UNIT 1 What's the matter?
Bus Driver and Passengers Save an Old Man
At 9:00 a.m. yesterday, bus No. 26 was going along Zhonghua Road when the driver saw an old man lying on the side of the road. A woman was next to him, shouting for help. The bus driver, 24-year-old Wang Ping, stopped the bus without thinking twice. He got off and asked the woman what happened. She said that the man had a heart problem and should go to the hospital. Mr. Wang knew he had to
act quickly. He told the passengers that he must take the man to the hospital
. He expected most or all of the passengers to get off and wait for the next b

But to his surprise, they all agreed to go with him. Some passengers helped
Mr. Wang to move the man ona the bus. Thanks to Mr. Wang and the passengers, the doctors saved the man in time. \don?t wa

ngs about doing dangerous sports. There were many times when Aron almos
t lost his life because of accidents. On April 26, 2003, he found himself in a ve
ry dangerous situation when climbing in Utah
On that day, Aron's arm was caught under a 360-kilorockthatfellonhimwhenhewasclimbingbyhimselfinthemountains.Becausehe could not free his arm, he stayed there for five days and hoped that someone would find him. But when his water ran out, he knew that he would have to do something to save his own life. He was not ready to die that day. So he used his knife to cut off half his right arm. Then, with his left arm, he bandaged himself so that he woul
d not lose too much blood. After that, he climbed down the mountain to find
help.

After losing his arm, he wrote a book called Between a Rock and a Hard Plac
e. This means being in a difficult situation that you cannot seem to get out of
. In this book, Aron tells of the importance of making good decisions, and of
being in control of one's life. His lose for mountain climbing is so great that he kept on climbing mountains even after this experience. Do we have the same spirit as Aron? Let's think about it before we find ourselves “between a rock and a hard place”, and before we have to make a decision that could mean life or death. Unit 2 I'll help to clean up the city parks
