4 . My father was a swimming instructor so I guess it’s in the blood. I can’t remember a time when I couldn’t swim. I spent most of my childhood holidays at the beach and I still go at any opportunity I get.

—Simon Fordham.

It took me a long time to learn. I wasn’t a natural. I still don’t swim very well. I certainly wouldn’t like to be in a boat in rough seas. I never really learned to put my face in the water. It hurts my eyes and I can’t see.

—Geoffrey Hopkins

One day I was standing by the deep end of the swimming pool and I suddenly fell in. I don’ t know how I did it but I managed to get to the side. I was coughing but I could swim! My brother saw me when I got out and thought it was very funny. But he didn’t laugh when I hit him.

—Karen Marks

My first experience of swimming was when I was 8 or 9 years old. I was on a small boat with about ten other boys. It was very small and someone pushed me in the water. The water was very clean and I could see everything. I remember feeling very peaceful and comfortable, and I wasn’t worried at all. I started swimming, not very well, but another boy helped me to return to the beach.

—Phillip Parker

5 . Since birth, I have worn a tracheotomy tube (气切管) around my neck to help me breathe. When I was growing up, it was common for adults to tell me that I should wear colorful scarves (围巾) so that other people wouldn’t see it. They would say, “You can’t even tell it’s there,” as if my disability is something to be ashamed of (羞耻). As a kid, I never really thought about my disability the way I do now. It was just how I lived my life.

Now I’m 26 years old, and I’m proud to call myself a disabled woman because I consider my disability to be a part of who I am. I travel around the world to share my story as a disabled reporter and train other reporters on how to cover disability problems. I still remember the first time I gave a university lecture to a group of students. I realized that I could help create safe spaces where disabled people can be themselves and feel free to tell their own stories.

Unfortunately, being disabled is still viewed as something that is meant to be overcome. But for so many of us, this is how we live. This is who we are. I am always moved by the people I’ve met in the disability community: educators, historians, writers, lawyers and many more because we share the same dream and the same need for a mentally-safe world.

6 . It was late, about 10:15 p. m. Esposito got off the train at Bellport, New York, went to her car and started driving home. She was so familiar with the route that she almost drove automatically: turned left to the Station Road, then another left onto Montauk Highway, and then-bam! When Esposito's car had just crossed the railroad tracks, it hit another vehicle and was plashed back onto the tracks. Injured but mostly shocked by the crash and by the airbags that popped up, she was stuck in the vehicle.

As it happened, Pete DiPinto was just about to go to sleep when he heard a sharp noise and saw the accident not far outside his bedroom window. As a volunteer firefighter and retired teacher, DiPinto, who was 65, fetched a flash light and rushed out without hesitation. "Any firefighter would have done what I did," he said, "We're always on duty. "

At first, he spotted the other car in the accident. After making sure that the driver was all right. DiPinto looked around and discovered Esposito's car straddling(横跨)the railway tracks. And then he heard the bell ring, which signaled a train's arrival.

DiPinto rushed to Esposito's car and broke the window on the driver's side. Esposito looked up at him, with her eyes glazing over. "I don't know where I am,” she said.

"You're on the railroad tracks," DiPinto yelled. "I have to get you off right now!" The train was running toward them at a speed of some 105 kilometers per hour. The driver's door cannot be opened due to the collision, so DiPinto quickly ran to the other side and managed to open the door. He put the airbags aside, seized her arms, pulled her toward him across the passenger seat until finally got her out and walked her to safety as swiftly as possible. Several seconds later, the train crashed into the vehicle. "It was like a Hollywood movie, " DiPinto told reporters the next day.

"Last night," said Gregory, Chief of the Department in South Country Ambulance, "the hero arrived in pajamas (睡衣)，not in a fire truck."
