(2017·江西南昌市NCS20170607项目一模)I used to serve as an ocean lifeguard. Whenever possible, I got shifts working the Point known for its massive and natural rip currents(离岸流).

In a shift, I was working Tower 15. Mike was working Tower 17. He phoned me, “I got a couple of kids. I have to give them a warning. Keep an eye on us.”

高中英语专题

As soon as he hung up, he grabbed his life belt. A rip was torn open under these two kids, and they were getting sucked in. All I saw was two small noses moving up and down in the wavy water.

I dropped my binoculars(双筒望远镜) calling, “Double rescue 17—he's out. I'm going.” Mike was already hitting through the surf line. Realizing what happened, the mother was on her feet screaming. At that time, Mike swam sideways out of the rip current into the clear water. Exhausted, the children couldn't move. So Mike's carrying them, one under each arm. Meanwhile, I saw the terror start to flow over her.

She looked at Mike. A kind of panic washed over her as though some new, equally dangerous threat was on her kids' lives. She rushed up to Mike, snatched her kids and walked away. Not even a thank-you.

Mike had a rough upbringing. He had frightening tattoos, and his shaved head showed the scar from a broken beer bottle. I didn't really get along with Mike. But everything he lacked in personal relationship skills, he more than made up for in lifesaving ability.

Having a young son and daughter, I couldn't even imagine the depth of her terror, so I sympathized with her.

Anyway, I promise myself I will never let my own fear or prejudice prevent me from recognizing a real hero.

(2017·东北三省四市教研联合体二模)On April 14th, 2010, my entire life changed in an instant. One moment I was joyfully riding through the sunshine. The next moment, metal, flesh and bones were spreading against the pavement in a thunderous crash. Another cyclist, biking carelessly, had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oncoming traffic.

As if to symbolize the accident that had hit my life, another disaster also occurred on April 14th, 2010. It cost the airline industry $1.7 billion. Ten million travelers were stuck for days. Economics all over the world were disturbed. This was the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull, one of Iceland's many volcanoes.

However, volcanoes are not all bad. In fact, they are necessary. They are responsible for the birth of new earth, and for the creation of rich soil. This eruption gave off 0.15 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere daily. But cancelling 48% of the world's flight travel saved about 2.8 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere, temporarily decreasing our carbon footprint.

Similarly, the accident had badly affected my emotion but it also allowed me to look more closely inside myself and discover things about myself I would never have realized. I learned how not to judge myself for my new limitations.

In 1973, another Icelandic volcano, Eldfell, broke out. Icelanders decided to bomb it with cold water until it froze and chose a different path. After their plan worked, they used the geothermal (地热的) energy for the next 15 years to heat their homes. A good example of life bringing lemons, and making lemonade! One must move on from misfortunes, focusing only on the present
