13、望找人幫忙， 可一個(gè)人也沒(méi)看見(jiàn)。 得有人救 這些人啊，拉澤娜萬(wàn)分著急。她立即去開(kāi)門(mén)，而門(mén)卻鎖著，于是她使勁地敲起來(lái)?！熬让?！”她大聲地 喊，一位老年男子才輕輕地將門(mén)打開(kāi)來(lái)?！爸鹆?！”拉澤娜一邊喊一邊跑到走廊，看見(jiàn)每個(gè)門(mén)都敲?！按蠹叶汲?來(lái)！”這幢房子有兩層樓。很快拉澤娜就沖上了樓梯。她的心怦怦地跳，喉嚨發(fā) 緊，但她還是費(fèi)勁地往上走?？欤?！她催促著自己。你得幫助他們！樓上，濃煙懸浮在離地面僅僅幾英尺處。 人要是將這煙吸進(jìn)去就會(huì)死的！ 她 想著，心中充滿了恐懼。她本能地趴在地上匍匐前進(jìn)。 她看見(jiàn)一雙雙穿著拖鞋的腳可是誰(shuí)也沒(méi)有 挪動(dòng)一步。她意識(shí)到他們看不清該往哪兒走！“往這兒來(lái)！”她叫喊道，“

14、跟著 我！”她用一只袖子捂住嘴， 趕忙站起身來(lái)， 領(lǐng)著那些老人下樓。 支撐天花板的梁 都已經(jīng)著火了， 燃燒著的瓦片紛紛掉落到地板上。 天花板要是塌下來(lái)怎么辦？拉 澤娜萬(wàn)分著急。時(shí)間緊迫。于是她咚咚地上樓下樓， 在熾熱的濃煙中來(lái)回穿行， 接送更多的人。 “抓住 我的手臂， ”她對(duì)那些緊張萬(wàn)分的老人說(shuō)。 她的眼睛火辣辣的， 火焰發(fā)出的嘶嘶 聲更大了。但是她想，我不能停下來(lái)。我不會(huì)的！有一個(gè)人穿著拳擊褲跌跌撞撞地走了出來(lái)。外面太冷了他會(huì)凍壞的 ! 拉 澤娜想，于是立即脫下了自己的外套?！按┥线@個(gè)，”她對(duì)他說(shuō)。另一個(gè)人虛弱 得挪不動(dòng)步子?！拔襾?lái)抱你，”她說(shuō)著，雙臂將他抱了起來(lái)。啊，希望大家都平安無(wú)事，

15、她一邊把他們帶到人行道上一邊想。奇怪，我居 然不感到害怕。終于，她把最后一個(gè)人帶了出來(lái)。 他們都茫然地站在人行道上， 哭泣著 但是都活著?！疤兄x你了，”他們一遍一遍地對(duì)她說(shuō)?！耙菦](méi)有你，我們自 己是跑不出來(lái)的?！碑?dāng)街上充滿了消防車(chē)刺耳的嘯鳴聲時(shí)，拉澤娜恍恍惚惚地走回家去了。德博拉看見(jiàn)女兒進(jìn)門(mén)時(shí)倒抽了一口冷氣。 女兒渾身顫抖，從頭到腳滿是黑灰。 “出什么事了？”她大聲問(wèn)。拉澤娜一下癱倒在母親的懷抱里， 抽噎起來(lái)。 “有個(gè)地方著火了好多人 呢我想我把他們都救出來(lái)了，”她語(yǔ)無(wú)倫次地說(shuō)?！拔野阎品獕牧?， ”拉澤娜哭著。 “我想你會(huì)很生氣的。 ”德博拉搖搖頭， 眼里滿是淚水?！鞍。瑢氊?，我真為你驕傲，”她低聲說(shuō)。消防隊(duì)員們聽(tīng)說(shuō)了拉澤娜的勇敢行為之后授予她警察局長(zhǎng)頒發(fā)的獎(jiǎng)金和獎(jiǎng)?wù)隆?報(bào) 紙和電視臺(tái)的采訪隨之而至。連克林頓總統(tǒng)都致信贊揚(yáng)并向她表示謝意。1.complexn. 集合體，建筑群2.peekn. 一瞥，很快的一看3.peervi. 仔細(xì)看，凝視4.lurchvi. 突然傾斜，突然急動(dòng)5.lobbyn. 穿堂，大廳6.cracklen. 噼啪聲，爆裂聲7.souln.（ 常冠以數(shù)詞或帶有情感色彩的形容詞 ）人，家伙8.panicvi.(pt.pani
