L6 Unit 1-1 Listening
Harry Beecham works for a hi-tech German company based in the Munich.
Last month, he was in an automobile accident.
He was on his way to attend an important meeting in New York City.
He had just arrived on a flight from London and was taking a taxi into the city.
The weather was terrible and the road was icy.
He was in a hurry so he asked the taxi driver to get him into the city as soon as
possible.
The taxi driver agreed and sped up but just as they left the airport, the car was
out of control.
It spun around and skidded into(滑入) the path of an oncoming truck.
Fortunately, the truck was going too fast, so nobody was killed. But the taxi was
severely damaged and both passengers were injured. The taxi driver survived with
only a few injured because he was wearing a seatbelt.
The car accident wouldn’t have been happened had the weather been better.
Had he put on his seatbelt, he might not have been injured so badly.
Had the weather been better, the accident wouldn’t have been happened.
The taxi airbag had also been deployed(使展开), absorbing much of the impact.
However, Harry, who was in the back seat, having put on his seatbelt. As a result,
he was severely injured, and had to be rushed to the hospital.
Now, a month later, Harry still can’t remember much of what happened. When
he first woke up in the hospital, it was several hours after the accident and he wasn’t
sure where he was. The bad news was that he couldn’t move his legs. This was
because his back had been broken in the accident. The doctor later told him that he
might never regain the use of his legs. Some of his nerves in his spine(脊柱) and legs
had been damaged but everything else was OK. Now, Harry is trying to figure out
what to do. If he works hard and exercises every day, there will still a chance that he
legs will recover on their own. There are also some new treatments that might help his
nerve regenerate. Still, he should be prepared for the long recovery and possibility
that he might never walk again. Without the use of his legs, he wouldn’t be able to continue working in the same way. it wouldn’t be possible to travel, so he would have
to find another way to attend the meeting. Either that or he would have to look for
another way to make a living. Harry has a good disability insurance, so money won’t
be problem for a while. But sooner or later, he wants to be able to earns a living again.
Of course he isn’t planning to give up on his legs. If he works hard, he might still be
able to regain the use and learn to walk again. Some of his nerves had been damaged
but there was a chance that they were healed. The new drugs being developed might
make it possible for the nerves to grow back. Still, he has to face the possibility that
nothing will work. Whatever happens, Harry is determined to think positively. Even
he can’t walk, he can still attend the meeting all over the world. With technology, he
could be anywhere and there is much that he can still do. Luckily, he still has to use
his arms and hands and his brain is still functioning. With the right attitude, he can
find a way forward. There is no reason to despair in or feeling sorry for oneself. That
kind of think won’t solve anything. He just hopes that his company or another will get
him a chance to prove himself. He could still be a valuable asset for them, come or
make.
