<p class="ql-block">A strong little boy坚强的男孩儿</p> <p class="ql-block">Chicago, Illinois, is next to a big, beautiful lake, Lake Michigan. In the summer </p><p class="ql-block">lake Michigan is warm and blue.</p><p class="ql-block">People lie on the beaches and swim in </p><p class="ql-block">the water.</p><p class="ql-block"> In the winter lake Michigan is cold and gray. Snow covers the beaches and ice covers the water.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">On a cold January day, a little boy </p><p class="ql-block">and his father were playing in the snow on the Chicago beach. The boy was </p><p class="ql-block">Jimmy Tontlewicz. He was four years </p><p class="ql-block">old.</p><p class="ql-block">Jimmy was playing with a sled. He </p><p class="ql-block">pushed the sled down a small hill. </p><p class="ql-block">The sled went onto the ice of Lake </p><p class="ql-block">Michigan.</p><p class="ql-block">Jimmy ran after the sled. He ran onto </p><p class="ql-block">the ice. Suddenly the ice broke and </p><p class="ql-block">Jimmy fell into the cold water.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Jimmy's father jumped into the water. He couldn't find Jimmy. Minutes went </p><p class="ql-block">by. He still couldn't found Jimmy. "My </p><p class="ql-block">kid is dead! My kid is dead!" he </p><p class="ql-block">screamed.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Men from the Chicago Fire Department arrived. Twenty minutes later they </p><p class="ql-block">found Jimmy and pulled him out of the water.</p><p class="ql-block">Jimmy was not breathing, and his heart was not beating, he was dead.</p><p class="ql-block">At the beach paramedics worked on </p><p class="ql-block">Jimmy for one hour. He began to </p><p class="ql-block">breathe, and his heart began to beat </p><p class="ql-block">again. The paramedics rushed Jimmy </p><p class="ql-block">to the hospital.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Doctors at the hospital put Jimmy in </p><p class="ql-block">bed. They put him on a cold mattress </p><p class="ql-block">because they wanted his body to warm </p><p class="ql-block">up slowly. They gave him some </p><p class="ql-block">medicine because they wanted him to </p><p class="ql-block">sleep.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">After eight days in the hospital, Jimmy woke up, but he couldn't walk or talk. </p><p class="ql-block">He stayed in the hospital for six weeks.Everyday he got better. Then he went </p><p class="ql-block">to another hospital. He stayed there for seven weeks. He began to walk, talk, </p><p class="ql-block">and play again.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Jimmy was in the water for over twenty minutes he couldn't breathe in the </p><p class="ql-block">water. He couldn't get any oxygen. But today he is alive and healthy. How is it possible?</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Jimmy is alive because the water was</p><p class="ql-block"> ice cold. Usually the brain needs a lot of oxygen. But when it's very cold, the brain slows down. It does not need </p><p class="ql-block">much oxygen. So the ice cold water </p><p class="ql-block">saved Jimmy.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Jimmy's father has another reason. He says, " Jimmy is alive today because he is a fighter. He is a strong little boy."