Question

I live on the twelfth floor of a building. One afternoon I was coming home from a friend’s house. It was just after four o’clock. I got quickly into the lift and pressed Button(按钮) 12.

    The lift started to go up, but very slowly. And then, half way up, it suddenly stopped between two floors. I couldn’t understand it. I pressed all the buttons from 1 to 14. I called for help very loudly. But nobody answered.

    Then suddenly the lights went out, and I was alone in the dark. I started to cry and beat the walls of the lift. I cried and cried until I had no voice left. Then, I felt hopeless, and pressed all the buttons with my open hands. And all at the same time, there was a bell far away. It rang and rang. It was the fire alarm(火灾警报). I thought the whole building was on fire. I said to the God quietly, “ Just get me out of here. I’ll never be bad again.”

    Just then, I realized the lift was moving very slowly. On the ground floor it stopped, and the door opened. A man was standing there. “ How long have you been there? It is good that you pressed the alarm bell. But haven’t you learned to read at your school ?” He pointed at a small piece of paper on the wall beside the lift. It said: “Attention:This lift will be stopped for repairs between 4 pm and 5 pm on Thursday, March 13.”
