Rocky Lyons was five years old when his mother, Kelly, was driving along the country road with him. He was asleep on the front seat of their truck, with his feet resting on her lap. As his mom drove carefully down the winding country road, she turned onto a narrow bridge. The truck hit a rock and slid off the road. She attempted to bring it back up onto the road by pressing hard on the gas pedal and turning the steering wheel to the left. But Rocky’s foot got caught between her leg and the steering wheel and she lost control of the truck.[ X.JTYJY.COM/]
The truck fell into a 20-foot ravine(峡谷). When it hit bottom, Rocky woke up. “What happened, Mama?” he asked. “Our wheels are pointing toward the sky.”
Kelly was seriously wounded and blinded by blood. “I’ll get you out, Mama,” announced Rocky, who had surprisingly escaped injury. He climbed out from under Kelly, slid through the open window and tried to yank(用力拉)his mother out. But she didn’t move.
“Just let me sleep,” begged Kelly, who was out of consciousness. Rocky insisted, “Mom, you can’t go to sleep.”
Rocky managed to push Kelly out of the truck and told her he’d climb up to the road and stop a car to get help. Fearing that no one would be able to see her little boy in the dark, Kelly refused to let him go alone. Instead they slowly moved up to the road. The pain was so great that Kelly wanted to give up, but Rocky wouldn’t let her.
Rocky kept repeating the inspirational phrase, “I know you can, I know you can.” When they finally reached the road, Rocky broke into tears seeing his mother’s torn face clearly for the first time. Waving his arms and shouting, “Please stop!” the boy stopped a truck. His mother was sent to hospital.
It took 8 hours to rebuild Kelly’s face. She looks quite different today---“I used to have a straight long nose, thin lips and high cheekbones; now I’ve got a flat cheeks and much bigger lips”--- but she has few scars and has recovered from her injuries.
Rocky’s heroics were big news. Everyone was surprised at this little boy’s power. “It’s not like I wanted it to happen,” The boy explained. “ I just did what anyone would have done.” “If it weren’t for Rocky, I’d have died,” said his mother.

I had been playing hockey(冰球)for about 10 years. I was always the one sitting at the end of the bench, and      got into a game. I went to all the      and showed up even when it was so      that your ‘breath froze’ and when the otherplayers had decided to stay home. I felt I had      enough and thought of quitting.
I finally decided to      the news to my mom that I was leaving the team. My mom may have looked like a tiny and quiet lady but on      my words, she said, “Remember, ‘A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.’ Your mother didn’t raise      , so think about yourself in a      way and see yourself as a winner!” So I worked harder than ever at getting in better shape,      my shot(投球) accuracy and changing my      . 
Once in a match, we     our first game badly. What’s worse, one of our best players got hurt. I was sitting at my    place, at the end of the bench, when the coach came over and told me I was going      . I was nervous, excited and terrified all at the same time.
The opposing team was fast and I had to admit I was a little      .  But my mom’s words      out in my head like a church bell. Instead of being afraid, I was “pumped” and I very quickly found that all my      work was paying off.  I was as fast a skater as anyone else on the ice, and I seemed to get the     to score. The crowd went quiet.  All the time I spent on the ice when everyone had  
gone home had    me for this moment.
Won! I won!
The lesson I learned from my mom’s      has stayed with me over the years. I hear them whenever I am faced with a challenge, or whenever I      myself.
