One night last February, a seventeen-year-old Duffy drove home along a winding road, he saw a strange light thrown against the tree. “I knew it wasn’t the moon”, he said. “I drive this road all the time and I notice little things out of place.”
Duffy stopped his car and got out to examine. Below him far down in the deep valley lay a broken car with its headlights on. Thirty minutes earlier, a man had driven off the edge of the road, which has no guardrail. His car fell and rolled end over end, landing on its top more than two hundred feet below.
Duffy rushed to call for help, then returned and got down to reach the injured driver. Snow covered the valley and the temperature was below freezing. After struggling back up the cliff, Duffy took off his jacket and shirt and wrapped the injured man in time, along with the blankets from his car.
Life-saving deeds are starting to become usual action for Duffy, the oldest of seven children. When he was 12, he saved his ten-year-old brother from drowning. Two years ago, his three-year-old sister ate rat poison, and Duffy cleaned out her mouth, make her drink milk to protect her stomach and called doctors.
“We have tried to teach the children good values, and it looks like we have got some reward for it.” His father says.

This is a true story from Guyana. One day, a boy took a piece of paper from a box. He made a paper ball and pushed it into his nose. He couldn’t get it out. He ran crying to his mother. His mother couldn’t get the paper out, either. A week later, the paper was still in the boy’s nose. His nose began to have a bad smell.
So his mother took the boy to a hospital. The doctor looked up at the child’s nose, but she couldn’t get the paper out. She said she had to cut the boy’s nose to get the paper out.
The boy’s mother came home looking sad. She didn’t want her child to have his nose cut. The next day she took the boy to her friend Sidney who lived in a house with an old lady called May. May wanted to see the child, so the child let her look up his nose.
“Yes, I can see it,” May said. “It will be out soon.”
As she spoke, she shook some black pepper on the child’s nose. The child gave a mighty sneeze and the paper flew out. His mother was surprised. May told his mother to take the boy to the seaside for a swim, for the salt water would go up his nose and stop the bad smell.

Nowadays, any traveler might be treated as a terrorist(恐怖分子) by the immigration(入境) officers in the USA.We returned from Iraq and landed safely. My heart 16 when I was asked to the back room by the immigration officer. My 17, with his very American last name, had no trouble at all. In fact, I am 18 American born and raised, but they weren’t quite ready to let me in yet. The only reason was 19 they thought my name looked like the one of 20 who’s on their wanted list(通缉令) and I had to wait till they checked me out 21 Washington.
Time passed 22. One hour, one hour and a half…I could not wait any longer and 23 my cellphone out to call the friend I had planned to meet that evening. An officer 24 over. “No Phone!” he said, “For all we know you could be calling terrorists and giving them 25.”
Oh, my! I was just a university professor. I had no 26 but to put my phone away. My husband and I were getting hungry and 27. I wanted to cry, to 28 onto a chair and shout: “I am but an American professor!”
After two hours in the back room, without explanation and 29, I was allowed to go after he gave me a piece of paper with a(n) 30 on it and told me I could write to the department if I wasn’t 31 with the treatment. He also 32 that nothing could stop it from happening again.
I shared my experience with my friends and the 33 was I should change my name. But name is personal, like the town you were born in.
Even though I had a troublesome experience at the airport, which made me realize being American could ever be so 34, like my father, I’ll keep the 35.
