Question

“Earthquake!” The word flashed in my brain. A roaring sound filled my ears. I tried to hide beneath my desk. The desk did a wild tap dance, slipping and sliding towards the center of the room. I twisted(扭曲) my body and grabbed at the windowsill(窗沿) behind me, somehow kicking free of my dancing chair. I tried to stand. My legs skated away as if on a bucking escalator(彎曲的自動(dòng)扶梯).

My fingers shook, grasped and held the windowsill tightly. Somewhere through the roar sounded the terrified scream of some wounded animals. I looked behind me and tried to steady my gaze on the other kids but the scene was a dizzy nightmare. Some of the class were sitting in the middle of the room, surrounded by chairs and desks. One girl was screaming. A boy was trying to move across the floor to the door in a crazy overarm crawl(肩上爬行).

I cried aloud, “I’m going to die. I’m going to die. Save me, I’m not ready to die, I’m not ready!”

I moved forward on my knees and pressed my face against my clenched fingers(握緊拳頭). Suddenly I realized that the rocking had stopped. Perhaps I wasn’t going to die.
