It was just past midnight. The stars were shining across the sky. Nicholas Bostic, a 38-year-old driver, was still out on his evening pizza delivery shift. With his favorite music on, he enjoyed the soft wind kissing his face. A she drove pasta two-story house around a street corner, he was shocked at the frightening sight: It was on fire! He stopped his car and rushed over to assess the situation and to determine if anyone might be trapped inside. He reached for his phone to dial 911, but realized he left it at home. He didn’t hear sirens(警报) in the distance. Nor did he see any bystanders dialing the fire department. Nicholas feared the home’s sleeping occupants might not wakeup in time to move to safety.
With no time to waste, he made the courageous decision to enter the home on his own without protective gear(护具). He gained entry through the back door. He rushed upstairs, yelling “fire!” throughout the home. The oldest child, Seionna, heard his screams and woke up. She woke up her younger sister and a friend who had stayed the night. She then ran to grab her 1-year-old baby sister.
Nicholas called out to the terrified girls and instructed them to follow him. The sister—Seionna, 18; Shaylee, 13; and Kalia, 1―and their family friend, Livian, 13, followed his directions to escape to the safety of the street.
“For a minute I didn’t understand it,” Shaylee recalled. “But my sister ran upstairs with the baby in her hands, yelling at us to get up because there’s a fire. That’s when we went downstairs, and Nicolas was downstairs helping us.”
Once outside in the fresh air, the girls shook in far and coughed from the smoke. However, they soon realized that their 6-year-old sister, Kaylani, had not escaped with them.

The hero in my heart is an ordinary bus driver, who did what he could save the lives on the bus.
In a cold morning, he was driving on the freeway while he had a sudden heart attack. He bears the great pain to brake the bus with perseverance. Finally, he was pulled up on the emergency lane, bring 54 passengers back from the death line. Therefore, he was unconscious and lost his life.
He is a common individual, but did a awesome deed. It is due to his strong sense of responsibilities that he saved lives at that urgent moment. He set a good example to me and what he inspires myself in my life is the spirit of being devoted to others.
7 . More than a century after the Titanic sank in April 1912, few new stories are discovered about the accident. The history of the Chinese passengers who escaped the Titanic has largely been forgotten, even in their homeland.
The average survival rate for men in third class was just one in six. But when disaster struck, being a poor sailor with limited English turned into an advantage for the eight Chinese men on board - and six of them survived.
All eight Chinese men came from southern China. They had previously worked on cargo (货物) ships traveling between China and Europe, and they likely planed to move to the US to start a new life. They boarded the Titanic in Southampton, England, on a single ticket listing eight names. This was a common practice for third-class passengers at that time. Like other unmarried third-class men, they were housed in windowless cabins (船舱).
When the ship struck an iceberg, the men living in the worst conditions saw everything with their own eyes. Freezing water flooded into their living cabins, while on the upper levels, the crew (全体船员) were still reassuring (……安心) first-and second-class passengers that nothing was serious. Relying on their own survival skills, the Chinese sailors would have reacted quickly to leave the ship, especially since they likely did not understand orders in English to stay in their rooms.
Five of the six Chinese survivors made it directly onto lifeboats, while the sixth, Fang Lang, was one of the few lucky people picked up by Lifeboat 14, the only boat to return and search for survivors. He was found floating on a door to which he had tied himself. After he was pulled, freezing, he helped row the lifeboat to safety and was praised for his efforts.
The six men's lucky escape is little -known in China, despite the popularity of the Titanic story in the nation.

9 . I had been in the city for some time and was coming home. I missed my boat and decided to travel on an old ship. I knew that it would not be a comfortable journey but I had no time to wait for another boat.
Hardly had we left the port when I saw the dog Gulliver, the captain’s favourite dog, for the first time. What a big dog it was! I had never seen one that could frighten me so much!
On the third day the ship caught fire. Nobody tried to put it out. The ship began sinking and all the men rushed to the life-boats. I saw no chance of getting away in a boat. Suddenly I remembered there was a life-raft on the ship. I had no time to lose, so I immediately rushed towards the raft and pushed it overboard.
In jumping down onto the raft I hurt myself badly and was unconscious for some time. When I came to, I found there was no sign of a life-boat. Every man who had been on board the ship must have gone down with her. I was the only one who was saved.
Then I saw Gulliver was coming fast towards the raft. He struggled a long time before he managed to get onto it. I wanted to push him back into the water but did not dare to move. The dog shook himself, went to the other end of the raft and lay down. I didn’t dare to sleep that night. I must watch him. In the moonlight I could see his eyes were open. He was watching, too.

10 . Macdonald paused a moment in front of the burning car. Flames six feet tall poured from the engine, the smell of melting rubber heavy in the air. For a few seconds, Macdonald thought about whether the car would explode, killing them both. He thought about how lucky he was to have already just survived a head-on collision between his truck and the red Chevy Cobalt now in flames. Was he ready to risk his life to save the man that he believed could have ended his?
The two-vehicle collision happened at 3:44 p.m. on Monday south of New market. Macdonald was heading to work when he says another car swerved into his lane, hitting him head-on. Soon after the collision, the other driver’s car burst into flames with him trapped inside. Macdonald, 25, came to a decision. He would try to save the man’s life. He ran to the car. The driver’s side door was blocked but the passenger’s door was pushed open by the driver, a 64-year-old man now barely conscious. Hardly noticing the heat, Macdonald opened the door and grabbed the shoulder of the driver’s jacket. He dragged the man about 15 feet before two bystanders came to help him pull the man to a safe distance. Moments later the entire car was on fire.
The police confirmed the other driver was charged with careless driving. Macdonald escaped the crash with whiplash, sore muscles and wrists from the airbag release, and a headache. The other driver received serious but non-life threatening injuries, said the police.
Macdonald is just grateful that both of them came out alive. “I’m just glad I stood up when I was needed,” said Macdonald. “You only get a couple of chances in your life to prove what you are made of.”
