As Andrews was getting ready to board the train, he saw an elderly blind man fall to the tracks (站台).
David Schnair, aged 75, had mistaken the space between two subway cars for a door, while feeling his
way with a cane. Instead of ending up inside the train, Schnair fell off the platform and landed under the
train.
Andrews jumped down to the tracks to save Schnair. He pulled the man to safety. Onlookers immediately
declared Andrews a hero. Messages began to pour in from all over the country. Some people sent checks.
The largest was for $3,000. President called Andrews and wished him a Merry Christmas and a good new
year.
Andrews had been on the subway because he was returning from a job interview. He probably would
have been hired anyway, but all the good publicity (宣传) made it a sure thing.
After about a week of newspaper stories and donations of food, money and gifts for his children, Andrews
faded from limelight. Most people assumed that the story had come to a happy ending, but it didn"t quite
happen that way. Andrews did start his new job, but the company moved to New Jersey. Andrews didn"t
have any way to get to work, so he had to give up. It wasn"t long before he was back to job hunting and
being discouraged again. Few newspapers, however, bothered to tell their readers what happened to Mr.

C. Andrews gained his popularity with the public.

"That"s just ten pounds." he said.
"That"s big enough." Mrs. Parker said.
The butcher worked out the price. "At $4.99 a pound that will be $49.90, please. Would you like me to

with all his books, I thought to myself, " 1 would anyone bring home all his books for the weekend? He
must really be 2 ." As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him, 3 all his
books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt. His glasses went 4 and landed in the grass. He looked
up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes.
My 5 went out to him. So, I ran over to him. 6 I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said,
"Hey, thanks!" There was a big smile on his face.

the way home. I didn"t see him before as he had gone to a private school. Over the next four years, Kyle and
I became best friends.

Therefore he had the 9 to prepare a 10 speech. On the graduation day, I could see that he was 11 . So,
I patted him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you"ll be 12 !" He looked at me and smiled.

himself over the weekend and was carrying his books home. "Thankfully, nothing happened. My friend 18
me from doing the unspeakable."
