A three-year-old kid pressing all the right buttons used his mother's computer to buy a second-hand Japanese car on the Internet auction（拍卖）site eBay．
The parents of the boy，Jack Neal，were dumbstruck when the website sent them a message of congratulations for buying the Barbie pink Nissan Figaro，a collector's item．
“We couldn't understand what was happening．Neither of us had bought anything，” said Jack's mother，Rachel，36．“So we checked and saw it was a Barbie pink car which we'd bought for 8,999 pounds．We flew into a panic（恐慌）．
The following morning，Jack told his parents，“I've bought a car．”
Rachel Neal said she thought she had left her eBay password（密码）in her computer．“Jack's good at computers and just pressed all the right buttons，” she added．Her husband John，37，explained it had all been a mistake when he called the seller of the soft-top，second-hand car．“Luckily he saw the funny side and said he would re-advertise，” Rachel Neal added．
Paul Jones，co-director of Worcester Road Motors who is selling the car，said he had been amused by the bid（出价）．“I had a phone call explaining what had happened and as soon as I heard it was a young boy who had done it by mistake I canceled the bid and re-advertise the car which is very collectable，” Jones said．“He must have good taste in cars．We've all got children and they do silly things at times so it was no problem．”
The car，which had been imported from Japan，is available on eBay at a starting price of 7,999 pounds or a buy-it-now price of 8,999 pounds．

When many people are worried that there are no more heroes in the modern times, two university students who lost their lives to rescue drowning children have shown that heroes still exist.
According to the Inner Mongolia Morning Post, the tragedy (悲剧) occurred on the afternoon of December 14, 2002 when three school students skating on a frozen lake in Qingcheng Park in Hohhot fell through the ice into the freezing water.
More than 20 university students who happened to be near the place where it happened immediately went to the rescue of the children.
Two children were quickly rescued, but the third died. The child’s body was not found for three hours. Two of the rescuers, Liu Ye and Hao Longbiao, also died of cold and tiredness.
The body of Hao who took the lead in jumping into the lake was not found until the next day.
A student who was unwilling to tell his name said he and his classmates from the local college were taking photos at the lake.
