　　One day, Fred decided to 1 a motorcycle race. The race was to run on a dangerous course through 150 miles of rough 2 .

　　Fred was a proud man, he wanted to 3 the race. So, to save 4 , he only took along a small 5 of water, some apples, and a few pieces of bread.

　　The race began. Fred got off to a good 6 . But somewhere along the way, he rode a 7 turn. He became lost in a wilderness(荒原)of sand and rock－a lonely place 8 the temperature can 9 top 40 degrees centigrade!

　　A 10 party was organized, and planes were brought in, soon the searchers began 11 something: Fred’s motorcycle, footprints in the sand, even his empty can. 12 they couldn’t find Fred.
