The Florida sun baked my shoulders as I worked along the I-595 freeway near Fort Lauderdale, picking up rubbish. I paused to 36 the sweat off my forehead and look up at the cloudless blue sky.“ 37 can’t it rain?” I thought. That would 38 things down.
I thought about my 39 , who were probably sitting in an air-conditioned 40 right now. I’d had some problems in school, 41 my parents decided to let me 42 full-time with my dad, We both worked for my uncle, who had taken 43 of a maintenance（道路养护）pany. It was up to us to keep the roads 44 of rubbish. The job was 45 and dirty, especially on hot days 46 this. I wondered why I ever agreed to do it.
We continued our 47 route along the I-595, 48 for the overpass bridge. Then I noticed an area where some 49 were broken on the ground. It wasn’t like that before.
“Dad! Pull over! I want to 50 something out.”
I jumped off the truck and rushed to the bridge. Something was telling me to 51 …there wasn’t much time. 52 I saw a Toyota that 53 upside down in the tree. Maybe it was a stolen car that somebody 54 there, I thought. Then, just at that 55 , I noticed something moving. It was a bloody leg poking out of the driver’s side window!
“Help!” a lady moaned.
