Cruz Genet, 11, and Anthony Skopick, 10, couldn’t agree. Were the birds out on the ice ducks or geese? There was only one way to find out.

So on a chilly January evening last year, the two friends ventured (冒险) onto the frozen pond near their homes in Frankfort, Illinois,    1    (get) a better look. First they cast a rock onto the ice to test it, then they stepped on it.    2    (convince) the ice would hold their weight, Anthony took a few steps, then … FOOMP. He crashed through the seemingly frozen surface. There was no sound, he just fell instantly.

Cruz rushed to help his terrified friend. FOOMP -- the pond swallowed him too. Cruz managed to lift

    3    out of the frozen water and onto a more solid section. He then cautiously worked his way toward Anthony. But the ice     4    (not hold), and he fell in again.

Cruz was sure he was going to die.

Anthony’s older sister had seen the boys     6    (fall) into the pond and started creaming for help. John Lavin, a neighbor driving nearby on his way to the grocery store, heard her. He quickly pulled over. Seeing the boys, he grabbed a nearby buoy(浮标)，kicked off his shoes, and ran into the water,    7    (chop) his way through the ice with his free fist.
