When Ken walked out of his home last Friday he had no idea what this day would hold.

The next thing Ken knew was that 25,000 pounds of steel was on his legs. Since no one was around, he pulled out his cell phone and called 911 _65_ (immediate).

It wasn’t long before the other _66_ (worker) in the shop saw the police cars pulling up to the factory. They ran to the back. Much to their horror (惊骇), they found Ken seriously injured. Ken _67_ (rush) to the hospital where both of his legs had to be removed above the knees. The following day Ken’s boss went up to the hospital to see him. When he asked, “Ken, how are you?” Ken smiled and replied, “Well, I’m _68_ (short) than I was yesterday.”

The other day, I was walking along the street while suddenly an old woman fell down on the snowy road. There were several people pass by, so no one would do her a favor. Some said that it was none their business; some worried that if they helped, they might get to a difficult situation. Seeing that had happened, I called 120 at once. While waiting for the ambulance, I take off my coat to keep him warm. Lucky, the ambulance arrived soon. Having helped the doctors carry the old woman into the ambulance, I felt relaxing.

In my opinion, it is our duty to help those who are in the trouble. Only in this way can we make a better world.
