Question

I had finished work at about 4 o’clock and then gone to the post office. Then I stopped   off at a shop in order to get some     fruit. We like to have some fruit to eat after our swim when we would feel tired.

I was driving along a high road on my way to the school. Over my road was another way for cars coming the other way. I was     so I put the bag of apples in the seat     me and started to eat one.

Suddenly I saw the cars in front of me start to move from side to side. I slowed down. Then     started to shake. I didn’t know what was happening.     something had gone wrong with my car. I drove even slower. I stopped the car and at the same moment the road fell onto the cars in front of me.

I found myself in the dark. I couldn’t move. The bottom parts of both my legs and my     were hurting badly and I couldn’t move them. All around me was     . But above me I could hear shouts and a lot of noise. Then I remembered what had happened. I had been in an earthquake.

For about two hours nobody came. Luckily I could    the bag of apples， so at least I had plenty to eat. Then I     people climbing towards me. A team of people had come to see if anyone was under the broken     . I called out! “I’m here!” I heard a shout， soon     climbed to the side of the bridge near my car， “How are you doing?” he asked. “Not too bad，” I said， “but my feet and legs     as if(似乎) they’re broken.” “We’ll have you out of there just as soon as we can，” he said. They didn’t get me out     the next morning. I had been in my car for 14 hours.
