(38-41)
The Chinese say, “If you’re bitten by a snake once, you’ll be scared by a rope for
ten years.” I have my own experience of this.
It 38 one night. I was cooking dinner, and at that moment, I really needed to
go to the bathroom. Without turning the gas off, I quickly went to the bathroom.
When I finished, I couldn’t open the door. “I can’t get out!” I shouted. I became
worried that I 39 in a fire! “No!” I kicked the door hard but it didn’t move an inch. I turned around and
saw hope. I hurried over to the window and pushed it really hard. 40 .
I just couldn’t open it. I would have to break it. I started hitting it with the
hardest thing I could find—a trash can.
With a loud “BANG,” the window broke. “I’m safe!” I took in the fresh air
happily. 41 , the cold wind woke me from my joy. I was on the tenth floor
and there was no way to get down! I kept shouting for help. Luckily, someone
heard me and called 119.
Since then, I’ve never closed the door when I use my bathroom. 【題組】39. (A) die (B) died
