Winter is near at hand. On his bench in Madison Square, Soapy moved uneasily.
A dead leaf fell in Soapy’s lap. Soapy’s mind became aware that the time had come for him to resolve himself into a singular Committee of ways and means to provide against the coming rigour(严寒).
The winter ambitions of Soapy were not of the highest. For years the hospitable Blackwell’s Prison had been his winter quarters. On the previous night three newspapers, distributed beneath his coat, about his ankles and over his lap, had failed to fight the cold as he slept on his bench in the ancient square. So the Island appeared large and timely in Soapy’s mind. Determined to go to the Island, Soapy immediately set about accomplishing his desire. There were many easy ways of doing this. The pleasantest was to dine luxuriously at some expensive restaurant, and then after declaring to be penniless, be handed over quietly to a policeman. A helpful judge would do the rest.Soapy left his bench and wandered out of the square. Up Broadway he turned, and stopped at a glittering café. but the head waiter’s eye fell upon his ragged trousers and shoes. Strong and ready hands turned him about and conveyed him in silence and haste to the sidewalk.
At a corner of Sixth Avenue electric lights, Soapy took a cobble-stone and dashed it through the glass. People came running round the corner, a policeman in the lead. Soapy stood still, with his hands in his pockets, waiting to be taken away. But the policeman’s mind refused to accept Soapy even as a clue.
On the opposite side of the street was a small restaurant. At a table Soapy sat and consumed beefsteak, flap-jacks, and pie. And then to the waiter he betrayed the fact that the minutest coin and himself were strangers.
“Now, get busy and call a cop,” said Soapy. To his disappointment, neatly upon his left ear on the hard pavement, two waiters pitched Soapy. He struggled to his feet and beat the dust from his clothes. Arrest seemed but a rosy dream. The Island seemed very far away.
Five blocks Soapy travelled before his courage permitted him to run after capture again. A young woman of a modest and pleasing dress was standing before a show window gazing with shining interest at its display, and two yards from the window a large policeman leaned against a water-plug.
Soapy sidled toward the young woman, causing her to move away a few steps. With half an eye he saw the policeman was watching him fixedly. Soapy bravely stepped to the woman’s side, raised his hat and said: “Ah, Bedelia! Don’t you want to come and play in my yard?”
“Sure, Mike,” she said joyfully, “if you’ll buy me some beers. I’d have spoken to you sooner, but the cop was watching.”
The young woman then became attached to him. At the next corner he shook off his companion and ran.
On the sidewalk Soapy began to yell drunken gibberish(胡言乱语) at the top of his harsh voice. He danced, howled, and otherwise disturbed the peace. A policeman turned his back to Soapy and explained to a citizen, “This is one of the Yale guys celebrating the goose egg they give to the Hartford College. Noisy, but no harm.” Depressed, Soapy paused his seemingly useless roaring. Would never a policeman lay hands on him? In his fancy the Island seemed an unreachable Arcadia(世外桃源).
In a cigar store he saw a well-dressed man lighting a cigar at a swinging light. His silk umbrella he had set by the door on entering. Soapy stepped inside, secured the umbrella and went off with it slowly. The man at the cigar light followed hurriedly.
“My umbrella,” he said severely. “Oh, is it?” sneered Soapy, “Well, why don’t you call a policeman? There stands one on the corner.”“ Well,”said the umbrella man, “You know how these mistakes occur. I, I, if it’s your umbrella, I hope you’ll excuse me. I picked it up this morning in a restaurant. If you recognise it as yours, I hope you’ll…” “Of course it’s mine,” said Soapy evilly.
Soapy walked eastward through a street. He threw the umbrella angrily into a dustbin. He complained about the cop. He wanted to be thrown into the Blackwell’s, but they seemed to regard him as a king who could do no wrong.

Few women choose academic careers in math-intensive fields because the lifestyle is not consistent with motherhood, researchers at Cornell University found in a study to be published next month in American Scientist Magazine.
Universities have long been criticized for hiring and evaluation policies that discriminate against women, but the findings of this new study point to the female biological clock as a main reason why so few women end up as professors in fields such as math, engineering, physics and computer science.
A woman who wants a family looks at the tough path to a tenured(终身的)position and considers how old she will be before she can start a family and how little time she will have to raise her children. Many of those women choose a more flexible career.
"Universities have been largely inflexible about anything other than the standard timetable, which means you'll have to struggle for years and only then would you consider getting pregnant,” said Wendy Williams, a human development professor at Cornell who co-authored the study with her husband, Stephen Ceci.Williams and Ceci analyzed data about the academic careers of men and women with and without children. Before women became mothers, they had careers equal to or more successful than their male peers. But once they gave birth, the dynamic changed.
Women in other academic fields such as the humanities and social sciences face similar problems and often leave academia as well. But because there are so many women in those Ph.D. programs, enough finally stay to amount to a critical mass of female professors.
In math-heavy fields, however, women make up a tiny minority of the graduate students. So when the rare few who make it through a Ph.D. program leave because universities are not concerned about their needs as mothers at all, the net result is almost no women represented on faculty rosters (教师名单), the study said.

On the morning after the rainstorm, a man was walking on the beach, enjoying the beautiful view of the nature. Suddenly, he found thousands of starfish(海星) trapped in the shallow puddles(水坑) on the beach. As the sun rose, the water in the puddles was disappearing and the starfish began to struggle for life desperately. However, they still had no hopes to go back to the sea not far away.
As the man continued walking, he noticed a little boy picking up the starfish one by one and throwing them into the ocean. Then he went over and asked the boy, “What are you doing?” The boy replied, “I'm throwing starfish back into the water. If I leave them here, they’ll dry up and die.” The man said, “But look how many starfish there are. What you’re doing can’t possibly make a great difference to all of them.” As the boy picked up another starfish and threw it into the ocean, he said, “Well, it makes a difference to this one!” Then he added, “Though I can’t save all of them, I can make some of them survive with my efforts.”
Moved by the lovely and warm-hearted boy, the man bent down to pick up the struggling starfish and threw them into water. Every time he threw the starfish into the water, he felt their fate was changing.

One possible version:
A man noticed a boy repeatedly picking up the trapped starfish and throwing them into the sea despite being unable to save all of them. Consequently, the man was moved and joined the boy.
Reading the impressive story, I find the boy was so kind-hearted that he should really deserve praise from all the people. Actually, he set a good example, especially to the young.
My meaningful experience of offering help to a schoolmate will never escape from my memory. One of my schoolmates suffered from a severe and rare disease, which put his family heavily into debt. Knowing this, I called on all the students to collect money for him. It was our timely efforts that helped him out of hardships.As a saying goes, “A small act of kindness goes a long way.” Therefore, I appeal to all the people to get involved in the campaign of offering a hand to others. Only when we offer assistance to each other voluntarily can we live in a harmonious society.
