It was the scene from every parent’s worst nightmare when 8-year-old Rihaan was left lying in the middle of the road, with his bike bent beside him as the car that struck him stopped suddenly. Being hit by the car badly made him lie there.

On hearing the loud bang, my husband, Ashish,    1    was a librarian, desperately ran down the driveway, picked his limps on up into his arms and carried him inside. Seeing Rihaan was    2    (constant) bleeding from his head, legs and arms, my husband and I were both terrified and almost in despair.

I called triple zero. But I was too shocked     3    (speak) .Young Aarush, Rihaan’s brother, was obviously aware     4    the situation and took over the call, communicating key information to emergency services. At that time, it was quite    5    (suit) for him to do that. Then, he dealt with the wounds appropriately. He quickly took clean towels to put on Rihaan’s wounds. When    6    (notice) his brother’s eyes wide with fear and tears falling down his cheeks, he tried to comfort him.

After a short time, an ambulance and police arrived,    7    the professionals could deal with the injury. Rihaan was taken to hospital. Scans showed he was concussed (脑震荡) but to our     8    (relieve), according to the doctors’ careful analyses, they draw a conclusion that he had broken no bones.

“He     9    (throw) 7 meters high in the air.” Ashish recalled. “And wearing no helmet (头盔), he was very lucky because the driver was not speeding.

With Rihaan recovering well, it meant the focus turned quickly to his brave brother. After the accident the operator who took Aarush’s call, Nick Smith, nominated (提名) him for a Junior Triple Zero Hero award.

“But I’d quite like a medal too,” Rihaan, said cheerfully a few days later. “I suffered all the pain and then he got the award as    10    result!”

One sentence from the news in Washington     1     (remain) in my mind since a trip last summer: When you see people run against the crowd     2    (escape) from the danger, they are     3     (probable) firefighters, police or journalists.

I think this is most true for the firefighters. Whenever or wherever     4    (disaster) happen-9/11 Attacks in New York 19 years ago or the explosion in Tianjin on August 12, 2015—it is always the firefighters     5     take the lead to run to the very center, saving lives by     6    (risk) their own. I cried today near the explosion site, not because of the smoke from the ongoing fire but because of a short message a firefighter sent to a trusted friend that went viral online. It reads, “If I cannot make it, my father is     7    (you) father;and please remember     8    (sweep) my mother’s tomb.” I was thrilled later to learn that he did make it.

“Eveyone knows it’s     9    (danger) to be a firefighter. But he has always liked it and has done it for 12 years,” his father said, “He survived this time, but no one knows     10     will happen next time.”

Two men were walking on a path in the mountain     1     it cracked below their feet, leaving them     2     (stick) at the top of what remained.

When the rescue party arrived on the scene, one man     3     (seat) at the top of the steep slope while the other was lying down on the rocky ground below, holding onto his friend’s leg.     4     the time rescuers arrived, he had been holding on to his friend for 45 minutes.

The helicopter,     5     came to their rescue, flew about 100 feet above the two men     6     (avoid) removing any of the ground. The two were not only on unstable ground, but one of them was holding the other. Therefore, the rescue work was very difficult. The rescue workers had to be extremely careful as the conditions underfoot were just too     7     (predict).

One of the rescue workers went down on the wire from the helicopter and managed to quickly secure a rope around the     8     (low) of the two men, before lifting him to the aircraft. The same procedure was repeated for his walking partner.

The two walkers raised     9     alarm at 11:05 a.m. on Sunday and were rescued within one hour or so. Neither of them was injured but they were left “very shaken” by the experience. Both walkers were said to be experienced and well     10     (equip).

When a light passenger plane flew off course some time ago, it crashed in the mountains and its pilot    1    (kill). The only passengers, a young woman and two baby    2    (daughter), were unhurt. It was the middle of winter. Snow     3    (lie) thick on the ground. The woman knew that the nearest village was miles away. When it grew dark, she changed a suitcase    4     a bed and put the children inside it,     5    (cover) them with all the clothes she could find. During the night, it got terribly cold. The woman kept as near as she could to the children and even tried to get into the case     6     (her), but it was too small. Early, next morning she heard planes passing overhead and wondered     7     she could send a signal. Then she had     8    idea. She stamped(踩) out the letters ‘SOS’ in the snow.    9    (Fortunate), a pilot saw the signal and sent a message by radio to the nearest town.     10    was not long before a helicopter arrived on the scene to rescue the survivors of the plane crash.
