1 . It was a busy morning and I had several things to do before it became too hot to be outside the house. As I was walking by the side of a busy road, I saw an old lady, maybe in her 80s standing dangerously close to the traffic. Although my mind was preoccupied (心事重重的), I thought to myself that I should warn her not to stand so close to the disordered traffic rushing by.
When I reached the place where the old lady was standing, I noticed that she was trying to get the attention of passers-by who of course were too busy to take note of her. She kept pointing to the middle of the road. When I tried to gently move her back further away from the busy road, she said that she was standing there because she had dropped her house key in the middle of the road and was unable to open her house without the key. I looked around and no one seemed to be interested in the two of us. I knew I was getting late but decided to help.
The traffic was busy on the road with people on their bikes and office goers in cars as well as school buses rushing with school children. It was the worst time of the day to cross a busy road without a traffic light. I asked the old lady to stay at a safe distance, took a deep breath, and I myself carefully stepped onto the road waving my hands madly almost expecting to be hit by an oncoming vehicle. At first one lane (车道) stopped and then I moved further on to the middle of the road continuing to wave my hand. Just then a school bus was approaching me and I bravely stepped in front of it to stop it.
The driver seemed so angry that he shouted at me.
I carefully helped the old lady leave the crowded street.
| A．I explained to him that I was going to fetch the key for the old lady. The driver understood me and was moved by my behavior. He said he would block the car behind him so I could get the key. I walked to the middle of the road, found the old lady’s key, and handed it into her hand. At this time, I heard cheers coming from the school bus. |
| B．I asked him what the problem was. He said he had just come from the airport without a customer and he had no money to pay for the bill. Hearing this,I comforted him patiently that everything would be fine later.After chatting with me,his anger slowly died down.He said goodbye to me with gratitude. |
| C．Knocked down by the bus, the old lady was lying on the road, crying loudly. Her cry attracted so many passers-by that the street was crowed in one minute. But nobody dared to give her a hand. Seeing this, I walked to her to help the old lady stand up . |
| D．She thanked me again and again. Considering that the old lady couldn’t follow the traffic rules, I thought it would be dangerous for her to go home alone. She might get into trouble again on the road. I decided to help her to the end. Asking the old lady to wait by the side of the road, I stopped a taxi and asked the driver to send the old lady home safely. |
