1In seconds,lunchtime in a school cafeteria could have turned into tragedy if it weren't the quick action of an 8-year-old child.

2Garrett Brown is a third-grader at Lakeview Elementary School in Norman,Oklahoma.He and his friends were eating chicken nuggets(块)for lunch when his classmate Cashton York started to choke.When Cashton couldn't breathe,his classmates jumped up to alert a teacher.

3Music teacher Jordan Nguyen was on lunch duty that day.She recalled hearing a commotion (骚动) and seeing the kids running towards her,but by the time she reached Cashton's side,the emergency was over.Instead of panicking,Garrett had leaped to his feet to help his friend.

4“Instead of shouting,he jumped to the other side of the table,went behind Cashton and gave him first aid,and it only took about two thrusts（猛推）and he was able to dislodge the food,”Jordan recalled.“By the time I reached Cashton,the food had already been out and he was breathing again.”

5Then Cashton was taken to the school nurse and to everyone's excitement,he was fine.After arriving,his parents began to take care of Cashton,and Garrett returned to the cafeteria to get a new plate of nuggets!Meanwhile,Jordan and the other staff members were left in a state of shock.

6“When it was done,we all took a breath and thought,‘Did that just happen?Was that for real?’”said Jordan.“And we had to go back and watch the security footage just to be sure that‘Oh,that is what happened.Oh,my goodness.’”

7Garrett later revealed that he'd once been choking and his dad saved him.His father then taught him how to save someone else if they needed help.

8The school thanked Garrett for his lifesaving action with a special ceremony and“Hero Award”certificate.The Norman's fire and police departments came to honor a fellow hero,and Garrett was filled with pride.

2.“Instead of shouting,he jumped to the other side of the table,went behind Cashton and gave him first aid,and it only took about two thrusts and he was able to dislodge the food,”Jordan recalled.乔丹回忆道：“他没有喊叫，而是跳到桌子的另一边，走到凯什顿身后，对他进行急救，只猛推了两次，就把食物逼出来了。”

【点石成金】本句中，Jordan recalled 是主句，引号里面是直接引语。该直接引语是一个并列句，jumped、went 和gave 是第一个分句的并列谓语，第二个分句也是一个由and连接的并列句。
