3 . A Jacksonville family was grateful to be alive this weekend, and the dad, Steven Poust said it’s all because of his 7-year-old son, Chase. The young boy beat a current that separated him from his father and 4-year-old sister, Abigail, in the St. Johns River near Mandarin Point on Friday.

Steven Poust anchored (抛锚) his boat in the water while he fished and his kids played around it. While Chase and Abigail were in the water, Abigail let go of the boat because of a current and they were both stuck.

Chase felt really scared, because he didn’t have a life jacket on. Luckily Abigail had one but she floated along with the current. Poust jumped in the water trying to grab Abigail while Chase tried to swim to the shore. Poust tried to grasp both of them, but he wore himself out. Abigail floated away from him.

Chase kept swimming to the shore. He first doggie paddled, then floated on his back to make sure he wouldn’t tire himself out. The current went the opposite way of going to the boat and the shore, so it was very hard to swim that way. He made it to the shore while his dad and sister were stuck in the water before being rescued by the firefighters.

Once Chase reached the shore, he ran to the nearest home to knock for help and the hostess called the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department.

“I screamed for help at the top of my lungs and waved my arms and sure enough someone heard me,” Poust said. “Abigail also made it to the shore and got help and our lives were saved.”

7 . The passenger who successfully landed a plane after its pilot fell unconscious told about the experience. Darren Harrison was on his way back from a fishing trip in the Bahamas when the pilot told him and the other passenger, a friend of the pilot’s, that he didn’t feel right.

Harrison quickly asked the pilot what needed to be done by the point when the pilot was already unresponsive. Making his way to the front of the plane, he realized that the aircraft was in a nose dive, moving at a very fast rate over the open ocean. “At that point, I knew if I didn’t react, we would die,” said Harrison.

Harrison reached over the pilot’s body and positioned his arms over him to grab the controls, slowly starting to pull back on the stick and turn. He did all this just out of common sense. Harrison said that the first moments before he made any communication with ground controls stood out to him as the scariest part of the whole story.

Barefoot in the front of the plane, he placed the headset that the pilot had been wearing on his head, only to discover the cord (电线)was worn and unplugged. From there, he asked the other passenger for his headset and was able to connect. with air traffic control, who guided him on how to safely land. Once they reached the ground, Harrison said he slowly feathered the brakes as they made it down the runway.

When the aircraft finally came to a stop, Harrison said he thanked the man on the other side of the headset before throwing it on the dash of the plane. He said his strongest prayer was “for the guy in the back” while he prayed for the safety of everything that happened.

1. What did Harrison do before boarding the aircraft?

A．He went fishing.	B．He swam in the sea.
