    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.
What did Melinda and Stephen do when they were stopped by the fire?
选项 A、They called their families.
B、They waited where they were.
C、They tried to run down the stairs.
D、They rushed back and shut the door.
答案D
解析 细节理解题。根据提问内容可从文中这段文字“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. ”看出当Mehnda和Stephen被大火和浓烟拦住去路后，返回了办公室并用衣服堵住了门缝防止浓烟进来。故本题选D。
