Discovery

In a vacation, my brother and I decided to go off for a long walk while we were staying in the countryside. On the top of a mountain, a sudden ______ began to fall and the temperature dropped a lot. It became so dark that we couldn't see the path clearly.

It was difficult for my brother and me to ______ over rocks in the heavy rain. As I paused（停）under a tree, I noticed a cave between two huge rocks. I suggested to make a fire and warm ourselves in the cave. So my brother and I picked up some wood that was still ______ and carried it back to the cave. I lit the fire with matches in my pocket. We sat down and ate our sandwiches around it.

In the cave, the flames ______ light onto its ceiling.“Funny,”said my brother, “You can see shapes on the rock. One of them looks a bit like a deer. There is its head and there are its feet. It almost looks as if someone has ______ it.”I took a burning branch（树枝）and went to examine the rock. Now I could see a shape of a smaller deer. Then we went further into the cave. In front of us was a wall of ______. There were birds, too, with the eyes carved（雕刻）out of the rock and painted white. We could see a snake, a bear, a wolf, but no people.

At that night, my brother and I were so ______ that we did not get to sleep until very late. We talked and wondered about the people who had lived here before. Neither of us realized that these carvings and paintings ______ back 15,000 years, nor that the title in the newspaper would be“The Find of the Century-Children Aged 13 and 11 Discover Cave Paintings.”
