Rolling, dark clouds covered much of the sky. The warm wind suddenly became cold and picked up wildly, sending some dead leaves flying     41     across the sky. A few drops of rain mixed with ice began to fall, then into heavy     42     .
Doug, my older brother, and I first rode the bus to a bus stop. Then we    43    off and began our long walk home. The wind was     44     the snow around us like a huge blanket, making it   45      to see clearly. The only sounds we heard were the    46    of the wind as well as the crunch of our footsteps on the snow. Slowly but     47    , my brother and I were
   48    to death. Looking to my left, I saw a pine tree and squatted(蹲下) down.
“What are you doing here, Bud? Come on!” said Doug, “There’s no     49     behind this little tree. If we rest here, we will die from the freeze.”
“You go on, and I’ll     50    soon.” I replied. 
Doug was     51     for a moment. Then he spoke, “Bud, do you remember the four pine
trees at the side of the road?     52     we get there, we can rest a while and get warm. You just stick your hand down the back of my    53     , keep your head down and hold on.”
As we struggled through the snow, my hand     54     from my brother’s belt and I fell to my knees.
“Where are the trees?” I said, as the snow     55     up around me like a feather bed. Once again, Doug pulled me to my feet.
“Just a few more    56     and we’ll be home and warm,” he said.
As the darkness closed around us, we approached home,     57     . I only heard a worried shouting not in the distance. Then someone took my hand and     58     me into a warm, bright light. And then I survived. 
Now, I still think about the lesson learned from our winter     59    story: Never
    60     , no matter what the odds and whatever to come.
