I took up skydiving in my twenties. At the time the accident happened, I'd done just 30 jumps. The airfield was quiet when I   36  . On board were Chris, who was taking a tourist, and Ants, the cameraman. Chris indicated I should exit first and the other three would   37  . Later I knew it was this   38  that saved my life.

At 12,000 feet Chris rolled up the door and nodded that it was time for my exit. I put my foot on a step just beside the door, and in an instand the propeller blast (螺旋桨气流) threw me against the side of the plane, half in, half out. I pushed and got my other leg out of the door, but in doing so I found myself   39  down the body of the plane towards the tail. My parachute (降落伞) got caught and my   40  and legs were pushed backwards, powerless, in the strong wind.

I was strangely   41  .To a skydiver, being at 12,000 feet is a good thing.Altitude is your friend;being close to the ground is deadly and will kill you.

Ants appeared and moved slowly towards me, his legs held by Chris in the door.Ants reached out and got hold of my foot.With the weight partly off, I found myself falling away from the plane,   42  freed.I waved and smiled to indicate I was fine.

It was actually very   43  .If any one of a number of factors had been different, I would have   44  .I could have hit the plane with my head.If I had been the last to exit, the pilot alone would have been unable to free me, and even if he had been aware that I was   45  underneath the plane, he would still have had to land at some point.

Blue Skies, Black Death is the skydivers' mantra (咒语).On the one hand, there's the freedom and   46  of the open sky.But in order to   47  this joy, you must accept that there is usually only one result if something goes wrong.

36.A.jumped          B.arrived          C.woke        D.dove
