I boarded a small plane together with my sister and 42 other passengers. While flying over the mountains, the plane     1     (encounter) violent airflow. Losing control suddenly, it hit an unknown mountain peak. The impact of the crash claimed the lives of a few passengers immediately, leaving many injured including my sister.

Adding a slight chance of being found out, we waited in the open, as opposed to waiting in the plane,     2     it was freezing cold. At night, we slept side by side to keep ourselves warm and melted snow into water. We knew our food couldn’t last us long, sticking to the hope that we     3     (rescue) soon.

We knew from radio that the outside world     4     (try) to look for the missing aircraft. However, the aircraft was white and blended in with the snow, making it impossible to be seen from the sky. Later, our hope was dead when we found out via our radio that the rescue effort ended.

Now climbing over the mountains ourselves to search for help seemed to be our only chance of survival.     5     the crash site was an awful place, with urine (尿) everywhere and smelling of death, I still wished to stay there. But my sister would give in to her injuries soon     6     we were not rescued. Thus, together with two other people, Canessa and Vizintin, I decided to walk through the icy wilderness for help. Carrying some food and water, the three climbers started our journey. If we had known anything about climbing, we would have realized that we were already finished. The mountain we were about to challenge was one with slopes so steep     7     it would scare away a team of expert climbers. Our ignorance provided our only chance.

We endured exhaustion and starvation and we had reached the top.

To our horror, we found nothing. Disappointed, we were about to give up hope     8     I spotted a valley at the base of the mountain and again we started making our way down the mountain.

Eventually, at the bottom of the mountain we were helped by a local farmer who called the police for help. I then     9     (guide) the rescue team via a helicopter to the crash site. Finally, after we had endured nineteen cruel days, the world found out that there were 16 survivors who     10     (cheat) death despite the odds (困难).

In any major Indian city, people are seen with an arm outstretched, mobile phone in hand,     1     (smile) widely and clicking away. Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi is said     2     (love) the selfie (自拍), posting pictures online that he has taken with     3     (variety) world leaders.

But the pursuit of selfie can sometimes have deadly consequences. India is home to     4     highest number of people who have died while taking photos of     5     (they), with 19 of the world’s 49 recorded selfie-linked deaths since 2014.

    6    (early) this month, an 18-year-old college student on a class picnic lost his balance while taking a selfie on top of a rock near a dam. He fell into the water and drowned, along with a classmate     7     jumped in to save him.

Since then, the Indian government     8     (declare) 16 no-selfie zones across Mumbai, warning people    9    taking unnecessary risks. Police have declared “no selfie” in areas considered to be    10    (risk)—particularly along the coastline in spots with no railings or fences. Anyone coming into “no selfie” areas even if they take no photos, will risk a fine of 1,200 rupees ($17.50).

On Sunday, a high school senior, 18-year-old Jessica Gallegos, saved the     1     (life) of six of her friends when she realized the farmhouse     2     they were sleeping was on fire.

“I woke them up，and I was yelling，‘Get out! There’s a fire!”’ Jessica told the reporter. “I just remember     3     (see) terror in everyone’s faces as they were running out of the house. It was scary. ”

After the teens got to     4     (safe)，they watched the entire house burn down in Kaufman County, Texas. Unbelievably，only one of Jessica’s friends，Cheyenne Dupal,     5     (injure) with first and second-degree burns.

“Jessica saved all of     6     (we),’’ Cheyenne said. “If she wasn’t there，then we wouldn't be here today. I'm just really happy she was there.

    7     (early) in May? another heroic teen saved her family     8     a deadly fire in San Bernardino. Fifteen-year-old Storhmn Figueroa heard the smoke alarm going off and     9     (immediate) rushed to get her younger siblings outside. It wasn’t until they were all safe     10     she called 911.

“I was shaking so badly that I couldn’t stop,” Storhmn told the San Bernardino County Sun. “But all I could think was wow，I got everybody out.’’

People love the view of old buildings in Paris, especially Notre Dame Cathedral(巴黎圣母院).     1    (unfortunate), on April 16, a fire destroyed the spire(尖顶) of the 850-year-old cathedral, and two-thirds of the roof. Flames could be seen     2    (rise) through the top of the monument. The citizens in Paris gathered around the cathedral, praying     3     the hundreds of firefighters who fought the flames.     4     was no wonder that people felt sad. The church itself, after all, is a historical and artistic treasure.     5    (build) in 1163, it is one of the world's most famous tourist sites, attracting about 12 million     6    (visit) every year.

Notre Dame Cathedral is home to many     7    (religion) artworks, paintings and sculptures. Despite its long history and many treasures, the cathedral     8    (need) the help of a writer to become truly famous. Victor Hugo's 1831 novel, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, presented the building to     9     wide audience of readers. He wrote the book to remind people of it, with the hope     10     they would protect the beautiful old buildings of Paris.

On Sunday, a bus in Chongqing fell into the Yangtze River,     1     left 15 people dead. The accident     2    (cause) by a fight between an angry passenger and the bus driver.

A woman passenger failed     3    (get) off at the right bus stop. She asked the driver to stop the bus and let her get off, but the driver refused. A quarrel then occurred, with both sides   using unkind     4    (word). Five minutes later, she struck the driver on the head with her smartphone, and the driver fought back with his right hand. Within two seconds, the driver took back his hand. However, he     5    (lose) control of the bus before he realized it. The bus hit a red car, and fell into the river.

    6     is very basic common sense that the lives and safety of the whole bus depend upon the driver, but the woman attacked the driver because of her own fault. On     7     other hand, the driver didn’t stay calm. As a driver     8    (responsibility) for the whole bus, he should have stopped the bus by the roadside to ensure safety while under attack. It was     9    (extreme) reckless(鲁莽的) to fight back.

I wonder why none of the passengers took action to stop the fight.     10     any one of the passengers had stepped forward bravely, the tragedy might have been prevented.

Miners have dangerous jobs because occasionally the earth sinks or falls apart. When this happens, miners are     1    (trap) underground. They are buried     2     they don't have air to breathe, food to eat, and water to drink, they will die. They     3     not go without any of these things for long, but the first is the most important.     4    is difficult to figure out where miners are and reach them in time. Trapped miners dream of     5       (be) free and don't give up.

In August 2010, 33 miners     6     (go) to work in a mine in Chile, All of a sudden, a wall broke apart and rocks and dirt filled     7     mine's exit. At first,people thought all the miners died.     8     , after working for 17 days, people at the surface learned the miners were still alive.     9    , people on the surface figured out where the miners were and dug a     10    to send them food and water.

A man looking at his Smartphone while walking across a railway    1     (have) a close knock on Oct 22. He was so    2    (absorb) in his Smartphone that he didn't see a train approaching until it brushed past him,    3    (throw) him to the ground. This should serve    4    a warning that people should be aware of their surroundings, especially    5    crossing roads.    6    (lucky), the man survived, but the incident forced the driver     7    (stop) the train. An l8-minute delay followed the incident,    8    led to a break in the running of other trains on the route.

The Smartphone    9    (addict) has spread like an infectious disease. It's evident that it will do great harm to society. What's even    10    (bad),some addicts become impatient with relatives and friends. Some people blame the Smartphone for the sad story, yet in fact people's weakening self-control and self-discipline are to blame.
