"Get out of the plane!" Justin shouted. Teddy and he dropped to the ground…
When Kathy and Victor reached the edge of the meadow, flames of the fire were shooting more than five meters into the air．
Kathy couldn't believe what she was seeing．One glance told her they needed medical attention immediately．She questioned Victor, "Are you able to find someone nearby for help?"
"There are no farmers, nor villagers nearby," he replied．
"I'm a distance runner, and I'll go for help．" Looking at the seriously injured men, Kathy said to Victor, "It may take me several hours to get out．" She started out．
When she was 23, Kathy set a women's record in a Marathon of 42 kilometers．But now she was running the race of life. She had nearly 30 kilometers of hard wilderness to cover to get help．
Kathy had been running for two hours．This was far back into the wilderness．The country path was growing vague．She stopped to take a quick compass reading．Yes, she had run almost for more than 20 kilometers．Her heart fell, her muscle aching．And finally she saw her car in the distance．
She jumped into the car and sped away．She reached a holiday house and called the police．
During the wait, she walked around, relaxing her legs and drinking water. It took almost two hours for a police helicopter to reach her at the trail end．They needed her for one more task．

There was a time when I thought my dad didn’t know a thing about being a good father. I couldn’t 36 him ever saying the words “I love you.” It seems to me his only purpose in life was to say “ 37 ” to anywhere I wanted to go and anything I wanted to do, including getting a 38 . Some parents bought their kids cars when they got their driver’s licenses. Not my dad ---- he said that I’d have to get a job and buy my own.
So that is what I did. I got a job at a very nice restaurant and 39 every penny I could and 40 I had enough to buy my car, I did! The day I brought that car home, my dad was the first one I wanted to 41 to. “Look, dad, a car of my own. If you ever want a ride, I’ll only 42 you five dollars.” I offered with a smile.
“I see,” was all he said.
One day, there was something wrong with my father’s truck. So he needed a 43 to work. The sun wasn’t even up when we left the house , 44 it was already getting warm out. It was going to be a(n) 45 day. As I dropped my dad off, I 46 him, dressed in his work clothes, getting his 47 from the truck (车尾箱) of my car. Watching his sun-weathered face, and even from a distance I could tell there were 48 lines than I ever remembered being there before. I realized how hard my dad works for the family. My father is a cement finisher(水泥修整工).
In that instant, it 49 to me that he actually got down on his hands and knees to sweat over hot concrete to make a living for his family. And he did this day in and day out, 50 hot it got. Never, not once, had I hear him 51 about it. To him we were “worth” it. And never once did he “charge” us for it.
When he closed the trunk, his tools set off to the side, he walked over to my window to 52 me five dollars. I rolled down the window and said “Good-bye, dad. Keep your five dollars. It’s my 53 . Don’t work too hard. I love you.”
His 54 met mine, then glanced away in the direction of his waiting tools, he 55 his throat and said, “Oh, and… me, too.”
