2．（8分）The phone rang．I waited for the answering machine to get it，but for some reason，it was not picking up．I sighed，annoyed because I knew the call was either going to be for my wife，Susan （she was the only one who received calls on the home line，and she left to take Alyce to school ten minutes ago），or it was the latest of 300 attempts to sell me something I had absolutely no interest in．

"Hello，" I said，an edge in my voice．12﹣year﹣old daughter，"Mommy was just in

a car accident．" My heart stopped and then began pounding．"Are you all right？" "Yes．" "Is

Mommy？" A deep sob．"I don't know…I don't think so．Come quick．" I rushed a few blocks to what looked like a shoot for a disaster movie．Fire engines，police cars，and ambulances were randomly parked in the street；helicopters circled．A city bus was on the wrong side of the road．In front of it were the smashed remains of Susan's car．Susan was pinned under the dashboard （仪表盘）．There was no front windshield （挡风玻璃）．Alyce was standing on the corner crying，covered in tiny pieces of glass but uninjured．Inconceivable! Susan wasn't so lucky．But she was alive．It turned out that she had broken nearly every bone in her body，and she would spend almost three months in the hospital．
