While driving home after work, Jane Hodgson noticed a car pulled over at the side of the road and a crowd beginning to gather around someone who was lying on the ground.
Jane, who had completed a first aid at work course, pulled over to see if she could offer any help — and it turned out to be lucky for the young injured girl that she did.
Describing the scene she came across, Jane says: "The onlookers were ashen-faced and looking lost. They were so shocked that they hadn't even thought to call for an ambulance yet."
After speaking to the emergency services, Jane started finding out what had happened and what injuries the young girl called Jenny had. The girl had been hit by a car and gone over the handlebars of her bike, landing on her head and shoulder. Her shoulder and arm were twisted underneath her.
"She hadn't been wearing a helmet when she got knocked down, and I thought that she should not be moved as I couldn't be sure about a spinal injury (脊椎损伤), but after looking her over and checking the circulation in her injured arm I did feel fairly confident that she had escaped relatively unhurt.
"As we were waiting for an ambulance, the amount of pain the girl was in was increasing. To distract (分散注意力) her and minimize the risk of her going into shock I kept her talking. She held my hand tightly when the pain got too much and this helped. I told her I could handle it — we laughed about that," describes Jane.
Later, a doctor from the local hospital's ICU stopped at the scene too. The ICU doctor decided that Jenny should lie on her back, making her much more comfortable until the emergency services arrived.
Thinking back, Jane says: "For me, knowing that in a small way I helped that girl through what was a frightening experience is all the reward I need. I felt great to know I'd made a difference and I'd do it again."
When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very1. Some stories are told 2 they were true. Real people who live in a 3 world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not 4 . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be 5for us.
But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only 6. How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter, we7 seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than8. Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of 9 . When we read or write something, we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our 10--which is real—and our imagination—which is real in a different way — to make the words come to life in our minds.
Both realism and fantasy(幻想) 11 the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read 12realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we13 that we are real and they are14. It sounds 15 , but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and16 about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by 17 that what we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too.
Most of us probably don't think about what is going on in our18 when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose 19 in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel20 we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.
