At a moment’s notice, quick thinking can save lives. Nothing illustrates this better than the story of 13-year-old hero named Dillon Reeves, who jumped into action when his school bus driver experienced a medical emergency, bringing the bus to a stop and avoiding what could have been a very tragic accident. Reeves’ parents expressed their pride at his actions.

“It’s an honor, said his dad Steve. ”I am a bus driver, too. Because of that, Reeves could probably know how to hold the steering wheel (方向盘) and step on the brakes. "

That day, Reeves came back home from school and was riding a school bus full of students in Michigan. And he sat in the fifth rows as usual.

The school bus driver has ten years of driving experience, and during these years, he has never had a driving accident. He held the steering wheel confidently, and he stepped on the brakes carefully. All the students were chatting as usual. Everything went smoothly.

A few minutes later, Reeves noticed something was off, but others didn’t feel anything wrong at the beginning.

The bus driver felt lightheaded and said on the intercom (对讲机)， “I am going to pullover for a moment. Hearing that, students thought the bus would stopped in a certain parking area.

However, the bus didn’t make it to the pull-off area, and began to drift onto on coming traffic. Security camera footage showed the driver already lost consciousness. Seeing that, all the students shouted loudly and shook all over, feeling like sitting on pins and needles, but Reeves kept his head at that time and told himself he should take some actions quickly.

Noticing the danger of the situation, he knew it was time for him to do something.

3 . I grew up in a poor family. When I turned eight, I went to work to polish (打磨) stones after school. My fingers hurt and sometimes badly. I hated the idea of polishing stones in dirty clothes forever. I dreamed of getting a university education and becoming a doctor someday. The other boys working together laughed at me because we were too poor to pay university fees.

After completing secondary school, I went to work in a small hotel. There most of the guests spoke English. I realized it was a good chance to improve my English. Almost every guest was regarded as my teacher. I asked them about words and phrases I picked up from English newspapers left behind.

One day, a foreign lady, Delores, came to the hotel. We spent a good hour trying to figure out the way to the Hawa Mahal. Madam Delores asked, “Do you learn English at school?” “I finished school. I learn English by myself.” I answered. Madam was so impressed with me that she offered help, teaching me English online. After six months, my English greatly improved. I told Madam I planned to do a mechanics (机械学) course, which was free. How she responded changed my life forever: What if I give you the university fee?

I accepted her offer after she explained that helping me would make her happy. I remained hard-working at university. Each morning I rose at 6 a.m. to attend university. After class, I headed to work in the hotel. I stole minutes between suitcases (行李箱) to complete homework.

So far, I have completed my MBA. My life, my way of thinking and my opportunities are so different now, all thanks to Madam and the education I received. I began to think about the millions of Indian kids like me. If I could change my life, with the right help, they could change their lives too. So, with Madam’s support, I started a non-profit company to raise excellent learners and thinkers. I’m really happy because I’m doing something good for others, like Madam did for me.

4 . When Ann was 13, she was accepted into a university to study medicine. Shortly after getting the acceptance letter, she shared the exciting news on the Internet. “I graduated from highschool last year at 12 years old. One year later, I was accepted into a university at 13. I’m a junior at college,” she wrote. “I’ve worked so hard to reach my goals and realize my dreams,” she added, going on to credit her mother because her mother gave Ann all her support.

“Mom, I made it,” Ann wrote. “I couldn’t have done it without you. You gave me every opportunity possible to be successful. You are the best mother a kid could ever ask for. You always believed in me. You allowed me space to grow and make mistakes without making me feel bad. You allowed me the opportunity to experience the world.”

The teen is currently a student in two undergraduate programs studying biological sciences in two universities. She has extremely good time management skills and is very disciplined(自律的).

Ann doesn’t only focus on the classroom when it comes to her education. In 2021, she became the youngest inter (实习生) ever at a government department. Ann said the dream started early for her. Her final goal is to become a flight surgeon(外科医生) and work with astronauts.

Ann’s impressive achievements don’t even stop there. She also founded an organization for girls of color who are interested in exploring careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

5 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

In a few short weeks I will be going to watch my 40th performance of Les Miserables (《悲惨世界》). I fell in love with the songs back in 1985 when they were first released — Bring Him Home, I Dreamed A Dream and On My Own. Even as a head teacher, I hadn’t read the Victor Hugo novel and knew very little about the musical, but the songs captured my attention instantly and I happily sang along whenever I heard them on the radio.

