10、t a better look. “First, we threw a rock onto the ice to test it,” Cruz told NBC 5 Chicago. “Then we stepped on it.” Convinced the ice would hold their weight, Anthony took a few steps, but then he fell through the seemingly frozen surface. Cruz rushed to help his panicked friend. However, the pond

11、swallowed him, too. Cruz managed to lift himself out of the extremely cold water and onto a more solid section. He then gingerly worked his way toward Anthony.

12、 feeling. Any chance of their freeing themselves was slipping away. Cruz was sure that he was going to die. Anthonys older sister had seen the boys fall through the ice and started screaming, wishing someone to save them. John Lavin, a neighbor driving nearby on his way to the grocery store, heard h

13、er. He quickly pulled over. Seeing the boys, he grabbed a nearby lifebuoy(救生圈), kicked off his shoes, and ran into the cold water, struggling his way through the ice.

Peop

19、le who visit the coast at least twice a week tend to experience better general and mental health as well. So how does “blue space” make us feel better?

20、ople who get more sun tend to be happier than those who do not. Theres also the air above the sea. After spending time near the ocean, you might find that you feel more relaxed than usual.

25、s the world need more universities? The answer feels like it should be yes. Education is good, isnt it? But everything has a cost. Education takes time. We could insist that everyone study full-time until the age of 45 but that would surely be too much. And perhaps half the population studying until
