ouble. I thought they39。d be pulling out a dead body later in the evening. After his struggling for 10 minutes, his barefoot teenage daughter came running into the garage. I felt the weight shift, and I said, 39。 You almost got it.39。 and then it was just UGHHHRRR, and suddenly I39。m pulled out, Eric told NBC4. Even Charlotte, 120 pounds and 5foot6, isn39。t sure where her power came from. It was some crazy strength, she told WUSA9. Realizing the burning truck could set her house on fire at any moment, Charlotte jumped into the truck and drove it out of the garage. I didn39。t want the entire house to explode with the truck, so I started the truck, put it in fourwheel drive, and managed to drive it with three wheels, she said. Then she went inside the house to grab her baby sister and got her grandmother out of the house too. I just did what I had to do, so I don39。t feel like a big hero or anything, Charlotte said. Her local fire department, Fairfax County Fire and Rescue, felt differently, awarding her the Citizen Lifesaving Award. 29. What did Eric Heffelmire do after he got stuck under the truck? A.

D You might make a disgusted face when you notice that the person waiting in their car at the red light next to you is picking their nose, but admit it, you do it too. And while it might be the natural option when there isn39。t a box of tissues around, it can be bad for you. The main reasons people feel the need to pick their nose is to clear it of dried liquid, stop an itch (癢 ), or just because it feels good. Boogers(鼻屎 ) form when dried liquid and cilia, the tiny hairs that line the nostrils (鼻孔 ), trap the dust, dirt, and other things. When boogers build up in your nose, it can be unfortable, and sometimes just blowing into a tissue doesn39。t do the trick. Otolaryngologist Erich P. Voigt, MD, told Business Insider that picking your nose can cause injuries and bleeding within your nostrils. That39。s not terribly damaging, but when the bacteria from your hands get into your body, it can cause a cold and flu. So doctors strongly suggest not picking the nose. If dry winter air is causing the dirty liquid to harden in your nostrils, making you want to pick, consider damping the air at home, or taking a steam shower to soften things up in there. Children, who are most famous for having a finger up their nose, sometimes don39。t realize how much injury they39。re causing, and sometimes it can lead to nose bleeds. So, next time you go to pick your nose, think about how many bacteria are on your hands and in your boogers, and maybe reach for a tissue instead. Even if you39。 re alone, and not waiting for the light to turn green, please, use a tissue. 32. Why do people pick their nose? A. Because they want to disgust others. B.
