Question

【题目】Madonna Kenser, a teacher of Oak Grove Elementary in Poplar Bluff, suddenly had an asthma attack (哮喘发作) in class. One of her students, 9-year-old Brendon Garman, saved her life.

“I was teaching the class and my throat began to close,” Kenser said. “I was having an asthma attack. The students were watching and I knew I had to get to my desk.” At her desk was her bag with an inhaler (吸入器). However, Kenser never made it to her desk. She passed out, lying on the floor.
