Unit 2　Heroes 【美文阅读】　 为了欣赏大山的美丽风景，作者带领一家人去徒步旅行。途中发生的一次意外让作者成为了孩子们心目中的英雄。 There are too few times in life that stand alone and above all others, and days that will never be forgotten.This was one of those days, a day when on a hike，I became my childrens Hero.This event happened the first summer after moving to the mountains of Colorado. Wanting to enjoy the beauty of the mountains，my wife and I planned a day hike to the Browns Creek waterfall.The kids were excited, a day hike，especially a day spent with Dad (not enough of those as I look back)． Our hike would take us up the Browns Creek trail and after about 3 miles the waterfall would be on our left, at least that is what I was told.Then the trail took us through a beautiful grass land and across the creek a couple of times. We decided to turn back before reaching the waterfalls，mostly because we were tired and still didnt know how much further it was.While cross -ing the creek by walking on a downed tree trunk，our little Izzie fell into the creek and immediately started moving up and down in the water. Immediately，I jumped into the river.I managed to grab her and push her to the river bank.But now，I was the one in need of being rescued.I thought this might be the end and I wasnt sure if I could hold on.Then，I heard the familiar voice of the love of my life, my wifes voice. She shouted something like—Stand Up！With the last bit of strength I could gather，I stood, and walked out of the raging river.The kids showed little concern for my well-being(安康)；they were attending Izzie，now safe in their arms.But I did hear one of the kids say：Thanks Dad，for saving Izzie.Youre our Hero! 【诱思导学】　 1．When did the author and his family go on a hike? ________________________________________________________________________ 2．Who helped the author out of trouble? ________________________________________________________________________ 3．In childrens eyes，what did they think of their father? ______________________________________________
