For most of the day construction worker Sidney Smith and his brother – in – law Joseph Chambers had been 21 along the banks of Lake Waco with little 22 . Chambers suggested they go home, but Smith 33 that there were still several hours of daylight 24 and there was one other place they might try a bit longer before 25 .
Smith drove his pickup（小貨車）a couple of miles along the 26 road to get to the other side of the lake. This road, in the truest sense, was a path wagging in the heavy 27 area. Even with the sun still high in the cloudless sky, the 28 of trees formed a leafy 29 over the road and it suddenly seemed 30 in the evening.
“A guy could get lost and nobody would ever find him,” said Chambers.
Smith smiled, “We’re 31 there.” He said. A few seconds later, the smile was 32 from his face.
“What the hell is that?”
He braked to a stop. Less than twenty feet away was what appeared to be a 33 .
For several minutes the two men sat in the pickup 34 to decide whether they had happened to 35 someone’s bad practical joke or something far more serious. Smith with his brother-in-law got out of the pickup and 36 walked towards that thing some distance before them.
It was a young man who was already dead. They had got to tell 37 . Back into the pickup, Smith backed the pickup down the road 38 he could turn around, then 39 back.

We often hear the phrase: "You've a greater chance of being struck by lightning." It is used to describe something that hasn't got much chance of happening. However, the common saying undermines(掩蓋) the very real dangers of lightning.
Last Friday, at least 5 people were killed by lightning in Nepal(尼泊爾).
Lightning strikes are the second most common cause of deaths during natural disasters in the US. The first is floods. Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year, and of those, 73 people die. There are more people killed by lightning than by tornadoes and hurricanes.
Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time, its danger does not receive as much attention as other disasters.
So to raise awareness, the US has made June 22-28 National Lightning Safety Week. It aims to warn the public of the dangers of lightning and provide safety tips during thunderstorms.
"If you hear thunder, you are in danger of lightning," said Rocky Lopes, a disaster educator at the American Red Cross.
"Thunder means that lightning is close enough to hit you at any minute, so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until after the storm has ended. The single most important thing to remember is to seek a hiding place," Lopes said.
Summer is the high time for lightning storms, so when lightning strikes across the sky, remember these safety tips:
Stop working, fishing, swimming or playing in open fields.
If you can count less than ten seconds between a thunder and a lightning flash, take cover inside the nearest building.
Do not stand under a tree.
Get off bicycles or motorcycles.
Crouch down(蹲下)if there is no hiding place.
Avoid open spaces, wire fences, metal objects and electrical objects such as hair driers.

A. there’s a greater chance for being killed by lightening than any other natural disaster
B. it is the most dangerous among all the natural disasters

D. it is impossible for people to be killed by lightening
2.The average death rate of being struck by lightening in US is about _______.
A.18% B.50% C. 30% D. 73%
3.thunder in the open air______.
A. just stand by your bicycles and motorcycles
B. quickly find a place to go inside
