【正文】 。頓時，鮮血從孩子額頭濺出。 車身猛撞安東尼工作服的后背，把尼龍布都撕破了。但安東尼還是把斯科特完全拉到了自己身下。 凱特奔到停下的火車前，首先看到的便是托德。她的大兒子失去控制，在那兒亂蹦亂跳，大聲哭喊。但凱特看出他沒受傷。她抓過他緊緊抱住。隨后她看見第三節(jié)車廂下一動不動躺著一個人。只見這人身子下面斯科特的腦袋上黑糊糊一片血污。凱特沖過去?！八箍铺兀　彼饴暯械?。 安東尼扭轉(zhuǎn)身子面對著她。“女士，”他對她說，聲音很鎮(zhèn)靜， “回家去。叫警察和救護車來?！眲P特沒聽進他的話，伸著手要抱孩子。安東尼又開口了，口氣嚴厲了許多，“夫人，聽著！回家打電話叫警察——叫救護車，快！” 凱特飛奔回家，打了電話，又通過尋呼機找到她丈夫加里。 第一輛警車到達時，安東尼仍然緊抱著年幼的斯科特。列車員從孩子的哭聲知道他還活著，但斯科特可能有內(nèi)傷，稍一動彈就有可能加重傷勢。因此安東尼堅持讓急救人員先對孩子進行檢查，然后才放手。真是奇跡，斯科特傷勢不重，只需縫十三針。 雪鏟與地面之間只有十四英寸。記者后來問安東尼他在冒生命危險救孩子之前有否猶豫。 “沒有，”他回答道，“我當時所想到的就是那兩個孩子前頭還有整個人生，如果我不采取行動，他們必死無疑。我決不能讓這樣的悲劇發(fā)生?！? 事故發(fā)生后不久，安東尼去普里查德家探望。他還記得他用雙臂抱住托德和斯科特并將兩人舉起的情景。“這讓我想起當時在火車底下我護著他們的情景。再一次抱住他們的感覺是奇特的 ——也是美妙的?！? 普里查德夫婦說，自從第一次來探望之后，安東尼幾乎成了他們家庭的一員。他們還說，現(xiàn)在有道柵欄把他們的街坊與鐵軌隔開了。Content QuestionsPair Work1.
