DENVER，COORADO——What does it take to be a hero? In the case of five Denver children，it only takes a cry for help．Here’s the story of these five heroes as Gary Lewis， the man they helped，tells it．   

 “I like to work on my old car．It’s my hobby．I wanted to put a new transmission(傳動裝置)in the car．I put the car up on blocks(大塊木頭)because I wanted to get under it．I was trying to get the old transmission out when suddenly the car moved forward and fell off the blocks．It came down on my chest．I couldn’t breathe．

 “I tried to shout for help for about five minutes，but I almost could not breathe．Could anyone hear me? Was I going to die? Then all of a sudden I heard some little children from the neighbourhood．They were running to the car and saying，‘What happened，sir?’   

   “Get help，please．I can’t breathe，I told them．One of the children ran to his house  and to1d his mom to call 911．Then, before I knew what was happening，all of the children were around the car. They used every muscle(肌肉)in their bodies to lift(抬起)the car，and I was able to get out from under it．”

Lewis got out from under the car with just a few cuts．He didn’t even have to go to the hospital．“These children are my heroes．”he says．“I don’t know how they did it．but I am lucky to be alive．”   

Raymond Brown，father of two of the children，is very proud of them．“We try to teach them to do the right thing．This shows we’re doing it the right way，I guess，”he says．

Many people like to travel by plane , but I don't like it because an airport is usually far from  the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. You can't open the windows. You can't choose the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours  to go out of the airport and into the city.
I like traveling by train. I think trains  are safe. Railway stations  are usually in cities. When you are late for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk  around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time. I  also like cars. You can start your journey when you want to, and you don't need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.
