1. Because when he once hopped from the highest diving board at the pool, he hit the water with an incredible impact and blacked out.
2. No, they couldn' t. Because with the water's tow, they' d never get to the drowning boy.
3. Because nobody except Jason saw that going out onto the jetty, which was close to the boy, was the fastest way to reach the drowning boy.
4. Because his fear of water suddenly struck him.
5. He felt like he was back in that pool, breathless, struggling, terrified.
6. The boy popped back up, eyes wide with terror, pawing and twisting against Jason.
7. No, it wasn't. At first when Jason swam against the rip current, it was forcibly dragging them out to the sea. Then he decided to swim sideways to the pull of the current and slowly made their way back to shore. Finally he made his way back to safety.
8. Because Jason had already conquered his inner fear of water and he also felt relieved and delighted when he saw the boy was hugged tightly by his mother.
美国梦是_合众国的民族精神。该词有各种各样的用法,但其根本 含义是,在美国任何人都可以通过努力获得成功,都有可能过上幸福而成功 的生活。许多人对美国梦的概念加以拓展和提炼,涵盖了像自由、自我实现 和深厚的人际关系等方面的内容。美国梦的思想比美国本身更为久远,可以 追潮到17世纪,当时的欧洲移民面对这一新发现的、未经开发的广豪大陆, 开始纷纷怀揣希望,追逐梦想。随着历史的发展,美国梦的含义也已改变, 既包含了个人元素,也包含了全局视野。但并不是每个人都对美国梦持肯定 态度。一些人认为美国的社会结构决定了不是每个人都能拥有这样的理想目 标。批评者常常举以实例,揭露植根于阶级、种族、宗教和民族的不平等现 象,指出美国梦并非每个人都可企及。

Realizing the great national rejuvenation, which we define as the Chinese Dream, has been the greatest Chinese expectation since modern times. It basically means achieving prosperity for the country, renewal of the nation and happiness for the people, thus ensuring that every enterprising Chinese carries, generation after generation, the firm conviction that a better life is accomplished through persistent effort. People should achieve their prosperity through diligence, courage, creativity and determination instead of aid from society or other people. Each individual is a participant and a designer in the cause of realizing the Chinese Dream, for it is a dream not only for the entire nation but also for every Chinese.
A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the car's side door! He slammed on the brakes and drove the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry executive then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car, shouting, _What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?_
The young boy was apologetic. _Please mister ... please, I'm sorry ... I didn't know what else to do,_ he pleaded. _I threw the brick because no one else would stop ..._
With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the boy pointed to a spot just around a parked car. _It's my brother,_ he said. _He rolled off the curb and fell out of the wheelchair, and I can't lift him up._
Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, _Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me._
Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out his fancy handkerchief and gently cleaned the boy's fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be OK
_Thank you and may God bless you,_ the grateful child told the executive.
Too upset for words, the man simply watched the little boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home. It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message: _Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!_.
