28、【简答题】
据报道：上周周末，荆州长江边，一小孩玩耍时不慎落水，恰巧一大学生路过并下水相救。小孩得救了，该学生却献出了年轻的生命。这名学生救人遇难，当即在网上引发了激烈的讨论, 很多网民纷纷跟帖议论此举值不值得。
请你就此事写一篇英文短文，简述事由，发表个人观点，说明原因。词数100左右。 [25分]

解析：
It occurred to him
    Last weekend, a little child carelessly fell into the Yangtze River in Jingzhou. Just then, a college student passed by and jumped into the water without second thought. The drowning child was saved but the student died. His untimely death sparked off a heated discussion on the Internet over whether it was worthwhile.
    Personally, I think he did the right thing coming to the child’s rescue. However, a reckless disregard for his own safety finally cost him his life. In a way, the tragedy could have been avoided if he had sought help from other people on the spot.
    To be frank, a heroic deed deserves praise, but what really counts is that one shouldn’t put up struggle immediately in case of any emergency but should calm down and find a way out.
