The first thing Eileen Korey noticed when she got into the car that Wednesday afternoon in early May was a small diamond ring in the tray(托盘)between the front seats. It hadn't been there before. Weeks earlier, she had taken the car in to have the airbag replaced. The car belonged to her daughter and son-in-law and she was helping them out. Now she was picking it up. That's when she saw the ring. Korey, 64, of Lake Oswego quickly contacted her daughter and son-in-law to ask if they were missing a diamond ring or if any of their friends had reported losing a ring. They both wrote back, saying they had no idea what she was talking about.
Korey took the ring to the service desk at the garage to ask if any women technicians might have left a ring in the car while they were working on it. The woman behind the counter said only men worked on the cars.
Korey asked if the desk clerk could get information from the guy who had replaced the airbag. Over a two-way radio(对讲机), Helbt said he'd placed the ring in the tray when it dropped to the car's floor after he opened up the steering column to replace the airbag. He was not sure how it got there.
She knew a friend who was a jeweler and stopped by to have her look at the ring to see if it was real. Her friend said the diamond, set in a white gold hand, was worth$1, 200 and Korey could easily sell it for $500. But she wouldn't sell it. After making sure the ring didn’t belong to anyone in her family—or anyone at the auto shop Korey tracked down the first owner of the car using paperwork she found in the glove box. Her detective work led her to a dealership in Beaverton, and the car's first owners:Daniel and Ashleigh Hannah. The Hannahs had purchased the small ring when they got engaged and were saving money to buy a house.
Paragraph 1:
One Sunday afternoon, they were driving to an event in their car but had to stop at the bank and use the ATM machine.

Gwheezie, a nurse, wrote about her heart attack symptoms on social media. ''Last Sunday I had a heart attack. I'm alive because I called 911. I never had chest pain. It wasn’t what you read in brochures. ''
Gwheezie pointed out that she recently helped her neighbor clean out the garden and actually thought it was muscle strain(扭伤). The pain ran across her upper back, shoulders and equaly down both arms. ''I'd just written it off because it wasn't really bad, '' Gwheezie said. She even drove six hours to help her mother the day before the actual attack came. However, she almost died because she didn't call it ''chest pain''. ''I was lucky, '' she wrote. ''And I wanted to warn women our heart attacks feel different. ''
''Pain that comes and goes seems like a surprising symptom, but it's actually common for heart disease, '' women's health expert, Jennifer Haythe says. ''Some women will experience chest pain, but it may feel different than the typical 'crushing pain(压迫性疼痛)'men will describe. Other women won’t have chest pain at all, which can be deadly. '' Sanjiv Patel, MD, says. ''Women are far more likely to develop untypical symptoms for a heart attack, including indigestion, shortness of breath, tiredness, and arm, neck and back pain, etc. ''
But there are ways to distinguish if the pain is heart-related. ''If you have pain and it gets worse when you exhaust yourself, that's more likely to be a sign, '' Patel says. ''If you have pain and difficulty breathing when you're sitting and watching TV, you get up and walk around and it goes away, the pain is probably not related to your heart. Moreover, if it comes back the next day for a longer period of time. you'll want to see a doctor. ''
''Any new symptom that doesn't feel quite right calls for an immediate call or visit to your doctor, '' Haythe says. ''Take your body seriously. It's usually telling you something. ''
