Vote for Our Hero of the Year
Every month，Reader’s Digest spotlights ordinary citizens who risk something big—their reputation，their money，sometimes even their lives—to help someone else．Here we profile seven of the most extraordinary Americans we know．Whose story inspired you the most? Cast your vote at www．rd．com／everyday heroes．We’ll update you on our winner in the April issue．
The Good Doctor
The tiny village of Bayou La Batre，Ala．，had been without a doctor for several years when Regian Benjamin turned a shuttered pharmacy into a community clinic．And in they came---patients with problems you didn’t often see in a medical school：shrimp poisoning from the seafood plants，fishhooks in eyebrows，shark bites．
In 1998 Hurricane Georges roared through，smashing everything in its path．The clinic was destroyed．For two years，Benjamin made house calls in her battered pickup，working weekends as an ER physician and running up her credit cards while rebuilding her clinic．
In June 2002，Benjamin，at 45，became the first woman and the first African American to
be named president of the Medical Association of the State of Alabama．But her passion remains her patients．Every once in a while a headhunter calls with a job offer．For Benjamin the answer is easy： “Not interested．”
The Shadow
Driving up a residential street in the quiet suburb of Clarkston，Wash．，Kim Heimgartner noticed a man pulling a girl of 11 or so into a white sedan．The girl struggled，but the man yanked her by the backpack，shoved her into the backseat and sped off．
“Maybe it was her dad．”Heimgartner wondered．Possibly．But…
With her own six-year-old daughter in her Jeep，Heimgartner turned around and followed the sedan out of town．She dialed 911．I’ve witnessed a possible abduction，she explained，describing their remote location near a landfill．
Heimgartner’s hunch (直觉)was right．After a three-hour standoff with police，the kidnapper surrendered．In his car were a gun，knives，cameras, duct tape and 90 rounds of ammunition．He is now serving a 13-year，8-month prison term．And Heimgartner knows to trust her gut instinct．
The Brave Boy
“I went into the ditch and flipped (翻转)over twice，” recalls Tammy Hill of the accident on Thanksgiving, 2002． “Luckily, the kids were all in car seats. I went through the driver’s side window．”Hill’s seven-year-old son，Titus Adams，suddenly became the head of the family．He wrapped blankets around his two younger sisters，crawled through the broken window and wearing only his pajamas and socks，walked toward the lights of a dairy farm a third of a mile away. Weather reports showed it was below freezing, and Titus was scared of the dark．Colorado State Trooper J．R．Peters was the first officer to arrive at the accident scene. “This kid was unbelievable，” he said．Tammy’s injuries were severe，but thanks to her son，she’s going to be okay．
The Track Star
All Brad McCorkle intended that afternoon was to meet his cousin，Kim，for lunch．But when he got to Valley Bank in Davenport，Iowa，where Kim worked as a teller，a man leapt over the gate by the teller’s window and rushed past．Kim pointed at the mall and mouthed to McCorkle，a former track star (田径明星)，“Go get him!”
Across the street，through a supermarket parking lot，over a barbed-wire fence，McCorkle chased the man，cornering him in somebody’s backyard．When police arrived，they found $12，940 in the man’s pocket．Coincidentally，the pursuit lasted a quarter of a mile—McCorkle’s best distance．The robber was sentenced to ten years．
The Mountain Climber
At 13,000 feet，about to summit Colorado’s Quandary Peak，Andy Kass and Matt Wisniewski felt like they were on top of the world．But in a flash，the snow beneath their feet cracked wide open，and both men were swept downhill at 50 m．p．h．
Kass somersaulted some 200 feet；when he awoke，his face was bloody and his friend was gone．Dazed and shivering，he started down the mountain，hoping to find Wisniewski before sunset．But his numb fingers couldn’t grip the handholds in the cliff and bam!--he fell，dropping four stories onto solid granite，smashing his kneecap．Kass screamed out in pain，but struggled to his feet and kept going．
At the bottom，he saw Wisniewski，his face blank and his body temperature dangerously low．Kass forced himself into a run，adrenaline (肾上腺素)helping him push through the pain until he found a house with a phone to call 911．
Wisniewski’s heart stopped twice while medics rushed him to the hospital．Amazingly，he recovered，marveling： “Andy ran for my life.”
The Boogie Boarder
Day one of his vacation in Maui：Stephen Bona was goofing around on his boogie board when he saw something huge and gray leap out of the water about 20 yards away．Shark!
