心灵鸡汤精选An Accidental Discovery

【文章梗概】大风的二月，我在接女儿回程中发生严重的车祸，但是幸运的是，女儿和我安然无恙，尤其是女儿毫发未损。并且还得到一块上帝送出的石头。另外那辆车子里母亲因为此次车祸而及时发现自己患上了肺癌。最后还发现那位母亲走那条路线是临时确定的。我不禁感叹：真巧呀！

I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way, we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of

value.

~Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

On a blustery afternoon in February, I decided to leave a few hours early to pick up my three-year-old daughter from her dad’s house. The trip was forty-five minutes each way, and I didn’t want to risk the weather getting any worse.

The roads were slick, and the visibility wasn’t great, but we were toasty in the car, listening to music and chatting about her weekend. When we reached the edge of our little village, I began to feel a bit tired. We were only about six miles from home, though.

The next thing I remember was the horrific sound of screeching metal and bursting glass. There was an explosion of screams and confusion. And the smell of burning.

Before I knew what was happening, I was being yanked out of my seatbelt. “Your child. You need to get her out. The car could catch on fire. Get her out now. You need to move now!” I was fumbling with the handle in shock. When I finally got the door open and saw my daughter’s red face twisted up in terror, I snapped into reality enough to get her out of her car seat and hold her close.

“I’m okay, Mommy, I’m okay,” she repeated through sobs, her body tense, and her knuckles digging into my sweat-soaked shirt.

We were ushered into a van, along with the woman and her six-year-old son who had been in the vehicle we hit. I trembled uncontrollably as we waited for an ambulance. When the officers and EMTs arrived, they flooded me with questions — none of which I could answer. I didn’t know what had happened. Did I fall asleep? I had been tired. Did I slip on black ice? The roads were slick. “I don’t know” seemed to be the only thing I could muster.

According to the police, the collision was so severe that nobody should have survived, let alone walked away.

The EMTs explained that the entire front passenger side of my car was gone. Since my daughter was in the back on that same side, she was closest to the point of impact, yet she was completely unharmed. She didn’t even have a scratch. On the other hand, I was pretty bruised, but opted to be driven home rather than go to the ER. We’d been through enough.

About a week later, ready to get back on the road, I scheduled a rental car service to pick us up at home. I brought my daughter’s car seat out into the sunlight to examine it for cracks or any other signs of damage. I tipped it over, lifted the cushions, and went over every inch. It looked fine, so I decided to continue using it until I could get a new one.

The rental car company was late at this point, so I made a quick call reminding them about my pickup. I wandered down the driveway a bit, and when the call ended, I headed back up to where my daughter was standing next to her car seat.

She had something clenched tightly in her fist. “What do you have?” I asked. She opened her palm, revealing a smooth, polished stone. When I looked closer, I realized it had a large cross etched in black in the middle of its surface.

“Where’d you get that?” I asked.

She pointed her chubby, little toddler finger to the car seat and said, “Right there in my seat.”

I was perplexed. I had just examined this seat minutes before — surely I would have seen a stone that was larger than a golf ball. Why didn’t it fall out when I turned over the seat?

So again I asked, “Seriously, honey. Where’d you get that?”

And in her small voice, she explained, “God gave it to me so I won’t ever be scared in the car. And it will protect us if we get in another accident.”

We hugged for a long time, giggling about how lucky we were to get a rock from God. We took it with us in the rental car that day. And when we got our new car, we made a spot for it right up front under the dashboard controls.

In the meantime, I couldn’t stop thinking about the family we’d hit. I found the woman’s name in my accident report paperwork and hunted down her address. I wrote her and her family a card, expressing my confusion over what had happened, my gratitude for their lives, and my strong belief that our paths had crossed for a reason. I hesitated before tossing it into the mailbox, but sent it just the same.

A year later, while perusing my Facebook newsfeed, I stumbled on a story that caught my attention. The article was about a young woman who was diagnosed with lung cancer after a car accident sent her to the hospital. The article said that she was driving her son home from his ski lesson at a nearby mountain and she decided to take a different route than usual because of the snow. Then her car was hit by a white SUV driving straight at her in her lane.

I blinked back burning tears as I realized that white SUV was my car. I gulped and continued to read.

The boy had a concussion and a broken arm, and the mother agreed to have a scan because she felt some whiplash. What happened next was a shock. The scan revealed that the woman, who had never smoked a day in her life, had a mass on her lung — stage IIIa lung cancer. She was only forty years old and had no symptoms. She would not have started treatment at that stage if it weren’t for the accident. She shared the card I had sent to her with the reporters covering the story, including this section:

I believe that everything happens for a purpose. I’ve yet to find out why our paths had to literally cross the way they did, but I am confident that it will be made obvious in time.

拓展练习读后续写

阅读下面的材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Cathy, my mom, whose pet phrase (口头禅) was “Never give up”, was our family’s beacon of positivity. It was not a title she earmed without concerted (一致的) effort, however. When she was only thirty years old, her husband was killed in a car accident and she was left to raise me alone.

My mom could have lived under a black cloud. Instead, she challenged herself to find joy every day. Leading by example, Mom taught me just how much one could accomplish with a positive attitude. She has taken the same approach in her relationship with her grandchildren-Max and Charley.

One hot summer afternoon, my mom and her two grandsons, having spent two hours building sand castles and collecting sea shells on the beach, sank into their beach chairs to have a rest. How they longed for delicious ice cream to cool themselves, especially the two kids!

Suddenly, my mom heard the familiar loud clang (叮当声) of the ice-cream man’s bell from her beach chair. She turned quickly and saw him briefly, spotting his distinctive green shirt and catching the gleam of his waving bell before he turned and disappeared over the dunes (沙丘).

Happily, the ice-cream man’s visit was a daily occurrence at the beach, although the lag time between the sound of his bell and the departure of his truck was not long. One must be quick enough to catch him to buy the ice cream.

Max and Charley were in great disappointment when they didn’t catch him in time that day because they really wanted to have a taste of those cool ice-creams. That was until my mom’s eyes sparkled and she said to the kids, “Never give up!” She explained to the kids that the truck might be gone, but they should be able to catch him up at its next stop. And the kids agreed immediately.

注意：

1,续写词数应为150左右：

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Paragraph 1: So Max and Charley, accompanied by my mom, began their mission.

Paragraph 2: Max and Charley, encouraged by my mom, ran another three blocks.

拓展练习读后续写参考范文

So Max and Charley, accompanied by my mom, began their mission. Max tried his best to lead this running team. Again, they heard a slight clang of the ice-cream man’s bell! “Be quick, Charley! The ice-cream might be over there!” Max yelled happily. Unfortunately, as they kept running, the sound gradually disappeared. So exhausted as they were, the two grandsons stopped, wiping the sweat from their faces. “Dear, never give up! Maybe the man who heard our yell is waiting for us at the square!”, my mom kept running.

Max and Charley, encouraged by my mom, ran another three blocks. Just as my mom had predicted, the truck was parked at the square, where several kids were queueing for ice-cream. When it was in their turn, Max said loudly, “Three ice-cream Sir!” Later, they sat down under the shade of a tree. Scoop by scoop, they enjoyed the most delicious ice-cream in the world. Also, it was from this experience that Max and Charley were taught the lesson of persisting and never giving up.
