The Kid That Saved His Dad
On a sunny day last April,Bode,then nine,and his father,John Taylor,54,were snowmobiling around the remote country of Lake Tahoe.As they were driving on the snow,a little dry branch jammed in the brake of John's vehicle.Unable to slow down,John rushed toward a pine tree.He moved to jump off the vehicle before it crashed,but his pantleg (caught underneath it.John felt his leg broken.As he sank six inches into the powdery snow,he could tell his arms and shoulder were injured too.Bode rushed to dig out his father,but John stopped him.They had no water,little food,and no cell phone service."Get on your snowmobile,"John told Bode."Follow the road,and try to find help."
After a 20-minute ride,Bode spotted a tour group and asked the guide to radio for help.The rescuers quickly appeared on the scene.And Bode led them through the white wilderness to his dad,who was pale and in pain.
While they were waiting for a plane to send John to the nearest hospital,the rescuers quickly stabilized his leg.An hour later,he received surgery for the broken leg and interal bleeding.
Today,John's leg has healed enough for him to take Bode out on dirt bikes.Father and son now carry extra devices on their trips,including a two-way radio with an emergency button."I'm still a little afraid to go out on a snowmobile,"says Bode."But I'm starting to feel better about it.” Tisha Shaw,Bode's mother,says her son's courage and quick thinking have led her to treat him as more of an ***.She lets him stay up later at night because"I trust his judgment," she says.

Secrets About Professional Chocolate Tasters
(1)People's faces light up when I say I taste chocolate for a living,but it's not always delicious.I also have to taste bad chocolate.I'm usually in a small room and sit in front of a computer to record information.Sometimes the room has red lighting.So I can evaluate chocolate only by taste,not appearance.
(2)I can sample as many as 30 chocolates per day.To taste them professionally,I spit the sweets back out.That's another not-so-sweet part of the job.Between samples,I wait 30 seconds to let my senses rest,and I chew half an unsalted biscuit and drink plain warm water.
(3)First I smell the chocolate and record it.I also listen:Old chocolate doesn't make a clear and sharp sound when broken.Then I put a tiny piece in my mouth and leave it there for a few seconds.I let it melt and record the four basic tastes-sweet,sour,bitter and salty.
(4)I love chocolate.The bottom part of my refrigerator is filled with chocolate from different parts of the world.My favorite types are very high in cocoa(可可粉)Before.I started tasting chocolate professionally,I ate a lot.But now I don't eat so much.
(5)Many people don't know how to appreciate the taste of chocolate.As a taster,I want to help others do what I do.To retrain your taste buds to enjoy better quality chocolate,try simple kinds that aren't filled with ingredients like nuts.Look at food with curiosity and love.Notice its color,smell and taste.Then you'll know good quality.
