reached the top of the lift, he had disappeared. The men walked toward the source of the scream and found skiers stopped on the slope, pointing to the cable car. And then the friends screamed too. Oh, Richard! yelled Mueller. When Richard had tried to jump off the cable car, his backpack had been caught in the chair, which then dragged him back down the hill. In the process, the backpack belt twisted around his neck, making him breathless. Now Richard39。s body was swinging four feet above the snow. The cable car operator had quickly stopped it, and the friends kicked off their skis and ran toward the scene. They made a human pyramid to try to reach Richard, but the unconscious man was too far off the ground. With the clock ticking, Wilson ran to the ladder of a nearby lift tower. Scared skiers watched as he struggled the 25 feet. After he reached the top, Wilson39。s first challenge was to climb onto the twoinch steel cable that held the chairs. He handled the balance and height bravely, but he knew he could not walk on the cable. Therefore, he calmed down and sat over it and then used his hands to pull himself to Richard quickly. Wilson39。s greatest fear wasn39。t that he39。d fall, but that he wouldn39。t reach Richard. This was life or death, he said. When he reached Richard39。s chair, Wilson swung a leg over the cable and attempted to drop down onto it. But as he did that, his jacket caught on the movable footrest, which was in the up position. The footrest began to slide down, with Wilson attached. But before that could happen, he managed to free himself and reached Richard. Fortunately, the ski patrol (巡查) had gathered below and performed emergency treatment on Richard, who had been hanging for about five minutes, then skied him down to an ambulance. That night, Richard called from the hospital to express his thanks to Wilson, his other friends and the workers at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area.(1)What happened to Richard when he tried to jump off the cable car?

But it can be a terrible experience for those with autistic(自閉癥的)children, who are sensitive to light and noise and usually bee upset and scared. For these families, fear of how their child will react to new situations173。and how others will react to themkeeps them from gaining everyday experiences others get to have. Dr. Wendy Ross was heartbroken to see that. The pediatrician(兒科醫(yī)生)in Philadelphia also knew that separation from the munity didn39。t serve her patients well in the long run. If kids are not in the munity, building their skills from very young ages, then there39。s no reason to expect them to be independent one day, Ross said. It39。s a social disability. It needs to be addressed in a social setting. So in 2007, Ross set out to do just that. Today, her nonprofit, Autism Inclusion Resources, helps families affected by autism deal with challenging social situations, such as sporting events, airport travel and museum visits. Many Major League Baseball teams hold annual 44autism awareness nights, when they take temporary measures such as lowering the volume (音量)on the public address system. But Ross wanted to do more. You can39。t turn down the volume of the world, Ross said. It39。s nice to do it for one night, but our goal is for families to be able to go to a game on any night. To that end, Ross partnered with the Philadelphia Phillies to develop a creative program. She armed all the Phillies players and gameday staff with knowledge about autism and how to interact with individuals who have the disorder. Each family is also provided a clinician at the game who gives additional support if problems arise. She also helps prepare the families for the event. Ross has also found her airport travel program to be successful for families. Using the same principles, she trains airline and security staff at major airports and then guides families through the travel experience, including checking in, going through security and boarding a pla
