Influenced by many negative reports，some people usually regard teenagers as lacking a sense of responsibility，concern for others，and awareness of life.To break the stereotype（刻板印象），I'm going to talk about the story of Jordan Rice.
I suspect you've got no idea about who Jordan Rice is.Actually，Jordan Rice was a 13-year-old boy who lived with his mom，dad，and little brother Blake in Toowoomba，Australia.He went to buy school uniform this Monday with his mom and brother.It was around 2 pm，when they were in the car on the way back from the shops.Not an unusual day.
Unexpectedly，a huge flood poured into the area.The water rose high enough to shut off the engine.Unfortunately，they were trapped in floodwaters.Mom got into a panic，and Jordan was frightened because he couldn't swim.No one came to help them out until an old man grabbed a rope，tied it to his body，and jumped into the water.Hopes were growing for the survival of Jordan—the old man was swimming toward him.Instead of seizing the chance，Jordan pushed Blake forward，saying， "Save my brother first."
There was no time for arguing.The old man tied the rope around Blake and carried him ashore.Then he swam back to save the other two.But the strain of the flood and the weight of two people were too much for the rope.It broke and so did Jordan and his mothers' hope.They were carried away by the brown water.Though they managed to hold on to a tree for a little while，they finally loosened their grip and accepted their fate.Being the only survivor of the trip，Blake was reunited with his father to become a family of two.
Jordan Rice was a 13-year-old boy from Toowoomba，Australia.During the destructive floods of Queensland，Jordan Rice sacrificed his life for his little brotjye.air.He is a hero and deserves to be remembered.
