A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the 31 was he found himself unable to ask for help — his mobile phone went out of 32 as a result of exhausted (用尽的)battery. Nothing could be done but 33 in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the 34 of the rescue.
It is almost 35 that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 36 : "First of all I checked up my 37 conditions and found myself not in mortal (致命的)danger.
