18、ight, thinking myself a very independent gown-up, I left my uncles place in South Laguna after a visit, without admitting to him that I had less than an eighth of a tank of gas and no cash to buy more on the way to L.A. I pulled onto the Pacific Coast Highway and watched the needle move down as I he

19、aded north. When the engine started giving off strong smells, I pulled into a gas station. There was no self-serve then; there were no credit cards, no ATMs.I begged the guy at the station. I could write him a check for gas, I said, or I could sleep in my car and try to walk to a town with a bank th

20、e next morning. As he was informing me that I could sleep in my car but hed have me arrested, a station wagon pulled up to the next pump. The drivera thin, plain, middle-aged guyoverheard the tail end of my failed request. As the attendant went to serve him, he nodded at me. “Fill her tank first,” h

21、e said.“Really?” I said. Hope bloomed. “Oh, thank you. Thank you. But please. I just need two bucks worth. I just need to get home.”“Fill it,” he repeated to the attendant.

A stranger helped him CCockroaches(蟑螂) are the most unpleasant of all insects. Seemingly large and fast, and they live in the most disgusting conditions. Its no wond

24、er the first reaction of many to seeing a cockroach is to try to destroy it, and few would drop a tear at the thought of the entire species dying out. But, of course, things are not so simple. Unpleasant though they are, according to biologists the ill-famed cockroach is essential to the survival of

25、 the planets delicate ecosystem.According to Srini Kambhampati, professor and chairman of the biology department at the University of Texas, the disappearance of cockroaches would play havoc with the nitrogen cycle. As a leading expert on roaches, he said: “Most cockroaches feed on rotten organic ma

26、tter, which traps a lot of nitrogen. Cockroach feeding has the effect of releasing that nitrogen （in their waste）which then gets into the soil and is used by plants. In other words, extinction of cockroaches would have a big impact on forest health and therefore indirectly on all the species that li

27、ve there.” The professor also warned that the Earths 5,000 to 10,000 cockroach species are also an important source of food for many birds and small mammals like mice and rats. In turn, these killers themselves are food of many other species like cats, wolves and snakes, as well as eagles and other

28、big birds. Any cut to the number of cockroaches would thus have a harmful effect on the wellbeing of all these species that could have a destroying effect on wildlife across that world. Of course, theres not much chance of a cockroach extinction level event happening any time soon. Still, although i
