Suddenly she   42   a big bald（秃顶的）man running through the parking lot. Before she came to   43   what would happen, the man was there, shouting through her window, “Get out!”

Neilson   44  .

Pulling open her door, the man seized her   45   the neck and hair, and threw her out of the car onto the ground. She screamed,   46   her purse and the keys.

Two reporters of the local newspaper, Robert Bruce and Jeff Jackson, just outside their office building on a   47  , heard the screams and began running.

When they   48   Neilson’s car, the attacker had jumped into the driver’s seat and was   49  serching for the keys. Bruce opened the door, and he and Jackson dragged the man out. The attacker   50   back. But even in his cornered panic, he was no   51   for the two athletic men.

Reggie Miller, a worker of the local newspaper, heard the screams, too. He rushed back to the office to   52   the police , and then ran back with some plastic ropes — used to tie up newspers.

Neilson considers herself lucky   58   she suffered injuries. She believes the story might have had a   59   ending if those good people had not come to her aid. “Unfortunately,” she says, “many people would   60   have done what they did, and that is the real truth.”
