When looking back at the scary situation that happened to him on Saturday, Patrick Canney said he couldn’t still believe that it was true. It was a situation that could have ended with a tragedy for Patrick, his father and his sister. But it didn’t really happen thanks to Patrick.
That morning, Patrick’s father was driving down busy Interstate 95 in Peabody, Massachusetts. The car started going really slowly, which seized Patrick’s attention. And then he realized that something was wrong. At that point, Patrick found his father was having a seizure (中风).
“It was really scary,” he said. “It was unlike anything that had ever really happened to me.” But Patrick didn’t act scared. He took control of the situation and got behind the wheel of the SUV. He turned the key off and pulled the car over to the breakdown lane (车道). He then stopped the SUV, grabbed a cell phone out of his dad’s pocket and called 911 for help.
Patrick’s 9-year-old sister was in the SUV, too. He told his little sister not to worry about it. Then he opened the door and stood right next to the guard rail. Thanks to Patrick’s description of their location during the 911 call, Massachusetts State Police were able to locate the Canneys within minutes -- and get them all to safety.
“A 12-year-old boy’s clear thinking and decisive action actually saved this family from a tragedy,” said state police spokesman David. “That’s Patrick. He is cool and collected. I couldn’t imagine what would be the result if he were panicked (惊慌失措).”
Patrick’s father was expected to recover fully from the seizure. And thanks to Patrick, all of the Canneys are still alive. “The word hero may be overused in our society,” said David. “But Patrick is surely that -- and then some.”
1.As soon as he found his father had a seizure, Patrick ________.

movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent.
So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying...
Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet. If you
keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter
people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you're
unhappy!
Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are a monitor in class, you
can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously. However, to be friendly in
listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.
Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If
you are at interviews, try to keep them still!
Posture (姿势). A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling down, you
normally don't sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult, which can
make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.
Mouth. When you are thinking, you often purse your lips. You might also use this position to hold back an angry comment you don't wish to show. However, it will probably still be noticed, and people will know you're not pleased.
Face. When you lie, you might put on a false
face. But that expression would crack briefly, allowing displays of true emotions such as happiness,
sadness, disgust (厌恶) and fear to come through.
B. he is angry
C. he is not afraid
D. he is cool
B. keep your head level
C. move your head a little
D. cross your arms
B. Not sitting straight with the shoulders inwards.
C. Having the lips pursed to hold back an angry comment.
D. Keeping the arms to the sides of the body.
B. Body language can express more meanings than words do in communication.
C. We cannot communicate with others without words.
D. It's not polite to use body language in formal communication.
B. Arms tell more than legs
C. Facial expressions tell the truth
D. One simple movement lets slip secrets of mind
