She Walked Through Fire
On Thanksgiving weekend, the Heffelmire family gathered for a meal at their home. After dinner, the family went down to the finished basement to relax except Charlotte’s father, Eric, who was in the garage to fix his truck．
Around 8 p.m., Charlotte decided to check on her dad. She walked through the kitchen. When she opened the side door to the garage, black smoke rose up into the kitchen. She could barely make out her father lying on his back, trapped under the truck. He’d removed the front passenger-side tyre and raised the truck on a jack（千斤顶）. The truck had slipped off the jack, and now the whole weight of the wheel was on his chest and shoulders．
Charlotte ran to the front of the truck and struggled to lift it. Eric was still conscious, and he yelled, “You got it! One more try!” She tried again and was able to tip the truck backward just enough for her to pull her dad by the shirt with both hands from under the truck．
She dragged him across the garage and 20 feet down the driveway. Then she ran back to the garage, which had burst into flames. “I was afraid the car was going to explode,” says Charlotte, so she climbed into the truck, which faced forward, turned the key, and pressed the gas pedal（油门）. The car slowly rolled out, the metal wheel scratching loudly against the concrete．
Safely on the driveway, Charlotte stopped the truck and ran back to the basement. “There’s a fire! Everybody get out!” she yelled as she picked up her three-month-old niece and ran out. Outside, she handed the baby to her mom, and then ran around to the burning garage. She picked up a garden hose（水管）and sprayed the fire while calling 911．
A few minutes later, firefighters and an ambulance arrived. Charlotte was treated for second-degree burns on both her feet and face. Her dad had injuries on his chest and shoulders, as well as minor burns on his face. The garage and the house were damaged but the family survived．
The Heffelmires are staying in an apartment while their house is rebuilt. “Charlotte is a remarkable kid,” says her dad. Charlotte, however, simply says, “ I was saving my family and my house. I wasn’t going to let my dad die.”

People keep organizing massive thousand person hide-and-seek games at Ikea (宜家) though it has _______ asked people not to play in its stores.
The first evidence of this _______ dates back to 2014, when a Belgian blogger named Elise De Rijck coordinated a hide-and-seek meet up at her local Ikea store to celebrate her 30th birthday. She _______ a Facebook group and invited her friends — but soon, thousands of people joined the group. Ikea Belgium got _______ of the plan and instead of _______ it, offered Ikea's full support, including _______ staff and security to host the event. From the photos that still _______ online, the event was a _______, filled with people hiding under bins and beds all over the store.
For Ikea, it was a(n) _______ thing. The company soon __________ similar Facebook groups organizing games and asked them to disband, noting __________ risks. And for good reason: Ikea is full of heavy furniture and forklifts (叉车).
Just this week, authorities in Glasgow __________ a new plan for a 3,000-person game in the Scottish city's Ikea store. Employees at the local Ikea __________ the plan on Facebook and called the police, who turned away the __________ gamesters. An Ikea spokesperson told The Scotsman, “We need to make sure people are safe, and that's hard if we don't know where they are.”
Ikea's prohibition on hide-and-seek __________. But at the same time, it's hard not to see the phenomenon as a potential __________ for the company, which has been working __________ to reinvent itself, rethinking its store designs and opening smaller urban stores that are really just a __________ for digital orders. It probably truly isn't safe to play guerilla-style games at a store that sells heavy furniture.
