　 During the storm in Dubuque，the strong winds lifted small frogs from nearby ponds(池塘) 25 the air along with raindrops．When some of these frogs became covered with ice，both hailstones and“frog-stones”fell onto the ground．

    These days，cars are designed using computers．Let’s look at how a new car is created．

    First，several   16   talk about the new car and any good ideas that they have．Then they sit down at their computers and   17   many sketches．The best two or three drawings are chosen and then more detailed drawings of   18   are developed on the computer．You can change the size，shape or colour of any part on the computer to see   19   the car would look and then you can choose the best design．

    Both the inside and the outside of the car have to be designed．Part of the inside of the car is     20  so that the designers can sit in it．They can feel if there is enough  21  inside and if they can reach  22  ．Then some cars are built-there are more than 15，000 parts of a car to 23  ．

    When everything is known to be   24   ，the cars are made in the factory．Again，computers are used to make sure that all the parts are   25   as they are needed．The factory

usually stays open all through the night so that the car production never stops．
