1 . Chase Poust is a 7-year-old boy. He and his dad Steven, and his 4-year-old sister, Abigail were out for a family boating trip on Florida’s St. Johns River near Mandarin Point. Chase and Abigail were swimming at the back end of the anchored boat while Steven was on deck (甲板) fishing.

It was an idyllic (悠闲的) outing — until a strong wave came. It was too strong for Abigail to hold onto the boat. Instantly realizing his sister would be swept away, Chase let go of the boat as well to try and reach her.

Steven jumped into the water but after realizing he couldn’t keep up with both kids, he was faced with a hard decision. “I told them I loved them because I wasn’t sure what’s going to happen,” Steven told News-4 JAX. “I tried to stick with both of them. I wore myself out. She drifted away from me.”

Directing Chase to swim to shore for help, Steven stayed behind, keeping as close as he could to Abigail as the life-vest that was keeping her above the waves floated further and further from his reach.

It was a tough go for the 7-year-old, but rather than attempting to swim all out, Chase wisely paced himself. Stopping to float or dog paddle when he was tired, he’d rest and then set off again. It took Chase an hour to reach the shore. Once on solid ground, he ran to the nearest house and called for help.

Rescuers arrived soon to search for Steven and Abigail. Miraculously, the two were found and rescued about an hour later-more than a mile away from the family’s abandoned boat.

3 . There was a pretty strict system of segregation (种族隔离) in Atlanta. As a Negro child, I couldn’t go to the so-called white schools, any public _________, or a lunch counter to buy a hamburger in many of the stores downtown. I couldn’t _________ any of the theaters.

I had _________ hating not only segregation but the cruel acts that grew out of it. I had seen police brutality (残暴行为) _________ my own eyes. I can also remember the organization _________ as the Ku Klux Klan. It stood out white supremacy, and even used violence to _________ segregation and keep the Negro in their place. These things did _________ to my growing personality.

In my late childhood and early adolescence, two incidents happened that had a _________ effect on my development. One day my dad and I went to a store and took the front empty seats. Then a young white clerk came up and murmured politely: “I’ll be happy to _________ you if you’ll stand up and go to those seats in the back.” Dad immediately retorted, “There’s nothing wrong with these seats. We’re quite ____________ here.” “Sorry,” said the clerk, “but you’ll have to ____________.” “We’ll either buy shoes sitting here,” my father retorted, “____________ we won’t buy shoes at all.” So he led me out of the store. This was the first time I had seen Dad so furious. As we were walking down the street, he muttered: “I don’t care how long I have to live with this system. I will never accept it.”

I also remember riding with my dad another day when he ____________ drove past a stop sign. A policeman ____________ up to the car and said: “All right, boy, pull over and let me see your license.” My father instantly retorted: “Let me make it ____________ to you that you aren’t talking to a boy. If you persist in referring to me as a boy, I will be forced to act ____________ I don’t hear a word you are saying.” The policeman was so ____________ in hearing a Negro talk to him like that. He nervously wrote the ____________ and left the scene as quickly as possible.
