1 . It was late, about 10:15 p.m. Janice 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 pushed 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 flashlight 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 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 fail to be opened due to the collision(碰撞), so DiPinto quickly run to the other side and was able 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 Miglino Jr., Chief of the Department in South Country Ambulance, “the hero arrived in pajamas(睡衣裤), not in a fire truck.”

It isn’t hard to be the responsible member of the society.

I remember an incident that happened a rainy Sunday afternoon. I was waiting for the green light at a crossing while a girl of about 10 was hit by a passed car, which drove off quickly. A man immediately rushes to give the girl first aid but I joined in it without hesitation. Fortunate, she was not badly injured, and we sent her away to the nearest hospital. Compared with the escaped drivers, I am proud of what I did.

As a member of the society, I am aware that being responsible is how it takes to make the society better.

10 . I grew up in a small town and the main entertainment was Friday night high school football. It was just a sleepy little town where parents wanted to raise their children away from crime and danger of a big city, and where teenagers like me _______leaving to find something bigger and better.

All that _______one summer night. My friend Lisa, Kim and Tyler held a party for my eighteenth birthday at Lisa’s house. As they kept _______alcohol to me, I was pretty drunk. I asked Tyler to take me home. With some _______, we made it out to his car and drove home. News came next morning. Kim, my friend _______we were five years old, was killed in a car accident. That night after Tyler and I left, Kim, who was clearly more drunk than me, got into her car and _______towards the highway to go home. She was driving on the wrong side of the road and never saw the truck coming. The driver didn’t see her _______to avoid the car. They hit head on. Kim died immediately, and the driver was thrown _______the truck windshield (挡风玻璃) and died a week later.

Whenever I look back on that day, I can’t help thinking that it was my _______to drink so much that night, otherwise things would be different. I know Kim made the choice to drink and drive that night, but a part of me will always feel ________for what happened.

I may not change the world with my story, but I do hope that I can make people ________the responsibility that they have to themselves and others by ________it. Don’t ever think that your choices are yours ________. Every choice is like a stone dropped into ________water—each ripple (波纹) represents someone who your choice ________.
