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.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1

Tim finally noticed a response in the distance.

I was riding my bike to a corner shop in a Saturday morning while I was attracted by a cute boy who was walking his dog. Suddenly my neighbor drives past and honked (按喇叭) at me.

My neighbor saw me to fall, so she stopped her car and rushed out to help her. The worst part was that the cute boy stopped to watch all happen. What an embarrassing but dangerous day！

Last Friday, I rode on my bike home. At a crossing, I accidentally knock an old man off his bike. I hurried over and found his leg was injured. Nervous and worrying, I called my mom and told her that had happened. We took the old man to the hospital at once. The doctor gave him careful examination. To our delight, there was nothing serious wrong with him.

Then, we went back to where the bike was parked. For our disappointment, the bike didn’t work. I immediately got it fixed. The old man got on my bike and we waved goodbye to each other.

The accidents made me realize that we should be careful to avoid get into accidents, but once they occur, we should take responsibility.

8 . An 8-year-old southeast Kansas girl is being praised for her quick, calm thinking. She grabbed the steering wheel(方向盘) and drove the family’s SUV when her mother fell unconscious on their highway ride to school.

Abby Porter and her mom, Shelly, were heading for her school in Riverton when Shelly had a medical emergency. She passed out(昏倒) behind the wheel.

Abby is a second-grader whose father sometimes lets her drive their tractor. With her mother falling down heavily, Abby leaned over and took the wheel. At some point, Abby even successfully performed a U-turn on the four-lane highway, because she was going home to her daddy, according to Galena Police Chief Larry Delmont.

“That was at 8:37 in the morning, and there was a lot of traffic,” Delmont said. Officer Jimmy Hamilton noticed the SUV going about 20 mph and weaving a bit between the two lanes. He suspected someone was driving under the influence. As he got closer, he noticed the woman fell over in the driver’s seat and saw Abby at the wheel.

Hamilton tried to get in front of Abby’s car to slow her down, but she kept switching lanes to avoid bumping into his car. Hamilton got alongside her and told Abby to stop the vehicle, but she didn’t know how. He then told her she needed to bump into him to stop the car, but Abby said she didn’t want to because she was afraid. He convinced Abby bumping into his car was OK.

‘‘I never saw her cry,” Hamilton said. “From just the expression on her face and the tone of her voice, you could tell she was scared. But she stayed with it.”

Emergency crews got Abby’s mother to the hospital, but Delmont said he didn’t know what caused her to lose consciousness.

The police department in Galena, a town of about 3,000 residents about 150 miles south of Kansas City, planned to present Abby with a plaque(匾牌) for “outstanding bravery in a life-threatening situation”.
