| Three surfers rushed to save a man"s life after he was left drifting on a notorious stretch of water. The men stayed with Greg Popple for 30 minutes and had to be rescued themselves by helicopter as the drama unfolded. The 45-year-old had floated out on a body board near Hutchwns Point at 8:30 am.He found himself in trouble about half-a-mile from the shore and dangerously close to rocks. Surfers Graig Evans, 31, Robert Miles, 19, and Owain Daviees, 23, were risking their own safety to keep him floating for 30 minutes. Luckily a passer- by noticed what was going on and raised the alarm. Porthcawl Coastguard, Porthcaw Lifeboat and an RAF helicopter all took part in the rescue. "The man who got into trouble was a body boarder-there was a big tide where he was," said Joe Missen. "Three other surfers spotted he was in difficulty and he was going down. They kept him afloat because he was in a state of shock and out of energy. If Mr. Popple was closer to the rocks, it could have been a lot worse, but they managed to keep him from harm". Mr. Missen"s mum Alison, also part of the rescue team, said, "That part of the water is notorious for taking people out to nowhere". The three men had clocked off a night shift at Ford Motor Company shortly before the incident. "I headed straight down to the beach for a surf, when I saw him flailing (挥动). We just swam straight out to him and kept him calm while the help came". The four men were taken to the life boat house to recover, without injuries. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Two truck drivers didn"t know each other when they arrived at the scene of a bad traffic accident on Kentucky"s mountain highway last June. Yet they worked together like long-time partners and saved two drivers from near certain death. For their bravery, Terry and Floyd have been named Goodyear North America Highway Heroes for 2003. The award was announced on Thursday at the Mid-America Trucking Show. Terry and Floyd were rewarded $20,000 with a free trip to Nashville. On June 22, Terry and Floyd, driving trucks separately, came across an accident involving a jeep and a car on mountain parkway. The quick-thinking men broke the back window of the upside-down jeep, freed the driver from his seat belt, and dragged him to safety. But the driver of the car was made unable to move with a lot of weight on him inside the car, and the fire from the jeep was spreading dangerously close. "The paint was melting (融化) on the car; it was so hot," recalled Floyd. Terry and Floyd fastened a nylon strap (带子) between Floyd"s truck and the car in an effort to pull it away from the burning jeep. The first two failed. On the third try, the strap held and Floyd pulled the car to safety. Soon afterward, the fire reached the jeep"s gas tank, creating a fireball that took in the area where the car had been located. When rescue people arrived, Floyd, an experienced technician (技师), used the Jaws-of-Life to free the car driver. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| When I was a small child, during the war, we were very poor and we lived in a faraway village. One day, on the road, I found the 1 pieces of a mirror. There was a Garman motorcycle accident. I tried to find all the pieces and put them 2 , but it was not possible, so I kept only the 3 piece and I made it round. I could 4 with it as a toy and became greatly attracted by the 5 that I could reflect (反射) light to dark places where the sun would never shine-in 6 holes and some other dark places. It became a 7 for me to get light into the darkest places I could find. I 8 the little mirror, and, as I 9 up, I would take it out when I had nothing to do and 10 the game, As I became a 11 , I grew to understand that this was not 12 a child"s game but a metaphor (象征) for what I might do with my life. I came to 13 that I am not the light or the source of light. But light-truth, understanding, knowledge-is 14 , and it will shine in many dark places only if I reflect it. I am just a single piece of a mirror whose 15 design and shape I do not know. 16 , with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this 17 -into the black places in the 18 of men-and change some things 19 some people.
