At the end of the day, he would 2 his taxi on the road. Why not in the garage?I asked myself. Then one day I learned that he had another 3 . In the afternoon he would e home from work, leave his taxi and go out 4 his personal business in his other car, not in his taxi. I felt it was 5 . I really want to see his personal car but did not make it. Two weeks later, I 6 to be outside one evening, when the garage door was 7 and he drove out in his own car: a RollsRoyce(勞斯萊斯)! It 8 me pletely when I realized what that meant. You see, he was a taxi driver. 9 deep inside, he saw himself as something else:a RollsRoyce owner and a(n) 10 .

Wind cried and he was in the fall. Before Crane realized 2 was happening, he found himself 3 on a frozen stream. The plane that he had to 4 was burning, two miles away, which would be good 5 a rescue. However, the fire also meant the suppliesfood, sleeping bags, signal flames, a gunwere lost. Still he shouted out for any sign of life. 6 there was nobody else. Crane tried to take 7 steps, but the thick snow made his walking hard. And to make things 8 a broken foot made 9 nearly impossible to reach the crash site before nightfall. He knew he mustn39。t lose his 10 and began to think of the things he could do. It was minus60degrees Fahrenheit. Crane knew he needed to start a fire and get it going, 11 he might not last the night. His fingers were dead, but he managed to light a match. The little flame wasn39。t enough to catch. He tried another three matches but they did nothing except burn his fingertips. At that moment, he remembered hearing from his father days ago. So with the help of the 12 , a fire rose up. The 13 match worked. The journey back was unexpectedly difficult. One of his feet became so large that he could 14 put on his shoe. He walked at the best speed that he could manage although he was in great pain. Luckily, the 23yearold 15 who had a strong will succeeded in keeping himself away from varied kinds of danger until help arrived 81 days later. 1. A. myB. theirC. herD. his2. A.
