24、Better to Be Different
Heroic deeds come in all shapes and sizes. Some of them require bravery in the face of danger, others result from a simple act of kindness.
Natalie Fernando was taking her 5-year-old autistic (患孤独症的) son Rudy for a seaside walk when the little boy suddenly broke down.
“My son loves to walk, but he hates to turn around and walk back. We usually try to walk in a circle to avoid this, but on his favourite walk with the boats we have no choice but to turn back. This will often lead to a breakdown, which I can normally handle, but today was too much for him and me,” Fernando explained on her blog.
The walking area at Southend-on-Sea is a very popular walking place in Essex, England. Knowing she and Rudy were drawing attention and that her son’s breakdown might go on for an hour, Fernando was apologetic, but she soon found herself exposed to unfavorable looks and comments of passersby.
That’s when a total stranger named Ian stopped to ask if she was okay. When Fernando explained what was going on, as if it was the most natural thing in the world to do, Ian lay down on the ground close to Rudy and engaged him in conversation.
The calming action quickly turned the situation around. After Rudy recovered, Ian walked Rudy and his mom back to their car.
“I wish there were more of this man around and I am beyond thankful,” Fernando said. “I will not forget his kindness.”
In addition to her gratitude, Fernando hopes Ian’s unselfish behavior might inspire others to look deeper before making social judgments themselves.
“It’s said a lot at the moment, ‘In a world where you can be anything, be kind.’” she wrote. “Words are easy, but these actions are not always so easy. This man is living the words and I couldn’t be more grateful.”
“We’re all walking our own path and directing the journey the best we can. Sometimes it takes a moment of kindness from a complete stranger to completely change your day.”
【1】What was Fernando’s reaction when Rudy broke down?
A.She turned back.
B.She felt very sorry.
C.She gave him a hug.
D.She explained to passersby.
【2】What can we learn from the passage?
A.A stranger helped Rudy calm down.
B.A passerby sat down to talk with Rudy.
C.Ian drove Rudy and mom home safely.
