The British usually expect one or two snowfalls each year, but the amount of snow rarely affects everyday life.   36, this week Britain has had the worst snow it has   37  in around 18 years. Some places had more than 30cm in a day.

The bad weather  38   severe trouble. More than 3000 schools  39  to close as teachers and pupils were unable to get to school.

School   40  weren’t too unhappy about it, though, as they headed  41  to play in the snow, building snowmen, having snowball fights, sledging and some even snowboarding and skiing.

In London, bus   42  were stopped for a day and the underground and trains were cancelled.   43  motorways in the country had to close.

Many people were unable to get to work and  44  is thought that the cost of this lost labour is around &1 billion to businesses and the economy.

  45  wanting to leave the country had problems too. Runways were   46  at all the UK’s major airports   47  the amount of snow. Hundreds of flights were cancelled,   48  some passengers trapped at airports.

So   49  is the UK so ill-prepared for snow? The mayor of London, Boris Johnson,   50  that there aren’t enough snow –ploughs and gritters(撒沙机) and it doesn’t make sense to buy   51 equipment when it snows so infrequently.

The southeast of England was the hardest __52__ at the beginning of the week but the snow is now  53   northwards where the chaos continues.

More ice and snow is forecast   54 the week and the advice from travel and weather organizations is to stay indoors  55 you really need to venture out!

　　Twenty-five years later another group of graduate students was 　37 the job of testing the 　38 . They went back to the same area. Some of the boys— 39 men—were still there，a few had died，some had moved away， 40 they got in touch with 180 of the 　41 200. They found that only four of the group had ever been sent to prison.
