It was very cold. It snowed heavily and blew very strongly. It was not a good night to go out.     

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#} David had to walk home from work. "It can be warmer, " he thought, "I wear my coat backwards(反方向地)." He {#blank#}2{#/blank#}off his coat and put it on backwards. "That's much better." He thought and walked on. About ten minutes {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a car hit him. The driver stopped his car and got out of it. He ran to help David.

    Soon a police car arrived. The policeman ran to look at David. "I'm {#blank#}4{#/blank#} he's dead." The {#blank#}5{#/blank#} told the driver.

    The driver could not believe {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. "He can't be dead." He cried，"I did not touch him. Look at my car. There is not a mark {#blank#}7{#/blank#} it."

    "He's dead." The policeman said again.

    "I don't understand it." {#blank#}8{#/blank#} driver said, "As soon as I hit him. I ran to help him. He was lying on the road, but he was breathing and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} was no blood."

    "Did you touch him?" The policeman asked.

    "{#blank#}10{#/blank#}," The driver said, "but I only turn his head around the right way."

    A meteorite（陨石）almost {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（hit）an 80-year-old man named Arthur Pettifer in the UK while he {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（work）on the farm. The meteorite was {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（big）in the past 26 years in the UK. It weighed（重）one kilo, and might be over4, 000, 000, 000 years old.

    “I heard the big noise in the air. I looked up and saw something falling from the sky to the ground（地面）{#blank#}4{#/blank#}（heavy）. "he said, "I had a bad {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（feel）about it at that time. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}first I thought it was a plane. ”

    Meteorites are small things from the space. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}about 3, 500 meteorites may fall on the earth every year, only very few of these {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（fall）rocks are found. Mr. Pettifer's meteorite is the fifth to fall in the UK {#blank#}9{#/blank#}the year of 1939.

    Mr. Pettifer is glad. "When you think about it coming from so far away. {#blank#}10{#/blank#}really is something strange."

    The mountain was high and it was cold. Everything {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (cover) by snow and ice and it was dangerous. I shook in my tent as the storm tried {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (knock) me back to the bottom. ""You will never make it to the top, "everyone said, "no woman has ever climbed this mountain and only a few people have done it by themselves. "I was so confident {#blank#}3{#/blank#} I would be the first woman to climb up to the top of Whitmore. I had prepared for several {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (month).

    The wind had gotten much {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (quiet) when I woke up the next morning. I climbed {#blank#}6{#/blank#} of my tent and looked out at the mountain. Everything was white and still. "I will make it to the top today, "I thought to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (I).

    I started up the slope. My feet crunched the snow with every step I took. It was a beautiful day. I was climbing quickly. Soon I was going to reach the top. All of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} sudden, I slipped (滑倒). I moved down the mountain. I was going slowly at first but then I started to slide very fast. I started to turn around and around quickly. After what felt {#blank#}9{#/blank#} forever, I came to a stop. I had slid all the way to the bottom. I was alive. I couldn't believe it.

    Three days later, I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (make) it to the top. It was a beautiful day and I had a perfect view of everything around me.
