It was early in the morning, on a lonely road. It's 36   heavily. A 9-year-old boy was in the car with his mother, who was 37   him to school. Suddenly, the car went off the road, 38 several times, and came to rest upside down in a ditch (沟渠) filled with water.
Luckily, both the mother and son were 39   seatbelts. The mother suffered a blow to her head and was unable to move. The boy was frightened but 40  . As water came through broken windows in the car, he 4 1   unbuckled (解开) himself, climbed out of the 42   window, made his way around to the driver's side, and reached inside the 43  to free his trapped mother. With great effort, he managed to 44   her, pull her through the window and up to the road, where they were soon 45  .
His mother later recalled her experience of the 46  . Being unable to move or even 47   to offer instructions (指导) or encouragement to her son, she was  48   by her little son's action. She recalled  49   her boy saying out loud as he pulled her through the water, “I think I can, I think I can!”

He had 53   and took action. Obviously this book had left a 54  impression before the accident that rainy 55   and motivated (激励) the son to take action if the terrifying moments.
