Tim Robinson, a former junior officer in the British Army, slipped (滑倒) on a seaweed-covered rock while walking on the beach under Golden Cap one Saturday afternoon. It was a terrible fall and he broke his right leg.
Unfortunately, Tim didn’t bring his cell phone with him, and no one was in sight. His wife was in Seatown Hotel, where the couple were staying while on holiday. He had told his wife that he would be back in two hours.
As water levels were rising, there was a possibility of being killed by car-sized rocks falling from the cliff (悬崖). So Tim thought that he had to get off the beach instead of waiting there for help. He found a small branch on the beach and used it as a support. After struggling along the beach for a while, the pain became too much to handle. He stopped and thought about what else he could do.
With no phone and no one around, and with his leg hurting badly, Tim had a difficult decision to make. He could either continue this way in pain and hope that someone happened to see him, or he could try something else. Unable to walk,Tim thought he still had the ability to crawl (爬行), and so he did.
Making such a choice had been easy, but the crawling was tough. After crawling for almost two hours, it was getting dark, so Tim started flashing his torch (手电) to signal SOS and swung it around his head to attract attention. There was no response to begin with, so he crawled for five minutes and covered about 50 meters before making the same signal three times.
No one seemed to be around. Once again, he had to either stay where he was and wait for help or get moving. In his mind he had no choice. Most people couldn’t imagine crawling for any great distance with a broken leg, but Tim wasn’t t about to give up.

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.

7 . While driving home after work, Jane Hodgson noticed a car pulled over at the side of the road and a crowd beginning to gather around someone who was lying on the ground.
Jane, who had completed a first aid at work course, pulled over to see if she could offer any help — and it turned out to be lucky for the young injured girl that she did.
Describing the scene she came across, Jane says: “The onlookers were ashen-faced and looking lost. They were so shocked that they hadn’t even thought to call for an ambulance yet.”
After speaking to the emergency services, Jane started finding out what had happened and what injuries the young girl called Jenny had. The girl had been hit by a car and gone over the handlebars of her bike, landing on her head and shoulder. Her shoulder and arm were twisted (扭曲) underneath her.
“She hadn’t been wearing a helmet (头盔) when she got knocked down, and I thought that she should not be moved as I couldn’t be sure about a spinal injury (脊椎损伤), but after looking her over and checking the circulation in her injured arm I did feel fairly confident that she had escaped relatively unhurt.
“As we were waiting for an ambulance, the amount of pain the girl was in was increasing. To distract (分散注意力) her and minimize the risk of her going into shock I kept her talking. She held my hand tightly when the pain got too much and this helped. I told her I could handle it — we laughed about that,” describes Jane.
Later, a doctor from the local hospital’s ICU stopped at the scene too. The ICU doctor decided that Jenny should lie on her back, making her much more comfortable until the emergency services arrived.
Thinking back, Jane says: “For me, knowing that in a small way I helped that girl through what was a frightening experience is all the reward I need. I felt great to know I’d made a difference and I’d do it again.”
