2. 安徽省马鞍山二中2009届高三第四次模拟考试  完形填空

Oh God! I think I was about seven when my sisters and I pulled this stupid stunt（惊险动作）. 

I remember we were watching TV when we heard my  36  , Chris, shouting from the backyard. We all    37    out to see what happened.   38   we finally located him, he was in a tree   39   from the highest tree branch. Crying, he explained he had climbed up the tree and couldn’t get down. One of us should climb up but we couldn’t   40   to get him moving down. 

Luckily, my youngest sister, Ka, five then, had seen a(n)  41  situation. She suggested we grab a   42   , hold it under the branch, and tell him to   43    so we could catch him. My other sister, Yams, one year younger than me, looked at me eagerly to    44    her idea and I said “Yeah, let’s try that.” 

Immediately we    45    a sheet and held it beneath the tree. Now mind you, the ages holding this blanket were    46    from seven to five, thus the sheet was probably being held up to our waist and also close to touching the ground. But we were    47    it could work.

Chris, my brother, aged four, looked down at us with hesitation, asking in a  48  voice, “Are you sure I’ll land on the blanket?” But because of a problem at   49   with his tongue being a bit attached to the mouth, it came out like this, “Ah you sho awill lan on da blanked?” “Yup!” I told him, “We’re sure!” and he let go. 

How    50    he was to trust us! And no matter how   51  we held, Chris fell right   52   that sheet and landed on his stomach. This tiny seventy-pound boy had made a big    53    right in the sheet!

Because he wasn’t moving, we bent down to sense if he was still alive. Slowly, he uttered these five words, “Ah stee hi da flow!”,    54  ,  “I still hit the floor!” Poor little man! 

Now Chris is fourteen and he still blames us about it.  55  , he wants to be a fireman when he grows up.
