2 . As 17-year-old Torri’ell Norwood drove through St, Petersburg. Florida, last February, the laughter and chatter from the four teenage girls inside her car quickly ________ screams. As they approached a crossroad, another car T-boned them, sending their black car sailing into the yard of a ________ home, coming to a stop only when it crashed into a tree.

As smoke billowed from the other car, a bystander shouted, “It’s about to ________. Get out!” she ________ out through the window. Along with two of her friends, who’d also managed to ________ themselves, she ran for her life.

But halfway down the street, she realized that her best friend, A’zarria Simmons, wasn’t with them. Norwood ran back to the wreck and found Simmons slumped (蜷缩) in the back seat. “She wasn’t ________.” Norwood told Inside Edition. She threw open the back door and ________ her friend out, avoiding the broken glass as best she could. She dragged Simmons a few feet to safety and ________ her on the ground. “I checked her pulse.” Nothing. “I put my head against her chest.” No ________ of life. “That’s when I started CPR.”

Had the accident happened a few weeks earlier, she might not have known what to do. But Norwood had earned her CPR certificate just the day before. ________ on the lawn and looking down at her dying friend, Norwood knew she had ________ little time to practice what she’d learned.

She started ________ Simmons’s chest with her interlocked fingers and breathing into her friend’s mouth in the ________ of filling her lungs with the kiss of life. No response And then, after the 30th compression, Simmons began coughing and ________ for air. The CPR had worked!

Soon, paramedics arrived and rushed Simmons to the hospital, where she received stitches for a gash (伤口) in her forehead. And then she heard how her best friend had saved her life. “I wasn’t ________,” Simmons told CNN. “She will always help any way she can.”
