Jason had been watching the X Games on TV. Athletes from all over the world were competing in the most amazing sports. Just then his grandmother walked into the room. ''I want to be extreme. Would you really let me do that? You always worry about my safety! '' said Jason.

''You will have to follow some rules, '' said his grandmother. ''You can only ride in the park —never on the streets. You have to promise to wear a helmet (头盔). If you hurt yourself too much, I have the right to take your skateboard away. Is it a deal? ''

''You bet! '' Jason was so excited that he jumped off the sofa. A week later he had a board and a helmet.

On Saturday, his grandmother dropped him off near the park. He was happy to have a grandmother who let him try new things.

Kids in the park were moving quickly up and down the ramps (坡道). They flew into the air and landed as easily as birds. When he watched the X games, Jason felt like he was doing the tricks himself. But watching these kids up close, he knew that none of it was going to be easy. He felt a little bit scared.

Very slowly he carried his board to the ramp. Taking a deep breath, he put his right foot on the board. He kicked off with his left foot. For a few seconds he glided (滑行) along, just waiting to fall. Then he came to a stop. Kicking off again, he waited for the worst to happen. Again, he stayed up. The third time he kicked, lost his balance, and fell hard on his left knee.

It hurt, but it was no big deal! Why had he been so scared? Now he felt calm because things had gone wrong, and he was fine!

Next time he kicked off harder and went fast and farther. ''Excellent! '' said a girl as she passed him. ''Extreme! '' laughed Jason to himself. ''Not quite.''

Police say a man dialed 911 accidentally while he and another man were breaking into a car, unknowingly leading policemen right to their location. The two men, Nathan Teklemariam and Carson Rinehart, both 20, face charges of breaking and entering and possession of stolen property, according to Fox News.

It didn’t take long for the dispatcher to realize that things were different this time. Soon something he heard attracted his attention. From the tape provided by Fox News ,one of the men can be heard to say,” How should we break into an automobile ?” Later, the sounds of a window being broken can be heard followed by a suspects excited declaration that he found something valuable in the car.

All the while, the dispatcher was listening and seeking clues as to where the two guys might be .Eventually , police were able to locate the two men’s spot and followed them. The suspects could be heard talking about why the police were on their tail .

The mystery was solved when the police pulled them over. Playing it straight, a police officer asked one of the suspects if he had anything in the vehicle that “shouldn’t be in the vehicle.” The man said he didn’t, but a quick search of the car led to the stolen property. The men were confused . They didn’t know why the police came to them so quickly. When they were told the reason, one of the suspects asked, “We really called 911? Damn.”
