A 30-year-old man was finally rescued from the Alaskan wilderness after his cabin（小木屋）burned down,     1     (leave) him trapped in the snow for almost three weeks.

Tyson Steele had been living alone     2     several months in a small house in Skwentna,     3     town located 70 miles northwest of Anchorage. He had been burning a fire in     4     (he) woodstove back in December when a piece of flaming cardboard     5     (fly) up his fireplace chimney and landed on his roof,     6     started a slow fire that eventually left the cabin in ruins. Since Skwentna only has a population of about 35 people, Steele’s     7     (near) neighbor lived about 20 miles away. With no means of     8     (communicate) to call for help, Steele endured sub-zero temperatures and brutal weather conditions wearing long johns（秋裤）, boots with no socks,     9     a heavy wool sweater.

When his family and friends hadn’t heard from Steele for several     10     (week), they requested a welfare check from Alaska State Troopers. As a helicopter circled over the area, they caught sight of Steele waving his arms in the air next to a massive “SOS” sign that he had stamped into the snow.
