    Melinda wasn’t expecting any phone calls. She was working late in her office at the First Internet bank of California. By 10:45 that night she was almost ready to go home when the phone rang. Picking it up, she heard a guard shouting. There is a fire! Get out of there.
    Melinda didn’t panic. She figured that it was just a small fire. Her office building was huge. There were 62 floors and her desk was on the 37th floor.
    Melinda called out to office mate Stephen, who also stayed late to work. But when they got out to the hallway, they were met by a cloud of black smoke. Rushing back Melinda shut the door and filled the space at the bottom of the door with her jacket to keep the smoke out.
    Then they called 911. Before they could call their families however the line went dead. That meant that they were completely cut off from the outside world. All they could do was wait and hope someone would come to rescue them.
    Minutes ticked by Smoke began to float into the office. Soon it became hard for them to breathe. Looking around Melinda noticed a small workroom. It seemed to have cleaner air. So they crowded there. That helped for a while but in time even the workroom was filled with deadly smoke. Hopeless they tried to break the windows, but the glass was not breakable. Everything they threw at is just bounced back. Defeated they struggled back to the workroom. They felt weak and dizzy. Soon Melinda found Stephen had passed out.
    Melinda and Stephen knew they were lucky to be alive. "Sunday is my birthday", Melinda told a reporter. She would be turning 29, but she knew she had already got the best present possible—the gift of life.
The following helped Melinda and Stephen survive the fire except________.
选项 A、calling 911 for help
B、breaking the windows to get some fresh air
C、crowding in a small workroom for clean air
D、shutting the door and keeping the smoke out with a jacket
答案B
解析 细节理解题。本题问题是下列选项哪一个没有帮助主人公们逃生。从文章中“Hopeless they tried to break the windows but the glass was not breakable. Everything they threw at just bounced back. ”这段话可以看出他们想打碎玻璃，但是没有成功，因此B选项所说的是没有发生的事情。故本题选B。
