I lived next door to Debbie and her 84-yea

题目内容：

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 1felt a little funny about it. 2, I’ve been blind since I was a baby and out of 3for years. In fact, at 54, I came to wonder if I had any 4to 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, 7for the key and unlocked the door. “Nan! Where are you?” I called.

“Here, Jim. Help!” her voice was 8and low.

I felt my 9inside. “Nan, where are you? Keep 10!” “Here, Jim, here!” sounds as if she’s 11in 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 13coming down. Finally, the firefighters 14the fire.

I heard Nan crying. She said, “I was so 15and 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.
