bare  because  wear  protect   reason

Why do we wear clothes? You may think it is an easy question. But there are many{#blank#}1{#/blank#}why people wear clothes. In the past, many Europeans and Americans believed that people wore their clothes {#blank#}2{#/blank#} they didn't want other people to see their {#blank#}3{#/blank#} bodies. Today we believe that people first started {#blank#}4{#/blank#} clothes to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} themselves from the sun, the wind, the rain, the cold and other bad weather.

    Last night, when I was driving back home, I noticed a hitchhiker (搭便车的人) who was having no luck getting a ride. I rolled down my window and signed to the man to my car. I asked him where he was heading and he told me he needed a ride to his doctor's office which would close in 15 minutes. I told him to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} and he gratefully did so.

    As soon as he got in, he told me that he was a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} and went out to set for weeks at a time. He took medicine for his nerves and needed to get another prescription (处方) before he left on the boat. He said that he had prayed (祈祷) {#blank#}3{#/blank#} would stop for him so he could be there before the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} office closed. With some fast diving we managed to make it there in about 10 {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. I then asked him how he planned on getting back home and he said he could walk. "I'll patiently wait for you and bring you back," I told him. He {#blank#}6{#/blank#} me and said he should only be about 15 minutes.

    Afterwards he got back in my car and tried his hardest to pay me back: offering me dinner, gas money, even offering to ship me 40 lbs of scalps (海扇贝)! I {#blank#}7{#/blank#} refused, gave him a smile card and asked him to help someone else the nest time he had a {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. I drove him {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to where I had picked him up and after one more "thank you", he was on his way.

    I fell that the world always offers us {#blank#}10{#/blank#} we need. In the man's case it was ride, in mine the chance to help someone else.

    Is there something strange high up in the world's {#blank#}1{#/blank#} mountains? If so, is it a big bear? Is it monkey? Or is it a kind of man?

    No one knows. This mystery has puzzled the world for years.

    In 1887, a mountain climber found large footprints in the snow. They looked like the footprints of a very large man. But men don't walk {#blank#}2{#/blank#} shoes in the snow!

    In 1906, another climber saw more than footprints. Far off, he saw a very large animal standing on two legs. As he watched, it ran very {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

Fifteen years later, newspaper had new stories about the "something". A mountain climber said he had seen the "{#blank#}4{#/blank#}" walk slowly across the snow, far below him. He said it looked like a very large man.

    From then on, more and more people had stories to tell. But not until 1951 did a mountain climber bring back of large footprints. "The pictures showed clearly {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the Snowman walked on two legs." So it was not a bear or a monkey. Could it be an ape man? The mystery grew! And the mystery keeps growing. Some day we may {#blank#}6{#/blank#} what it is that makes the large footprints.
