It was a cold winter afternoon. Robert stopped for a moment as he crossed the bridge and looked down at the river below. There were hardly any   36   on the river. Near the bridge, however, almost direct below,   37   was a small canoe (独木舟), with a boy in it. The boy was wearing  38   and shivering (颤抖) with cold, Robert noticed.  Just then he heard a cry, “Help! Help!” The cry   39   from the river. Robert looked down. The boy was   40   the water and his canoe was floating away. “Help! Help!” he called again.
Robert was a good   41  . Taking off his clothes, he  42   into the river. The   43   water made him tremble all over,   44   in a few seconds he reached the boy. “Don’t be afraid,” he said and started to swim towards the river bank,  45   the boy with him. But at that   46   he noticed a large motor boat under the bridge. There were several people on the boat, all   47   in his direction. Robert   48   to swim towards the boat.
“Give me a hand,” he shouted   49   he got near the boat. He   50   up into a row of faces. “It’s funny,” he thought. “They look so   51  .” Silently they helped the boy into the boat and   52   him in a blanket (毯子). But they did not move to   53   Robert.
“Aren’t you going to pull me   54  , too?”
“You!” said one of the men. Robert noticed that he was standing next to a large   55  . “You! Why, we were making a film and you spoiled (破坏) a whole afternoon’s work! You can stay in the water!”

It was my first year teaching in a special needs class, and I wasn’t sure what to expect at our yearly. Special Olympics sports meeting. My   1  had some challenges, from learning disabilities to cerebral palsy(大脑性麻痹).
Mark was one with the latter. Restricted to a   2 , he had to fight his spasms (抽筋) just to control his movements.   3 , he always had a positive attitude and greeted everyone with a huge smile.
His classmates   4  him and always took the time to make sure he was included in group activities, especially Mike, Andy and Lucas, three boys who were good at   5 . Obviously, Mark wanted to be like them, unrestricted by the limitation of his   6  and watching them moving on the playing field seemed to fill him with   7  .
When the day came, Mike, Andy and Lucas   8  well in their sports events, and gave the normally calm audience something to cheer about. Mark sat in his wheelchair on the sidelines,  9   them on.
The final event of the day was the 400 meter race.   10  was invited to either walk or run, according to their ability, around the   11  length of the track.
When Mike, Andy and Lucas reached the finish line, they   12   and turned to look behind them. At the   13   of the crowd, determined not to be left behind, was Mark. All his classmates had   14   him. He was alone on the track with over half the distance left to   15 .
Mike, Andy and Lucas looked at each other, and a silent   16  passed between them. Slowly, they jogged   17  towards their friend, cheering him on   18  he had done for them moments before.
The progress was   19 , but in the end the three star runners and Mark crossed the finish line together to the enthusiastic cries of their teachers and classmates. Seeing the look on Mark’s face as he crossed the finish line, hands upraised and laughing, I came to understand what   20  the Special Olympics, and the determined athletes who compete, so extraordinary.
Years later, I’m still cheering them on.

Friedrich Dobl, a Yugoslav working in Germany, was fed up with traffic jams. At long weekends and holiday times when he wanted to get him quickly he always found himself behind hundreds of other cars moving slowly along the notorious foreign workers’ route through Germany and Austria.
How easy it all was for police and emergency services. A siren, a flashing light? And like magic everyone was out the way. Going home from work one night he passed a garage. And there in front of him was the answer to his problems. An old ambulance(救护车) was for sale. The red cross had been removed. But not the flashing light, and the siren. He tried the light. It flashed magnificently. He tried the siren. That too sounded impressive. He bought the ambulance and opened up for himself a dream world of motoring. It began early in the morning, all his luggage in the back of the ambulance and motorway in Germany looking reasonably clear. Soon, as always, a long line of traffic appeared ahead. He switched on the flashing light and set off the siren. Cars swiftly slowed and pulled off the fast lane. Other cars stopped and drivers waved him ahead to an open road all his own. In record time he crossed the border into Austria. The big bluff was working. Police even waved him through the confusion caused by an accident.
But then the Yugoslav made his big mistake. Until then he had only stopped for petrol. Now he was driving past a real accident, lights flashing , to late realize that it was not another traffic jam as he assumed. They stopped him, and after hearing the story of his ride across two countries fined him 12. 5 pounds.
