four, wasnt expecting any trouble on the road last new years eve, when he set off for a ski trip to the bear river mountains with nineyearold daughter mia, fouryearold son baylor, and nineyearold neighbour kenya. andersen had driven through the canyon hundreds of times over the years. the weather was fine，but the higher they drove, the more slippery the roads became. rounding a sharp uturn at mile marker 473, andersen saw a truck that had skated off the road and immediately tapped his brakes. in an instant, the car was sliding at 25 miles per hour towards the shoulder of the highway, then rolling down a steep tenfoot dam towards the extremely cold logan river. as it hit the water, the car tipped towards the passenger side, hesitated, and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river. there was no time to tell the kids what to do. the crash had broken a few windows, and within seconds, the upsidedown car was filled with water. “it was frightening how fast we were completely underwater，” remembers andersen, a softspoken product development manager. “youre thinking, is this how its all going to end？”having lost all sense of direction, andersen began to search the freezing water for the kids. mia had been right next to him in the front seat; now, in the blackness, he couldnt find her. i thought，“if i dont get out, maybe none of us are going to get out.” andersen got out of his seat belt, swam through a broken window, and, deeply and quickly, breathed air at the surface. thats when he saw a group of men, about ten in all, appear at the top of the dam. one after another, they raced down into the water. helping onto safety all the three children, they began to shout at the father, “who else is in the car？” andersen says respectfully,

again, did she regret ignoring her morn, i dont know how to use a computer, she admits. unlike her 1995 autobiography, after all, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). all the money from the book is intended for the juvenile diabetes research foundation (jdrf), an organization she serves as international chairman. i felt there

other, she insists. it doesnt do any good. no one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. sometimes we can make things better by helping others. ive come to realize the importance of
