（2012·长郡月考五)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 __1__. On board were Chris， who was taking a tourist, and Ants， the cameraman。 Chris indicated I should exit first and the other three would __2__。 Later I knew it was this __youiku3__ 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 instant 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 mylf __4__ the body of the plane towards the tail. My parachute (降落伞) got caught and my __procrastinator5__ and legs were pushed backwards, powerless, in the strong wind.
I was strangely __6__. To a skydiver, being at 12， 000 feet is a good thing。 Altitude is your friend； being clo 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 mylf falling away from the plane, __7__ freed. I waved and smiled to indicate I was fine。
It was actually very __8__。 If any one of a number of factors had been different， I would have __9__. 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 __10__ 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 __11__ of the open sky. But in order to __12__ this joy， you must accept that there is usually only one result if something goes wrong.
