A train was coming into the station. It was a ________moment, and an accident seemed to be about to happen. The young man’s life was going to be in danger if the train did not stop. Everybody on the platform was very worried about the young man as his life could be gone in a few________ .

But Mr. Brown stayed calm. He looked at the man, and looked at the space that the man was in. It was about half a meter ________ . He thought to himself, "The train is going to travel over the man. If he tries to get up, the train will definitely kill him. However, the young man will be OK if he lies on the ground and doesn’t move." At this time, Mr. Brown knew he had to make a tough ________ , and it would be very important for this young man.

Without further hesitation (猶豫), Mr. Brown jumped onto the track. He ________ on top of Mr. Wilson, and kept him down on the ground inside the subway track. The train driver saw both of them.

In a radio interview, Mr. Brown was asked why he was so brave when the accident happened. He ________ said, "My coat got dirty but that’s it."
