Question

Ayers Rock is right in the center ofAustralia. It's nearly two thousand kilometers away1    Sydney, so we flew most of the way. It was very cloudy2    . But after we left the mountains behind us,there was hardly a cloud in the sky. Most of the land below3    sand,though Dad told me it was greener than you think. "There are a lot of sheep down there"，he said, "but there are4    people living there!" Ayers Rock is a large, low mountain. The day after we arrived,we got up early in the morning before the sun5     We started climbing up before it was light. It got too hot for climbing later. Lower down,6    Ayers Rock,most of the ground is covered with forest and grass, and there are even7    small rivers. But when you climb higher,you will find nothing grows there at all. We didn't reach the top8    it was too hot.9    is sand. In the evening, when the sun goes down,the sand is almost red. The sky is red too,so it is very beautiful.10    we only stayed there for a few days,we had a great time.