Five years later I set out on a trip around the world with my wife and daughter. On one of our stops in Vancouver, Canada, I saw a large advertising banner promoting Les Miserables and immediately suggested booking tickets. On the drive to the theatre, we discussed what we knew of the storyline — nothing but the French Revolution. But we did love the rollercoaster ride of emotions and the tragic story of Jean Valjean when enjoying it.

On the late-night drive home, on a high after this amazing performance, I announced that I wanted to perform in the musical when we returned to Australia. This was an incredible statement, given we lived 50 kilometers from the nearest large town, Toowoomba. There was little likelihood of ever having a chance to perform. But the Toowoomba Choral Society bought the performance rights in 1992 with the view to perform it in 1994. I had seen a few of their performances but was not a member of the choir. They called for auditions and, emboldened by the chance to be part of the “Les Mis” experience, I went along. I had had no experience singing and had never performed in any musicals but I believed in miracles and hoped for a place for me somewhere in the chorus.

I tried out for the part of Javert with others as well as the students from the University of Southern Queensland. Rehearsals (排练) started immediately and I got a crash course in singing, acting and dancing. There was so much to learn and as I drove to rehearsals three times a week a little voice would say, “You are in over your head, get out now.”

“Hey, Adam, I’m sorry I’m not there with you right now. Happy birthday.”

“Thanks, Dad. Are you coming home later for the party?”

“Um, well, something’s come up, darling. I might not be able to make it, but I’ll have Rose get you the best cake. Just tell her what you need, OK? Sorry, I really want to be there, but you know how busy my work is right now... I’m really busy.”

The call went silent. “Hey, Adam, You there? I’ll try to make time, OK? Hello? ...”

Jaden removed the phone from his ear and realized the call was disconnected. Adam had hung up.

Jaden let out a sigh. “I’m sorry, this is something I’m doing for you.”

Jaden owned a million-dollar farm business, and he was planning on expanding it. For that very reason, he was several miles away from his son, traveling to a village.

He pulled the car near the roadside and dialed his son immediately. But clearly, the call didn’t go well, Like several other times, Adam was disappointed that Jaden wasn’t there for him.

When Adam was a child, Jaden could easily ask him for forgiveness by getting him toys, chocolates and anything the boy loved.

But as an 11-year-old boy, Adam had started comprehending things. He was becoming curious and knew his dad was putting work before him. That hurt the youngster in many ways, and since Jaden’s wife passed away and he wasn’t always there for Adam, the boy was being looked after by his aunt, Rose.

As Jaden was driving along the rough road, suddenly he found a car stopped there and the driver was waving to him. Jaden stepped out of his car and approached the driver, “What’s up, sir?”

“I’m Paul, sorry to interrupt you. I’m driving a long way here to meet a client, but the battery of my smartphone runs out and my GPS doesn’t work, so I can’t figure out the route. I regret not bringing my driver for his wife was ill and I think he needs more time to accompany his wife,” the man said anxiously, After guiding Paul to his client, Jaden was lost in thought.

Taking my seat on the sidelines, I delightedly watched my daughter, Skyla, ten, perfectly balance on the hands of her teammates in mid-air. From time to time, Skyla looked down at me, excitement written all over her face.

Skyla had joined a cheerleading team three months earlier, and I loved watching her practice, like a pretty butterfly dancing in the wind. “She’s so confident,” I thought. “But as to me, things are different. There’s no way I could do that.”

A few weeks later, one morning, I was watching the training with my fellow cheer mums, chatting about how inspiring our daughters were, when one of the mums turned to me and asked, “How about we give it a go?”

As a 36-year-old mum, I was a little worried at first. The only sport I had done was tennis, but soon I realized it might be a good opportunity. We decided to call ourselves Cheer N Dance. Stepping on the mat for our first training session, I was extremely nervous, and I could feel my heart beating clearly. As I waited for the music to begin, I started to doubt myself, “I’m not as young and flexible as I used to be. What if I always forget the moves or make mistakes?” But as I moved to the rhythm of the music, a smile spread across my face.

After three months, the competition day finally arrived. With me taking my place on the mat, my heart was beating out of my chest. Amazingly, when the music started, my fear faded and I was overcome with a rush of excitement. Everything went smoothly. Once we finished, we rushed off stage, our faces beaming with pride.

As the judges announced, “Taking home the gold medal is Cheer N Dance!” I met eyes with Skyla and my husband, Brett. Waving and cheering, they were so excited for me!
