34、 About four meters below were uneven pieces of concrete, broken glass and smashed furniture, all mixed with sharp spikes of iron.

She gave up the baby, then asked if any of the men there would come back with her to help others trapped in the

39、building. No one came forward, for they were all afraid of that swaying ceiling. But for Krimali, a small girl of 154 centimeters in height and weighing about 50 kilos, her fears had been lifted by what she had accomplished. On her way back into the ruins, she saw part of a large door. It was extrem

40、ely heavy but she managed to drag it to the spot just below the hanging ceiling. By placing it on the ruins, she created something like a sliding board. With Krimali coaching her, the babys mother partly jumped and partly rolled down the board to the ground level. Krimali led her through the debris

41、to her baby. In the hours that followed Krimali made countless rescue missions into the building, each time in the shadow of the huge ceiling. Thanks to her courage, about two dozen men, women and children were saved. Exercise 1: Questions : 1-2 d b Exercise 2: 1. Because she was afraid Krimali migh
