10.A beautiful girl fell into a city moat (护城河) as a result of a careless step.She was swept by the currents (水流) to a broken fence of a bridge arch (拱门) in the moat,which caught her dress and stopped her for a short time.As the currents were rapid and the water surface is two or three meters below the ground,it would be hard to rescue her and even harder for the rescuer to climb up to safety.None of the passers-by dared to run the risk.
Eventually a young man dived into the moat,attempting her rescue.As a good swimmer,he soon reached the girl and dragged her to the bridge pier (桥墩).The accident attracted a large crowd,and not only came a group of firemen trying to help but also a lot of reporters.One of the latter asked the young man,"What made you run the risk in such rapid currents?"
The young man turned to the girl and gave a loud answer,"It was her beauty."The answer caused a general smile among the on-lookers."Didn't you have any idea of the danger you would come across?"asked the reporter again."Why,"said the young man,"She's so charming that it would be a great pity if she had been swept away by the rapid currents."This time all burst out laughing.
Later that evening,the TV news ran an item about the rescue.They showed the scene of the rescue itself,the saved girl full of gratitude and people's praise for her heroic rescuer.But the young man's interesting answers were missing,not to be heard.
