I came back to the door, still nobody at the door.” She got 7 and stepped outside, shouting, “Who’s that? What on earth are you going to do?” There was just 8 .
But after Sharon returned to the house, she 9 something. Smoke! Sharon quickly 10 her kids and the family pets and ran out of the house. Only then did she 11 how bad the fire was. The 12 of the house fell down; the house was quickly 13 by flames. The smoke detectors(探测器) had never 14 : they were out of batteries. Good thing for the doorbell.