</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p> <p class="ql-block">Hi Guys, please read&nbsp;story then answer those questions, we’ll talk about it on coming Wednesday, thanks.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">0)&nbsp;Chicago&nbsp;Illinois&nbsp;located&nbsp;where?</p><p class="ql-block">1)&nbsp;Where&nbsp;is&nbsp;Chicago&nbsp;Illinois&nbsp;located?</p><p class="ql-block">1’)&nbsp;Where&nbsp;is&nbsp;Chicago&nbsp;Illinois&nbsp;location?</p><p class="ql-block">2)&nbsp;&nbsp;Where&nbsp;is&nbsp;the&nbsp;location&nbsp;of&nbsp;Chicago&nbsp;Illinois?</p><p class="ql-block">3)What&nbsp;does&nbsp;the&nbsp;lake&nbsp;Michigan&nbsp;look&nbsp;like&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;summer&nbsp;and&nbsp;&nbsp;winter?</p><p class="ql-block">3’)In&nbsp;the&nbsp;summer&nbsp;or&nbsp;winter&nbsp;dose&nbsp;the lake Michigan&nbsp;look&nbsp;different?</p><p class="ql-block">4)&nbsp;What&nbsp;was&nbsp;the&nbsp;little&nbsp;boy&nbsp;who&nbsp;is&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;story&nbsp;doing&nbsp;on&nbsp;that&nbsp;&nbsp;particular&nbsp;day?</p><p class="ql-block">5)&nbsp;How&nbsp;did&nbsp;Jimmy&nbsp;fall&nbsp;into&nbsp;the&nbsp;cold&nbsp;water?</p><p class="ql-block">5’)&nbsp;What&nbsp;made&nbsp;Jimmy&nbsp;fell&nbsp;into&nbsp;the&nbsp;water?</p><p class="ql-block">6)&nbsp;What&nbsp;did&nbsp;his&nbsp;father&nbsp;do&nbsp;after&nbsp;the&nbsp;accident?</p><p class="ql-block">7)&nbsp;Who&nbsp;came&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;beach?How&nbsp;long&nbsp;did&nbsp;it&nbsp;take&nbsp;them&nbsp;to&nbsp;get&nbsp;Jimmy&nbsp;out&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;water?</p><p class="ql-block">8)&nbsp;What&nbsp;was&nbsp;Jimmy’s&nbsp;physical&nbsp;conditions&nbsp;while&nbsp;Jimmy&nbsp;&nbsp;was&nbsp;outside&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;water?</p><p class="ql-block">9)&nbsp;How&nbsp;long&nbsp;did&nbsp;it&nbsp;take&nbsp;for&nbsp;Jimmy&nbsp;to&nbsp;begin&nbsp;to&nbsp;breathe&nbsp;again?</p><p class="ql-block">10)&nbsp;What&nbsp;is&nbsp;the&nbsp;other&nbsp;name&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;paramedics?</p><p class="ql-block">11)&nbsp;Why&nbsp;did&nbsp;the&nbsp;doctors&nbsp;at&nbsp;the&nbsp;hospital&nbsp;put&nbsp;Jimmy&nbsp;on&nbsp;a&nbsp;cold&nbsp;mattress?</p><p class="ql-block">12)&nbsp;How&nbsp;did&nbsp;the&nbsp;doctors&nbsp;make&nbsp;Jimmy&nbsp;sleep?</p><p class="ql-block">13)&nbsp;It&nbsp;took&nbsp;how&nbsp;many&nbsp;days&nbsp;for&nbsp;Jimmy&nbsp;&nbsp;to&nbsp;wake&nbsp;up?&nbsp;And&nbsp;what&nbsp;was&nbsp;the&nbsp;physical&nbsp;conditions&nbsp;once&nbsp;Jimmy&nbsp;woke&nbsp;up?</p><p class="ql-block">14)What&nbsp;happened&nbsp;&nbsp;after&nbsp;that?</p><p class="ql-block">15)&nbsp;How&nbsp;long&nbsp;did&nbsp;Jimmy&nbsp;stay&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;water?</p><p class="ql-block">16)&nbsp;How&nbsp;long&nbsp;was&nbsp;Jimmy&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;water?</p><p class="ql-block">17)&nbsp;How&nbsp;long&nbsp;has&nbsp;Jimmy&nbsp;been&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;water?</p><p class="ql-block">18)&nbsp;How&nbsp;did&nbsp;the&nbsp;ice&nbsp;cold&nbsp;water&nbsp;save&nbsp;Jimmy’s&nbsp;life?</p><p class="ql-block">19)&nbsp;What&nbsp;does&nbsp;Jimmy’s&nbsp;father&nbsp;think&nbsp;about&nbsp;the&nbsp;miracle?</p>
