    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 first sentence of the passage is to________.
选项 A、introduce Melinda
B、get the reader’s attention
C、explain the cause of the event
D、tell the background information
答案B
解析 推理判断题。文章第一句话的意思是“Melinda没有在等待任何电话”。这句话的意图是引起读者的好奇和注意，也为下文做呼应。故本题选B。
