Engaged in work, Rose aged 27, reached the destination hurriedly to meet visitors：her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown．But as she hurried down the 36 stairs，she started to feel 37。When she got to the platform，Rose felt weak and tired--maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to give blood the night before，she thought．She rested herself 38 a post close to the tracks．

Several yards away，Frank,43 and his girlfriend, Jennifer  found a spot close to 39 the front of the train would stop. They were deep in 40 about a house they were thinking of buying. But when he heard the scream, 41 by someone yelling，“Oh，my God，she fell in!” Frank didn’t hesitate．He 42 down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails.

“No! Not you!” his girlfriend 43 after him．

She was 44 to be alarmed．By the time Frank reached Rose，he could feel the tracks 45 and see the light coming. The train was about 20 46 from the station. It was 47 to lift her．She was just out．But he managed to raise her four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the grip and 48 her away from the edge．That was where Rose briefly regained 49 ，felt herself being pulled along the ground, and someone else holding her 50 ．Rose thought she’d been robbed．A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help 51 the blood pouring from her head．52 she tried to talk but she couldn’t, and that was when she realized how much pain she was in．

Police and fire officials 53 arrived，and Frank told what had happened.Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40-minute train ride downtown---just as he had been seconds after the 54 which made her think about her 55 at the time．“I saw the train coming and 1 was thinking he was going to die，”she explained．
