The sound that woke Damian Languell at 8
:
15 in the morning was so loud he assumed it came from
inside his house in Wade
,
Maine
.
As he got up to investigate
,
he heard another sound
,
this one coming
most definitely from outside
.
Looking out of his bedroom window
,
he noticed a tree enveloped in smoke
about 500 yards away
.
A car wrapped around the tree
’
s base
,
its engine on fire
.
Grabbing buckets of water
,
he and his wife ran to the crash site
.
Up close
,
the accident looked
worse
.
The car was split nearly in two
,
and the tree was where the driver's seat ought to have been
,
as if
planted there
.
No one should have survived this crash
,
and yet there was 20-year-old Quintin Thompson
,
his terrified face pressed against the driver's side window
,
in visible pain
.
Languell tried putting out the fire with his buckets of water but failed
.
When the flames got into the
front
seats
,
he
knew
he
had
to
get
the
young
man
out
.
So
Languell
opened
the
car's
back
door
and
climbed in
.
Using a pocket knife he
’
d brought with him
.
he cut through Thompson
’
s seat belt
.
Now
that Thompson was free
,
Languell pulled him out
,
and dragged him to safety before the entire car was in
flames
.
It is empathy that drove Languell to help
,
just as he said
,
“
My heart goes out to Thompson
.
When
you are that close to that level of hurt
,
you feel it so directly
.
”
For his heroic action
,
Languell was added
to the list of real-life heroes changing the world
.

Coral reefs(
珊瑚礁
)are an integral part of sea life and sustain it by providing shelter and habitat to
various organisms
.
They also supply and recycle nutrients as well as enable a growing fish population
,
along
with
other
species
,
for
a
healthy
and
diverse
ecosystem
.
However
,
the
rise
in
average
water
temperatures due to climate change has resulted in more frequent and longtime
“
coral bleaching(
白化现
象
)
”
events that damage their health
,
causing fish and other sea species to abandon them
.
In order to restore this delicate ecosystem
,
scientists from the UK and Australia conducted a study
that involved using loudspeakers underwater near damaged coral reefs to make them sound healthy and
attract fish
,
potentially kick-starting the natural recovery process of coral reefs and their dependent life
forms
.
The location for this experiment was the Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea
,
found alongside the
east coast of Queensland
,
Australia
.
The site is noted to have the largest coral reef system in the world
.
“
Healthy
coral
reefs
are
remarkably
noisy
places
—
the
crackle
of
snapping
shrimp
and
the
whoops and grunts of fish
.
Young fish concentrate on these sounds when they
’
re looking for a place to
settle
,
”
said Steve Simpson
,
study co-author and a professor at the University of Exeter
,
UK
.
By using loudspeakers to copy such sounds
,
parts of dead coral reefs were found to attract twice
3
as many fish
,
compared to places where no sounds were played
.
“
These returning fish
,
are crucial for
coral
reefs
to
function
as
healthy
ecosystems
.
Boosting
fish
populations
in
this
way
could
help
to
kick-start natural recovery processes
,
preventing the damage we
’
re seeing on many coral reefs around
the world
,

As we reflect on the evolution of fitness over the centuries
,
and the emergence of a well

organized

it is well to ask ourselves

what have we lost

and what have
we gained?

much good has come out of these recent developments
