Suddenly all the lights on that crowded underground train went out. Then it stopped in that dark tunnel(隧道).

We waited. We expected the lights to come on again soon. But nothing happened. Then I began to smell something. Yes, I could smell smoke. So I asked myself, “Is this train on fire?” People around me then began to cry out in fear. “The train is on fire!” they cried.

Then the woman standing next to me suddenly fell on the floor. I realized she was overcome by the smoke. Then I saw flames appearing. “If something does not happen soon,” I said to myself, “I will be burnt alive!”

But as I stood there in the dark in that crowded burning train, I could see no way to escape. I thought, “No one can save me from certain death but God. Only God can make a way for any of us to escape death in this train.”

Before the flames reached me, I found the open door and I climbed out of the train into the dark tunnel. Then as quickly as I could, I ran from the burning train down the tunnel. Now as I ran I could hear hundreds of people that were locked in that burning train, crying out for help. I knew I could do nothing to help them, so I ran on.

Then for two hours I kept walking in that dark train tunnel. At last I saw a light in the distance. I asked myself “Why did God enable me to escape death?” I decided, “God must have a purpose for saving my life. He must want me to help other people experience what He could do for them.”

   C. Calling reporters.                   

D. Returning to help.

4.Between which two paragraphs can the following paragraph be put?

I cried, “God, if it is not my time to die, please help me!” Then I heard a noise. It was like a door opening. It was on my right hand side. So in the dark, I at once began to push my way forward to where that noise came from.

   A. Between Paragraph 2 and 3.

“In fact, it was your playing 【小題19】 gave me a meaningful autumn,” I answered, “Let's be friends.”
The girl smiled, and so did I.
I never heard her play again in my life. I no longer went downstairs to listen like before. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the fine figure (身影) of the girl.

Suddenly a woman came beside me. She was in a soft green dress. I   7  as she picked up a large pack of T-bones,   8  them in her basket, hesitated, and then put them back. She saw me watching her and she smiled. "My husband loves T-bones, but   9 , at these prices, I don't know."

"My husband passed away eight days ago," I told her. "Buy him the steaks. And value every   10  you have together."

She smiled and I saw the feeling in her   11  as she placed the package in her basket and   12  away. I turned and pushed my cart forward too. Several minutes later I saw first the green suit and then  13  the pretty lady coming to me. In her arms she carried something. On her face was the   14  smile I had ever seen.

As she came closer, I saw what she held and   15  welled down. "These are for you, " she said and placed three beautiful yellow roses in my arms. She placed a gentle kiss on my cheek, then smiled again. I wanted to tell her what the roses   16 , but still unable to speak. I watched as she walked away as tears clouded my   17 . I looked down at the beautiful roses and found it almost  18 . How did she know?

Suddenly the   19  seemed so clear. I wasn't alone. "Oh, Bob, you haven't   20  me, have you?" I whispered, with tears in my eyes. He was still with me, and she was his angel.