Instinctively，he turned to catch the next wave in．Then he heard screams．A ten-foot shark had grabbed hold of Julie Given-Glance，a 34-year old triathlete. Her right hand was nearly severed and she was losing blood．
The other swimmers headed back in．Common sense told Bona to follow．Instead, he paddled into the crimson waves．He slipped his board under the victim’s back and started kicking for the faraway beach．They both knew that blood attracts sharks．
It took surgeons four hours to reattach Given-Glance’s hand．But a year after the attack，she planned to head back to Hawaii--back to the Pacific to swim．
The Cowgirl
Just before Christmas，2002，intruders broke into Melissa Alexander’s parents’ garage in German Township，Ohio．They’d intended to steal a car，or the presents stashed in Melissa’s Mom’s trunk，or both．As two figures ran down the driveway, Melissa，pajama—clad and shoe- less，dashed after them．One intruder looked back just as Melissa--all five-foot—three and 115 pounds of her--took a running jump．She tackled him as they slid across the icy ground．“Don’t even think about moving，”she said．With a 37-foot lunge line (套马绳)，used to tame horses， she roped the man’s hands behind his head and pinned him to the ground with her body weight．
The men were found guilty of criminal trespass and theft charges．
Exercises：
1．The tiny village in which Regian Benjamin worked as a doctor was far from sea．
2．Heimgartner was alone in her Jeep when she noticed a man pulling a girl of 11 or so into a white sedan．
3．The brave boy Titus who saved his mother was not scared of the dark at all．

5．With his face blank and his body temperature dangerously low，Kass tried his best to help his friend．
6．It was the first time for Andy Kass and Matt Wisniewski to summit Colorado’s Quandary Peak when the snow beneath their feet cracked wide open．

Passports
If you’ve ever traveled outside the United States，one of the most important tasks you had to complete before your trip was applying for a passport．A copy of your original birth certificate may suffice for short trips to Mexico or the Caribbean，say on a cruise．But，generally speaking，want to see the world，you have to have a passport—the only universally accepted form of identification．
What Exactly Is a Passport and How Long Has It Been Around?
Passports have been around in some form for hundreds of years．Governments learned long ago that an official document or certification—one that identified a traveler as a citizen or national with a right to protection while abroad and a right to return to the country of his citizenship – is a necessity．Passports，letters of transit and similar documents were used for centuries to allow individuals to travel safely in foreign lands，but the adoption of the passport by all nations is a development of the 19th and，20th centuries．According to State Department historians，except for brief periods-during wartime，passports were not generally required for travel abroad and few obstacles were presented by foreign states' passport requirements until after1914．An executive order made on Dec．15，1915，required every person entering or leaving the United States to have a valid passport．
In the United States，passports are issued upon application to U．S．citizens by the State Department and its 13 passport agencies in major cities，by the clerks of federal and certain state courts，certain designated post offices and by U．S．consular authorities abroad．The passport is required for both departure from and re-entry to the United States．It is valid for 10years for adults and five years for people under 18．A U．S．passport cannot simply be renewed but must be completely replaced when it expires．
Applying for a Passport
You can find passport applications at any regional passport agency or at designated post offices or clerk of court offices．Today，you can even download and print your own passport applications．However，you still have to go in person to apply for your first passport．
You should apply for your passport several months in advance of your planned departure，making sure you fill in the dates of your upcoming trip in the appropriate place on the application．If you'll need visas from foreign embassies，allow more time．
As a rule，it takes about 25 business days to process your passport application and get the document sent to you．Something to think about：Lines are longest at passport agencies from January to July，resulting in longer waiting times for applicants．You might want to avoid the crowds by applying through a nearby clerk of court or post office that accepts passport applications．
The passport agency processes expedited passports within three working days from receipt of the application．If you choose not to pay for overnight mail，you should receive your passport in 7—10 business days．You can also expedite passport renewal2 and you can do it by mail．
Does Everybody Have to Apply in Person?
The State Department’s Passport Agency says you must apply in person for a U．S．passport if you meet any of the following descriptions：
You are 13 or older and are applying for a U．S．passport for the first time．
Your previous passport was lost or stolen．
Your previous passport has expired and was issued more than 12 years ago．
You are applying for a passport for a child under age 12．
Applying in Person
Applying for a passport is not really difficult—it just requires following very specific rules．Follow these steps and you’ll have all your bases covered：
1．Complete application Form DSP.11一 but Do NOT sign the form until you are instructed to do so by the passport agent．
2．Present proof of U．S．citizenship：
Previous U．S．passport
Certified birth certificate issued by the city，county or state．
Consular report of birth abroad
Naturalization certificate
Certificate of citizenship
One more thing：Even though your Social Security card is not required by the passport application，it does ask for your Social Security number．
What Happens to My Passport Application After I Submit It?
If you apply at a passport acceptance facility，like the post office，the same day that you apply，your application will be sent：to Passport Services for processing，and you will receive your passport by first class mail within six weeks．If you apply at a passport agency，you will receive your passport within five weeks by first class mail．Your passport will be sent to the mailing address you provided on your application．
How Much Will My Passport Cost?
When you consider its importance and how long it lasts，a passport：is a pretty good deal．For routine services，passports for adults 1 6 and older cost$60．Those age 15 and younger pay a total of $40．
If you were born outsid
