    Yesterday the police were joined by more than 20 volunteers in the continuing search for the two missing teenagers, Vicky Gray and Tom Hunter, and their guide, Gavin Jones. The police said that they had disappeared during an adventure tour of Cape York Peninsula.

    This was the second day of the search and the police were now very worried about the safety of the three missing people.

    The police said that the search had covered a wide area, but the rain forest was thick and their work was made harder by the recent rain. Later on Chief Inspector (警官) Roger Fleet said, “The travellers had a radio with them. If they had been in trouble, they would have called us.”

    The three travellers left Cooktown very early on Saturday morning in a Toyota car. They took a small dirt road that runs down to the Daintree River, a dangerous river full of crocodiles (鳄鱼). Chief Inspector Roger Fleet said the tourists wouldn't have got into trouble if they had stayed on the main road.

    A photo of Vicky and Tom was found by a policeman under the “Be Careful about crocodiles” sign near the river. Why was the photo left behind? This is just one of the unanswered questions. Other questions are: Why was the photo left behind? Why was the Toyota parked and locked at the edge of the rain forest? The police said that the travellers had left a map of the area behind. Why? Why had someone drawn a cross on the point where the car is? Is this a sign? What does it mean? If anyone can give information or has seen these three young people, contact the local police in Cooktown.

   2003年4月20日,北京一个出租车司机等到了一个要去北京南站的客人。这是一段因“非典”恐慌而生意锐减的日子,有客人是求之不得的。

   当司机听到这位客人说自己“肺部有感染,打了一个星期点滴都没好,要回老家”时,他做出的选择是:将车停在路旁,锁上客人放行李的后备箱,然后用手机给110、120……拨电话。客人气急了:“我打车,到站给钱,你管得着我去哪儿吗?”

   司机说:“现在是非常时期,举国上下都在抗击‘非典’。我今儿说什么也不能让你走。”

   客人把身上的钱都掏出来给司机,央求放他走。司机说:“我这是对你负责,你要真是‘非典’就没命了,连别人也连累了。我知道你没钱了,如果医生说你没事,你明天在北京的花费,我都包了!”

   在等医疗机构的车来时,天下雨了,司机在雨中淋着,不断劝阻经过的行人绕道而行。整整两个半小时以后医院的车才到,拉上病人走了。司机将出租车彻底消毒后回家已经是凌晨。

   这是“非典”恐慌中一个最普通的人的故事,一个“小人物”的故事。是什么驱使他这样做呢?是良心,是对他人、社会的责任感,也是一个公民的意识。

   让我们记住这个司机——北创公司的张四平,今年49岁,在得知那个客人排除了“非典”的嫌疑后,他说:“我觉得对不住人家,我真想向他道歉。”
