When Alesia Reuis was nine years old, she had an accident that left her unable to walk for years. Now Alesia is telling the story of the first day she ? ? ? again.

??? I remember the very first time I walked by myself. My sister Alexis was in high school then. She was on the basketball team, and she was going to take me to her practice. She went to drive the car to the front door for me while I was sitting in my room, but we were going to be late, so I said to myself, “Let me help her out a little.” I ? ? ? I would try to walk to the ? ? ? door.

? ? ? else was at home, so I had to do it by myself. I was a little afraid, but I wanted to do it, so I pushed up off the arms of my wheelchair and ? ? ? . There wasn't going to be anything for me to hold on to 。? ? ? if I leaned over(倾身) to catch the table, I would fall. So I put my mind on walking and nothing else, and I just took a step, and another one, and then about three more, and I was at the door of my? ? ? . I stood ? ? ? the wall and started smiling. I was so ? ? ? I'd made it that far. I ? ? ? to the sky and said, “Thank you.”

I stayed there for a minute. I was hoping I wouldn't have anything wrong with my ? ? ? , so I practiced? ? ? it a little bit, and then I started across the living room. I looked straight ahead, and I made it to the next wall, and I said “? ? ? ” again. Then I had to walk just ? ? ? more steps to get to the door — and I did it! I said, "I made it, I made it, thank you!" I looked out to see where Alexis was. She was driving to the house. She was so surprised? that I was standing there waving at her. She laughed ? ? ? and gave me a great big hug.

Earthquakes happen without warning(前兆)．They can happen any time of a day，at any point during the year．But don’t worry because most are so weak that they cannot be felt． Only a few big ones hurt people． However，it’s important to know what to do when an earthquake is happening．
Do NOT go outside．You could get injured from falling glass or parts of buildings．If you are outside，stay away from buildings and power lines (输电线)．
Stay under a desk，table，or other strong furniture（家具）．Hold on to it．Or stay in a corner of the building．Cover your face and head with your arms and cover your mouth with a towel（围巾） or clothing．Stay inside until shaking stops and it is safe to go outside．
Keep away from windows，pictures or advertisements on the wall or the building，and anything else that could fall and hurt you．Most people get injured by falling things during an earthquake，not by the shaking itself．
Also keep away from a fire．You could fall down and burn yourself on the fire．
If you are driving when an earthquake happens，stop the car if it’s safe．Stay inside your car until the earthquake stops，and don’t drive near bridges． Try not to stop by power lines or trees．These could fall and hurt you．
【小题1】Most earthquakes are too ----to hurt people．
