故事类阅读理解模拟训练 A
It was summer and I was with my new colleagues. I’d graduated from college just two months earlier and relocated (搬家) to Chicago to work there. I barely knew Chicago, but luckily, my co-workers were friendly. We became so close that 13 of us spent a weekend together at the lake and rented a boat.
On our last morning, I wanted to get back into the boat after swimming for a bit. But as I approached it, a force pulled me in. Within seconds, the lower half of my body was stuck between the boat’s propellers (螺旋桨). I reached down as the water around me turned deep red. Instead of feeling the flesh of my leg, my hand touched exposed muscle and bone.
It took nearly 45 minutes for help to arrive. Until then, a few of my friends worked together to keep me alive. The next morning, I woke up in a hospital room. I later learned that when I arrived at the hospital, a team of 20 specialists tried to save my leg, but the damage was too extensive (广泛的). They amputated it above the knee. At least I’m alive, I thought.
One year, six major surgeries (手术), and countless hours of physical therapy later, I began to walk again. I tried my best to be upbeat (乐观的) and positive while relearning to walk, but even the simplest tasks made me frustrated. Sometimes, I just thought “Why me?”
I continue to try to embrace my new life, but I’ve had to make adjustments. I’d actually been training for the Chicago half-marathon before the accident. I still plan to get back into training for it, but for now, I’m just grateful I can walk.
I avoided showing my prosthetic leg (假肢) in public at first, but now, I wear shorts and dresses, whether I’m going out with friends or heading to the office. The only time I don’t wear the leg is in bed.
While my accident may have flipped (颠覆) my world upside down, I’m still me.

When I was a young man, I had a big ego (自负) and very little empathy (同理心). I thought I knew everything. I looked forward to fame and success. I can even remember arrogantly telling one of my friends in college: “If only everyone listened to me, they would all be happy.” I finally left school, ready to take on the world. Little did I know the world was about to take on me.
In the years following college, instead of success, I found struggles. I had trouble finding work. The jobs I did work at were either temporary or back-breaking and none of them paid well. When my wife and I had children, we were shocked to learn that not one but both of our sons had autism (自闭症) and would need to be taken care of for the rest of their lives. I had no idea why this had happened to us and I was very angry with the world.
In time, however, I began to change. My formerly massive ego was shrinking fast and my empathy was beginning to grow. Instead of finding joy in success, I found it in moments of love. Playing and laughing with my sons brought me so much happiness. My boys taught me more about peace, patience, kindness, joy, and unconditional love than I could have ever learned on my own. I began to share the lessons I learned through my writing and my life.
I finally realized that my purpose in this world had nothing to do with fame or success and everything to do with allowing love and light into my life and sharing it with everyone I could.

Police officer Jody Thompson first met his son John in 2015. He was pulling into the car park at the Poteau Police Department in Oklahoma when he overheard a call about a case of physical child abuse. Despite being off duty, Thompson responded to the call.
He arrived at the scene to find a severely underweight boy, who was covered in bruises (淤青) with his wrists tied. The eight-year-old, who weighed just over 25 kilograms at the time, had been left in a dustbin (垃圾箱) full of cold water.
“He didn’t have a spot on his body that didn’t have a bruise. It was the worst thing I’d ever seen,” Thompson said. Thompson drove John to hospital and sat by his side all night as the child recovered in the intensive care unit.
The following day, he contacted the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS) to request he become the child’s foster parent (养父). Within just a few days, Thompson had brought John into the safety of his own home.
“When I’d seen him in that house shivering and his hands tied – just wet to the skin and confused – I knew at that moment, the only time I would be satisfied and sure that he was safe is if he was with me,” he said.
Thompson already had two sons, aged 15 and 18. He didn’t tell his family about his plan at first, but said they had faith he was doing the right thing. In an extraordinary twist, just two days after bringing John into the family home, he found out his wife was pregnant with their third biological son.
And seven months later, DHS called the Thompsons to ask if they wanted to foster John’s newborn sister, Paizly, who was born in prison. They picked her up the next day – when she was just a day old – and brought her straight home. Both John and Paizly were later adopted by Thompson and his wife.
“The example of love that Thompson has shown to this young man and his sister is an example everyone should follow,” Poteau Police Chief Stephen Fruenr said in a statement. “It’s men like Thompson that make me proud of our police force brothers and sisters. I am proud to serve with him.”
