It was a(n)
16
day for Mr and Mrs Lin. The old couple was on holiday at a
17
resort (旅游胜地). They were
18
a walk in the early afternoon when suddenly the ground started to
19
. In just two minutes, everything changed completely! They were in the middle of a very strong
20
!
The Lins tried to
21
some other people first. One by one, they found 23 other people. Many were tourists, young and old. Soon it was dark
22
it started to rain heavily. Some cried and some lost hope.
At that moment, Mr Lin decided to take the lead. He called for everyone's attention and said, "The roads are wet. We can't go down the mountain
23
tomorrow. We must stay here tonight." They all knew that they were
24
danger. Then Mr Lin and a few young men went back to the ruins to
25
food and blankets(毯子). They found some, but not
26
for everyone. The young people gave theirs to the older ones. After that, Mr Lin divided the people into five groups. Each group had a leader. He also
27
all the mobile phones and made sure each group had one. They used them as flashlights(手电筒). Every 30 minutes, the group leaders flashed their mobile phones, and the
28
on the dark rainy night made everyone feel safe.
Early the next morning, the groups started to go down the mountain. It was a difficult journey, but the group members encouraged and supported each other.
After twelve hours' walking, they finally got out safely. By then, it was 30 hours after the earthquake. Everyone was
29
but they felt lucky because they were part of a special team. This special team gave them hope for life. They also knew that
30
an earthquake happens, the most important thing is to stay calm.
