He Saved a Woman’s Life
When a person’s life is in danger, do you know how to give him a helping hand? American teenager Dominic’s answer is yes.
Dominic is a 16-year-old high school student. His family has a restaurant named Victoria’s in his city. Like other children whose parents own a restaurant, Dominic usually spends some hours helping out there after school and at weekends.
One Sunday, Dominic worked like any other day in Victoria’s. After a few busy hours, he stopped to have a meal. He was sitting down to enjoy his cheeseburger when he heard a commotion (喧闹) in the restaurant. Dominic looked up and found a woman was in trouble. The woman was choking (噎住) badly on her food but the people around her were too ▲ to do anything. Dominic ran to the woman quickly. When he saw the woman’s face turning blue from lack of oxygen (氧气不足), he performed the Heimlich (海姆利克氏疗法) right away. He was trained to do that at school.
Thanks to Dominic’s correct act, the food was forced out of the woman’s throat and she was saved. Dominic was praised as a hero after saving the woman’s life. At a young age, he kept a cool head and did what no one else seemed able to do in a life-and-death situation.
