Mark was a boy admired by his classmates and friends. He was happy, confident, brave, social, and had good school performance. But when Mark was ten years old, all this changed.
During that year, Mark met with an accident, and his left leg got terribly injured. After recovery, he could no longer walk normally like before though he didn’t need the crutches (拐杖), which made him sad and hopeless. Worried about Mark’s situation, his parents tried to entertain him and cheer him up.
On a cool Saturday morning in summer, Mark’s mother, Nicole, wondered how to entertain and encourage him. Suddenly she remembered Mark had said he wanted to learn to row a boat. Mark said it before the car accident. But after the disaster, Mark never mentioned it again. Wondering whether Mark still liked it, Nicole asked. But Mark just replied, “No, Mom!” He was thinking to himself, “With this disabled (残疾的) leg, I could do nothing. I’ll be a loser for the rest of my life.” But Nicole kept telling him that it would be fun and easy for him to row a boat under her guidance. Not wanting to disappoint his mom, Mark finally decided to give it a try, but didn’t hold any hope. Then he and his mom set off for a lake.
Mark was a little anxious all the way because it was his first time that he had rowed a boat. Nicole tried to comfort him. After about an hour of driving, they arrived at the lake. There were already many people who came for entertainment. Some were driving boats on the lake. And some were fishing. There were also some people doing exercise, running around the lake.
After parking the car, Nicole came to a building with Mark. There Nicole rented a small boat driven by oars (桨). After putting on life jackets, Nicole and Mark headed to the boat stopping by the lake. A worker showed them the boat they had rented.

It was the 9th of January, a day I will remember for a long time. It was a normal Sunday morning around 8:30 am, right on time for Sammy’s morning walk. I didn’t walk because of my lameness, so I rode in my power wheelchair. We got out the door and made our way toward a property near my apartment complex. We got to the gate and out of the complex, and we went left onto the extra wide sidewalk. It was about a mile’s walk one way , passing a firehouse on the right side of the road, before we turned around and started back.
Along the path we took was a large plate over the sidewalk. I passed over it the first time without any problems. My wheelchair could reach up to 8 miles per hour, but we went a little slower on our walks, around 2 miles per hour, so Sammy could keep up. Even so, this speed was pretty fast for a 15-year-old dog.
As we turned around and made our way back, I went over the sidewalk plate again except that this time it was moved without me realizing it, putting my wheelchair in the grass on the embankment (路堤). The next thing I knew, my wheelchair started to tip over, throwing me out of the chair and rolling down the embankment into the muddy water below.
My right leg was hurt, and I was unable to pull myself upright. I was too weak to gather my strength to call for help. The muddy water was cold and I felt it hard to breathe with my body folded and twisted in a strange position. Meanwhile, Sammy was sitting up on the sidewalk with his leash (牵狗皮带) caught under the tipped over wheelchair. I heard him barking louder than ever heard. He knew I was hurt and was in danger.
By the way my wheelchair tipped over, a passerby on the street would not be able to see it from the road. All anyone could see was a dog barking on the sidewalk almost night across the street from the firehouse.

7 . A couple from Miami , Bill and Simone Butler , spent sixty-six days in a life-raft (救生艇)in the seas of Central America after their boat sank.
Twenty-one days after they left Panama in their boat, Simony, they met some whales(鲸鱼). “They started to hit the side of the boat, ” said Bill, “and then suddenly we heard water. ”Two minutes later , the boat was sinking. They jumped into the life-raft and watched the boat go under the water.
For twenty days they had tins of food , biscuits , and bottles of water. They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water-two things which saved their lives. They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw(生的). Then the line broke. “So we had no more fish until something very strange happened. Some sharks(鲨鱼) came to feed , and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface. I caught them with my hands. ”
About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them. After fifty days at sea, their life- raft was beginning to break up. Then suddenly it was all over. A fishing boat saw them and picked them up.

Ken Scott kicked off the covers and leapt out of bed at his home in the Rocky Mountain town of Mullan, Idaho. He’d just heard on the radio that the nearby Silver Mountain Resort had been blessed with nearly a foot and a half of new snow. As an experienced ski addict, he didn’t want to miss this big golden opportunity. These conditions are what skiers live for.
When Scott reached Silver Mountain’s locker room, he came across his friend Paul, a former ski instructor who had also been a regular on these slopes for more than two decades. Both of them were exhilarated. Before setting off, it was Paul’s routine to check his phone tightly fixed inside his parka (风 雪外套). For the next hour the pair skied on various runs under a lightly dull sky, making fresh tracks. They were both in a playful mood, laughing as they tackled the steep runs.
Almost immediately, the snow beneath their feet gave way. In a millisecond, Paul realized what was happening. “Avalanche! (雪崩)” he yelled to Scott, who was not far behind. Scott responded. The sudden snow slide caused fear in his voice. “This is happening!” Instantly, both were hit by a mass of snow that would hit and carry them some 500 feet down the mountain. Scott felt it surrounding and enclosing him, moving quickly up his back and over his shoulders, then heavy against his neck. Snow filled the space in front of him and piled up around the whole of him. Paul, too, was swept downhill.
They remembered the avalanche survival lessons they had learned. Keep your head up. Try to swim. Stay on top of the snow. But the snow was too powerful and they felt themselves rolling like a load of clothes in a washing machine. When Scott finally came to rest, he was lying on his left side and completely buried, skis and poles still attached.

Yesterday on my way home, I witnessed a accident. A girl fell off her bike, which head was bleeding heavy. Many people crowded around her. To help the girl, and someone advised moving her to the roadside in the shade. I disagreed and insisted that the girl should be left where she was until doctors get here. She seemed not breathe at that time. I started his breathing using mouth-to-mouth way. Then I covered her wound with a clean piece of cloth and pressing the wound to slow down bleeding. About ten minute later, the doctors arrived and the girl were sent to hospital.
