【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 , eager to help. Though digital restoration is a painstaking process, mending irreplaceable family pictures means the world to victims like Emily Lancaster, 71, who took out piles of ruined photo albums after Katrina, never thinking the mess could be saved. But she just couldn39。t bear to part with a few treasured pictures, including a portrait of her father, who had passed away, and a photo of her husband as a boy. Then she heard about Operation Photo Rescue. I didn39。t have a whole lot of hope they could fix them, but they did, Emily says. Almost every day I think about all the pictures I39。ve lost. I39。m so happy to have these two. In the five years since Katrina, Operation Photo Rescue has collected thousands of pictures ruined by floods, hurricanes and tornadoes. Volunteers make copy runs to disaster areas across the country to gather damaged photos from survivors。 operating costs are covered by donations. It39。s great to be able to give people some of their history back, says Rebecca. One person told me that thanks to us, her grandmother got to see her photos again before she passed away.

Sometimes a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum (最后通牒) about being late on the job. Although there was a good reason for Brian39。s being late—serious illness at home—he decided that this bynowfamiliar excuse wouldn39。t work any longer. His boss was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech. Yes, the boss was, as Brian entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room (更衣室): everyone was hard at work. Brian39。s boss came up to him. Suddenly, Brian forced a smile and stretched out his hand. How do you do! he said. I39。m Brian. I39。m applying for a job, which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Doesn39。t the early bird get the worm? The room exploded in laughter. The boss clamped off a smile and walked back to his office. Brian had saved his job, with the only tool that could win—a laugh. Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying no, criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it39。s the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that edians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance (忍受力) than people in any other forum.（1）Brian was late for his job because ________.
