At an early age, Bob was repeatedly told by his mother Markita, “Believe in yourself no matter what happens.” When Bob was 12, his mother traveled with him in a car. Slowly night fell. Bob was asleep in the front seat of the car. As Markita drove carefully down the winding dirt road, she turned onto a narrow bridge. As she did, the car hit a rock and ran off the road, and the right front wheel got stuck. Fearing the car would tip over, she attempted to drive it back onto the road by pressing hard on the gas pedal (油门) and turning the steering wheel (方向盘) to the left. But Bob’s foot got caught between his mother’s leg and the steering wheel and she lost control of the car.
The car rolled over and hit a deep valley. Bob could hardly get his breath back. “What happened, Mama?” he asked. “Our wheels are pointing toward the sky.”
Markita was blinded by blood. She was too painful to move and cry for help. “I’ll get you out, Mama,” said Bob, who had luckily escaped injury. He managed to get out of the car through the open window and tried to pull his mother out. But she couldn’t move. “Just let me sleep,” replied Markita, who seemed to be out of consciousness (意识). “No, Mama,” Bob continued. “You can’t sleep.”
Bob reached her mother and tried to pull her out of the car, but failed. He then told her he'd climb up to the road and stop a car to get help. Fearing that no one would be able to see her little boy in the dark, Markita refused to let him go alone. Instead, Markita did her best to open the door. She moved inches at a time. The pain was so great that Markita wanted to give up, but Bob wouldn’t let her.

7 . Colorado’s Grays Peak rises 14,278 feet above sea level, high enough that trees can’t grow towards the top, though there are plenty of bushes, rocks, etc. It was in this unforgiving place that Bev Wedelstedt was unlucky enough to have a bitter experience.
It was August 2018, and Wedelsted,56, was on her way back down the trail (小路) with three friends. A storm was upon, and they were anxious to get off the mountain. When they approached a rocky drop of a couple of feet, Wedelstedt decided that instead of shaking down on her hip — the safe way to go — she would leap. Then she landed on her left leg and heard a snap (劈啪声).
Every step after that was painful. Before long, she had to stop. As one friend ran down to get help, a number of other hikers, all strangers, attempted to help her down the narrow trail by walking on either side of her to support her weight, but that proved slow and dangerous.
Finally, one hiker, Matt, asked her, “How do you feel about a fireman’s carry?” Before she knew it, he lifted her over his shoulder. Matt clearly couldn’t carry her all the way down by himself. So six hikers and one of her friends followed. Three hours and two mountainous miles later, this human conveyor belt finally met the ambulance men, who took Wedelstedt to the hospital.
Now Wedelstedt has mostly recovered from her ill-fated hike, but she knows she’ll never shake one thing from that day: the memory of the band of strangers who came to her rescue. “I told them I wanted to meet a lot of guys, but this isn’t the way I wanted to do it. I’m still in awe now,” she said.

9 . When I set out to drop my dad at the airport, it was dark and dull. It started to rain on the way. When I left the airport, the visibility wasn’t clear because of the drops of rain. It was before 6 am.
Even though the road conditions were poor, I drove at my normal speed. I was angry with the more cautious drivers ahead of me that were delaying my drive. The exit ramp (坡道) to the highway was a tight spiral (急盘旋). It is a dangerous spot in good weather and totally scary when the weather is miserable or it is dark. But I didn’t want to slow down and arrive home any later than necessary. I drove down the ramp too fast. The road was wet and my car slid, landing face down on the ramp.
I didn’t like to drive by myself at the time and had insisted on taking my husband and son with me on the trip. Thankfully, I was alone in the car. My accident was slight. In fact, I was lucky enough not to have a single scratch. I started to shake when thinking the injuries my son would have suffered had he been in the backseat of that car with no seatbelt when it rolled. After the car rolled three times, I found my mobile phone was lost in a pile of small things that were all lying in the bottom of the car. A lady was kind enough to let me borrow her mobile phone, but without the numbers pre-programmed (预编的), who could I call? I was lucky enough to remember my father’s mobile phone number, and fortunate that he hadn’t yet got on his plane.
You never know when an accident will happen. As a driver, I will keep safety in mind by obeying all traffic laws and have safe-driving habits, especially in bad weather. Insist your children always wear their seatbelts. Life is a journey and everyone should value it and enjoy the ride.
