"The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read．BookCrossing combines both．"
Members leave books on park benches and buses，in train stations and coffee shops．Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it．
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it．E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found．Bruce Peterson says the ides is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home．
