Three weeks ago, Paul Davis was given up for dead．Today, the 24-year-old truck driver is on the road to getting 1 , thanks to the quick 2 first aid of six skilled college student nurses, who were traveling a few minutes 3 his truck and got to him 4 it crashed．
The student nurses were on the way back from a day of medical 5 at a hospital．When they saw the 6 they jumped out of their car．They 7 that Davis was already dead, but they wouldn’t move on without seeing for 8 With the help of three men, they lifted him out．He was bleeding 9 and his heart almost stopped beating．He was obviously 10
One girl found an ice-cream 11 on the ground and made an airway down his throat．Another student held his tongue down．Then a third girl found a towel and 12 down with it on Davis neck to slow the bleeding, A fourth nurse brought a blanket and 13 Davis to warm him up．They kept his legs 14 “We kept talking to him,”Miss Taylor said,“We 15 that the last thing you lose is your 16 ”．
The student nurses kept Davis 17 until he could be gotten to a hospital．There, he was brought out of 18 ．A doctor said that Davis would have choked and bled to death without the 19 of the six student nurses．That is 20 he is alive today．
Before the 1950's, running the mile in under four minutes was considered impossible．Gradually though, times for the mile run did 1 ．By the early 1950's, it looked as though a four minute mile was indeed 2 ．
A British 3 , Roger Bannister, decided to try to break the four minute barrier．The decision to work for this 4 meant hours of painful, boring preparation ahead of him, but to Bannister, the goal was well worth the 5 ．
In December, 1953, his 6 began．It included a series of ten quarter-mile sprints(全速跑)，to be done in sixty seconds each．He 7 himself a two-minute rest after each quarter-mile．By early February of 1954, he had gotten his time down to 8 seconds; this meant a mile．Here Roger reached a plateau(停滞)．He couldn't 9 to get his time for the quarter-mile down to 60 seconds 10 , he and a friend took time away from training to go mountain climbing in Scotland for three days．This 11 was considered quite reckless(轻率的)，since a sprained ankle(扭伤踝骨)could 12 him weeks of valuable training．
However, the mountain climbing 13 gave him the mental advantage he needed．When he 14 training, he ran the ten quarter-miles again; his time was down to 59 seconds for each quarter-mile sprint When 15 day arrived, strong winds were blowing and running conditions were poor．What a 16 decision!Should he run, going for the 17 ?Or, should he wait for the next race, days later, hoping for the 18 to improve?If he did wait, he risked losing his peak physical and mental 19 ．Bannister decided to go ahead．It was the 20 decision．At race time, the wind died somewhat, and Bannister ran effortlessly, the fastest mile in human history－in under four minutes．

When I was in the 8th grade in Ohio, a girl named Helen in my class had a terrible accident．As she was running to the bus in order not to 1 it, she slipped on some ice and fell 2 the rear wheels of the bus．She 3 the accident, but was paralyzed(残疾)from the waist down．I went to see her, in my 13-year-old 4 thinking she wouldn't 5 normally from then on．
Over the years, I 6 and didn't think much about Helen after that．Three years ago, in Florida, my oldest son was 7 by a car while riding his bike, causing a 8 brain injury．While I was looking after my son, a lady who said she was the hospital's 9 worker called．
A short time later, a beautiful woman, in a wheelchair, 10 into my son's room with a box of tissues．After 16 years, I 11 recognized Helen．She smiled, handed me the tissues and hugged me．I told her who I was, and after we both 12 the shock of that, she began to tell me about her life 13 we last saw each other．She had married, had children and gotten her degree 14 she could smooth the path for those less 15 than her．She told me that if there was anything she could give me, it would be 16 ．
Looking at this wonderful, giving person, I felt 17 ．But I also felt the 18 hope I had felt since learning that my son was hurt．From this person that I thought would have no 19 of life, I learned that where there is life, there is hope．My son miraculously(不可思议地)recovered and we moved back north, but I owe Helen a 20 that I can never repay．
