I lived next door to Debbie and her 84-year-old mother, Nan, for about six months. One night last summer, Debbie asked me to check on her mother because she worked the overnight shift (夜班) at a nursing home. I was glad to help. But I 1 felt a little funny about it. 2 , I’ve been blind since I was a baby and out of 3 for years. In fact, at 54, I came to wonder if I had any 4 to live. A bit after 9:00 pm, I heard a sound—over the years my ears have grown super 5 . It was Nan. “Jim, Jim. The house is 6 ! Help!” I went as far as I could to Debbie’s. I got to the front door, 7 for the key and unlocked the door. “Nan! Where are you?” I called. “Here, Jim. Help!” her voice was 8 and low. I felt my 9 inside. “Nan, where are you? Keep 10 !” “Here, Jim, here!” sounds as if she’s 11 in front of me. I reached out and touched her shoulder. We felt our way down the steps. ___12____ in the sweet, fresh summer air. Later the fire truck arrived. Debbie came too. Nan and I heard the sound of the 13 coming down. Finally, the firefighters 14 the fire. I heard Nan crying. She said, “I was so 15 and got turned around. I couldn’t find the door. You saved my life.” Now Debbie’s voice quivered (发抖)， “You’re a hero. You rescued my mom.” I hardly knew what to say. Two hours earlier I was wondering whether I really mattered to anyone. And now I saved a life. Nan and Debbie were thanking me. Truth was, I wanted to thank them. Nan wasn’t the only one who had been saved that day.
