       The Fearless Quake Heroine Fears Night She is strong and brave during the day, but in the darkness of
night, Jiang Min is painful.
       (1) Jiang is a policewoman from Pengzhou, a city destroyed by the May 12th earthquake. Ten of Jiang's
relatives died in the earthquake, including her mother and two-year-old daughter. Jiang did not leave her post
(崗位) as more and more displaced (使背井離鄉(xiāng)) people came to Pengzhou seeking help. It was up to police,
like her, to find shelter and food.
       In the weeks following the earthquake, Jiang worked non-stop at temporary shelters. She said she barely
slept. 
       (2) Regarded by millions of Chinese as a national heroine, Jiang said she was still struggling with nightmares
(噩夢) from that day. "I don't like night", she said. "I don't know how I struggled through those days. My heart
ached whenever I thought of my daughter and my mother… I didn't even know where they were," said she,
fighting back tears. 
       (3) Born in 1980, Jiang led a quiet life before the earthquake, taking a walk with friends, going shopping and
drinking tea were her favorite activities. The earthquake changed everything.
       "The most relaxed moment I have now is when I gather and chat with female workmates," said Jiang, who
was in Beijing for the Tenth National Women's Congress. "We sometimes cried and we felt better after that."

     Einstein was born in Germany in 1879. In his early childhood he was slow to learn to talk and didn't seem to be

then he knew what he wanted to be when he grew up. He wanted to be a physicist in the future.
     The Einsteins didn't have so much money to pay for the advanced education that young Albert needed. But the
