The Florida sun baked my shoulders as I worked along the I-595 freeway near Fort Lauderdale, picking up rubbish. I paused to  36  the sweat off  my forehead and look up at the cloudless blue sky.“  37  can’t it rain?” I thought. That would   38  things down.
I thought about my  39  , who were probably sitting in an air-conditioned  40  right now. I’d had some problems in school,   41  my parents decided to let me  42  full-time with my dad, We both worked for my uncle, who had taken  43  of a maintenance（道路养护）company. It was up to us to keep the roads  44  of rubbish. The job was  45  and dirty, especially on hot days  46  this. I wondered why I ever agreed to do it.
We continued our  47  route along the I-595,   48  for the overpass bridge. Then I noticed an area where some  49  were broken on the ground. It wasn’t like that before.
“Dad! Pull over! I want to  50  something out.”
I jumped off the truck and rushed to the bridge. Something was telling me to  51  …there wasn’t much time.  52  I saw a Toyota that   53  upside down in the tree. Maybe it was a stolen car that somebody  54  there, I thought. Then, just at that   55  , I noticed something moving. It was a bloody leg poking out of the driver’s side window!
“Heeeelp!”a lady moaned.
