One of my next-door neighbors is a sweet 92-year-old Polish lady. A few days ago, I came back home from a trip. As I was  1 my clothes in my room, I heard a(n)       2  ,violent knock on the door. It was 10:30 pm, and I wasn’t sure who it could be. I went downstairs and  3  the peephole（猫眼）, and saw that it was our sweet next-door neighbor.
I quickly   4  the door, and she seemed really distressed and kept 5 , “please help me, I need your help. The fire alarm won’t go off. Please help me.” I  6  told her that everything would be okay, and  7  her to her house to see what was going on  8  the fire alarm.
She  9 that the alarm had been going on and off inconsistently for the past two hours, and that her  10  to call her daughter to come and fix it was fruitless. So I took a chair from her dining room table,  11  it, and looked at the fire alarm.
After twisting the fire alarm off, I blew into it, because sometimes  12 causes it to make strange noises. She seemed  13 but was exactly shaking out of fear. I asked her  14 she was okay, and she said she was 15  , so I gave her a hug. I felt her shaking in my embrace, and held her _16_ for a few minutes until she stopped shaking and sighed a breath of relief.
We then  17 and talked for ten minutes, until I felt that she was okay, and safe to sleep. She was so generous with  18 for being with her, but I thanked her for  19 me that hugs are indeed good tools! So, sometimes, a(n) 20  hug is a good and powerful way to hold someone going through a difficult period.
