Years ago I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a small hospital's emergency department.No one wanted to work on Christmas Eve，so the shift(轮班) went to me.I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spend the night in the hospital.It was a thankless job．
At 9 p．m.，the ambulance brought in a man in his 60s who was having a heart attack.His face was pale，and he was frightened.The whole night I did my best to save his life.Before I left in the morning to spend Christmas with my family，I stopped by to see how he was doing.It was still tough，but he had survived the night and was sleeping.
The following year I got Christmas Eve duty again.At 9 p．m.sharp，the ward clerk told me there was a couple who wanted to speak with me.When I approached them，the man introduced himself as Mr.Lee and said，“You probably don't remember me，but last Christmas Eve you saved my life.Thank you for the year you gave me.” He and his wife hugged me，handed me a small gift，and left.
The following year a new doctor had joined the group，but I wanted to see if Mr.and Mrs.Lee would return.This time，I volunteered for the shift.I kept an eye on the door.Once again，at exactly 9 p．m.，the Lees appeared，carrying a warmly wrapped bundle.It was their new grandchild.Mr.Lee，his family and I spent 13 Christmas Eves together.In the later years the staff all knew about the story and would work to give me time with him in the break room，where we spent a half hour each Christmas Eve.
The last year I saw him，he brought me a gift.I carefully opened the package and found a crystal(水晶) bell inside.It was engraved(镌刻) with a single word：Friendship.Now，my family，friends and I ring that bell every Christmas Eve at
exactly 9 p．m.and offer our best wishes to the man who we won't forget.

For many Floridians，treasure is found in the weather，sun and sand.For others，the word“treasure”holds true meaning.
If you're willing to put in a little bit of work，there's a wealth of information in what lies just beneath the surface.
Tales of treasure run deep in Florida's history.While they may seem like nothing more than fairy tales，in Florida there is a truth to the talk．
This summer，salvage (海滩救助) companies uncovered millions of dollars worth of gold on the east side of the state.While these types of finds are reserved for the professionals，other finds are for you to recover.
“I' ve always been a lover of history.Anything that I can hold in my hand，” said Ed Tisdale，a Cape Coral man who，with his friend Norman Jones，has spent decades searching our sands with his metal detector.
With half-a-century of metal detecting between the two，you can see them any given day on the hunt.
What is the attraction of combing these beaches?
“Well，it' s never knowing what you' re going to find，”replied Jones.“You' re going to pick up a few nickels and dimes and pennies，but to be quite honest，it' s the rings，it' s the jewelry; it' s all here because people leave it behind.”
“I' ve found a lot of jewelry at Fort Myers，Fort Myers Beach during Spring Break，”said Tisdale.“Oh my God，it's unbelievable.”
You won't find these hunters looking to cash in.Tisdale and Jones keep their valuables in safety deposit boxes so they can hold on to the history and share it with others.
In fact，as part of the Cape Coral Police Department's“Do the Right Thing”program，Jones and Tisdale charge a $25 fee to help people recover lost items.They then donate that fee to the department for them to pass on to kids in the area doing remarkable things.

British shoppers buy 2.15 million tonnes of clothing and shoes annually，yet UK citizens have an estimated ￡ 30 billion worth of unused clothing gathering dust at the back of the wardrobe(衣柜)．But new technology could see the end of that，with the garments themselves giving owners a gentle reminder of their existence.
“Smart clothes”could help us clear out our wardrobes by sending messages or tweeting us if they haven't been worn for a good while.If these alerts are ignored，the garments will get in touch with a clothing charity and ask to be reused，with an organization automatically sending out donation information.They could also be programmed to put themselves up for auction(拍卖) on eBay.
Academics at Birmingham City University are developing the “ connected wardrobe” to encourage more suitable clothes consumption.The concept sees garments tagged (给??加标签) using washable contactless technology.
Mark Brill，senior lecturer at Birmingham City University，said，“Think of the surprise when an owner suddenly receives bids for items that they didn't know were in their wardrobe.”“The connected wardrobe is a practical，pleasant concept to encourage people to think about their clothing consumption.Finally，I hope it will encourage more appropriate fashion consumption，”he added.“Perhaps we can even move away from the idea of ‘ownership’of clothing.When we've worn them enough，the items will pass themselves on to their next keeper.”
It follows in the footsteps of the“ Internet of Things”— a concept that sees ordinary household items connecting to the Internet in order to share information.From adjusting your alarm clock to monitoring the temperature of your home，the Internet is changing the way we live.Now，the“Internet of Clothes”will see that neglected garments will tweet and text the owners “asking” to be worn depending on the weather and frequency of wear.Clothes will keep track of other information such as who owned them previously，as well as how much they originally cost，who made them and how much the worker was paid for them.
