Casey and John, a young married couple, were driving from Maryland to North Carolina when their 36-hour nightmare began. They expected the road trip to last five hours, but a massive snowstorm led to ice-related accidents, and the state closed a 50-mile stretch of the highway for safety reasons.
With traffic stopped and no clear information on when the highway would reopen, some drivers abandoned their vehicles and set out on foot. Others, like Casey and Joe, turned off the engine to save gas and seated themselves in their cars. They tried their best to stay warm.
By the following day, a cold night in hunger and little sleep left them feeling tired and with little strength or energy. After 21 hours of suffering, Casey noticed a bread delivery truck among the waiting vehicles. On a sudden inspiration, she called Schmidt Baking Company, the owner of the truck. She left a message on the company's customer service line, asking if the truck driver could share the baked goods with troubled drivers. She didn't know if they would take her request seriously, but she wanted to try.
Her idea worked. Unbelievably, Schmidt CEO Chuck personally returned Casey's call within 20 minutes. He asked her to hand her phone to the company truck driver, Ron, and then directed Ron to hand out the bread to the people on the highway. Chuck said he was proud to offer any help he could.
Casey, John and Ron were excited to pass out the bread along the icy highway to as many people as possible. Among those to receive the food were elderly passengers and families with children and pets. They all felt extremely thankful for the offering of food and some relief after waiting for hours in the cold.

If you want to take good care of your eyes and vision, I encourage you to adopt the habit of blinking (眨眼( softly as often as possible. Frequent and gentle blinking is important to maintain healthy eyes and good vision because it helps to keep your eyes coated with three beneficial layers (层) of tears.
The first layer of tears lies right up against the whites of your eyes, and provides an even coat of protein-rich moisture (水分) for the second layer to stick to. The middle watery layer helps to wash away foreign dust. It also provides your eyes with minerals, a variety of proteins, and moisture. The third outer layer of tears is somewhat oily. It serves to prevent the middle watery layer from drying quickly, and smooths your eyes.
If your eyes are not regularly coated with the three layers of tears described above, they will be short of moisture and cleaning, and they will be unnecessarily tired.
One of the reasons why many of us don't blink as often as we should is that we don't see frequent blinking in mainstream media. Actors and news presenters are typically trained to blink as infrequently as possible, so when we take in most forms of media, our minds learn that it isn't normal to blink frequently.
To fully support your eyes and vision, it's best to blink softly every two to four seconds, which translates to about fifteen to thirty blinks per minute. By making an effort to softly blink at this rate, over time, your body will turn your efforts into a habit. If you're thinking that such frequent blinking will make reading a book or viewing a movie uncomfortable, give it a try and you II see right away that it doesn't t take away from these experiences at all.

Last Sunday my younger sister and I went for a picnic, which made deep impression on me. It was sun when we reached our destination-a park that is two miles away from their house. We put the mat on the floor and lay out all the food we had prepared that morning. However, we were about to begin enjoying our food while it started to rain. As there had no shelter around us, so we had to pack up immediately and ride home as fast as we could. What a terribly experience! Next time, I will checked out the weather forecast before carried out an outside activity.
