“I just want to see the ticket go to good use and for someone to experience a lot of joy,” said Axani. He posted his offer on a social networking website, and received thousands of e-mails, including thirty from actual Elizabeth Gallagbers with the right passports, “More interesting , there are hundreds of Canadians who are interested in giving their name to Elizabeth Gallagher,” Axani said. “It was absolutely out of control , thousands of e-mails, people around the world sharing their stories of travel.”
Axani wrote in his post that he is not looking for anything in return and that the woman who uses the dealing with ticket can choose to either travel with him or take the ticket and travel on her own.
The trip is scheduled to start on December 21 in New York City and continue on to Milan, Prague, Paris, Bangkok and New Delhi before ending in Toronto on January 8. He said the lucky woman will be announced on the website and the trip will be shared online.

A Heroic Driver
Larry works with Transport Drivers. Inc. One morning in 2009. Larry was __ traveling __along 165 north after delivering to one of his customers . Suddenly, he saw a car with its bright lights on. As he got closer, he found another vehicle upside down on the road. One more look and he noticed flames shooting out from under the disabled vehicle. Larry pulled over, set the brake and got hold of the fire extinguisher (灭火器). Two good bursts from the extinguisher and the fire was put out.
The man who had his bright lights on came over and told Larry he had made an emergency call. They then heard a woman’s voice coming from the wrecked (毁坏的) vehicle. Approaching the vehicle, they saw that a woman was trying to get out of the broken window. They told her to stay still until the emergency personnel arrived, but she thought the car was going to explode . Larry told her that he had already put out the fire and she should not move in case she injured her neck.
Once fire and emergency people arrive, Larry and the other man backed off and let them go to work. Then, Larry asked the police if he was needed or free to go. They let him and the other man go.
One thing is for certain —Larry went above and beyond the call of duty by getting so close to the burning vehicle! His efforts most likely saved the woman’s life.

Hundreds of people have formed impressions of you through that little device(装置) on your desk. And they’ve never actually met you. Everything they know about you came through this device, sometimes from hundreds of miles away. Yet they feel they can know you just from the sound of your voice. That’s how powerful the telephone is.
Powerful, yes, but not always accurate . For years I dealt with my travel agent only by phone. Rani, my faceless agent whom I’d never met in person , got me rock-bottom prices on airfares, cars, and hotels. But her cold voice really annoyed me. I sometimes wished to find another agent.
One morning, I had to book an immediate flight home for a family emergency. I ran into Rani’s office for the first time . The woman sitting at the desk, seeing my madness, sympathetically jumped up. She gave me a comforting smile, nodded while listening patiently, and then printed out the ticket immediately. “What a wonderful lady!” I thought.
Rushing out gratefully I called out over my shoulder, “By the way, what’s your name?” “I’m Rani,” she said. I turned around and saw a pleasant woman with a big smile on her face waving to wish me a safe trip. I was speechless ! Why had I thought she was cold? Rani was, well, so nice .
Sitting back in the car on the way to the airport, I figured it all out. Rani’s friendliness ---her warm smile, her nods, her ‘I’m here for you’ attitude ---were all silent signals that didn’t travel through wires.
