On a hot and wet summer day, Nura and her dad found a place to cool off at the city museum. Suddenly the lights went out, leaving the room completely 1.
"Dad, what's going on?" Nura called out loudly.
"Don't worry. The lights might come back on soon." Dad said peacefully to make Nura 2. In a moment, a worker waved the flashlight at them and said, "Excuse me, sir. There is a power cut across the city. We have to 3 the museum. I will walk you to the gate."
Nura and her dad stopped at their favourite shop for ice cream. The shop owner refused (拒绝) when Nura's dad tried to 4. "Forget about it," he said. "It will all be soup soon, anyway!"
After Nura and her dad arrived home, they found the neighbours 5 their flats. Everyone shared ice water, talking and laughing about the hot weather.
"I can't stand (忍受) the 6 in my room," Mrs Fong said, fanning herself with a newspaper.
A woman who lived downstairs was standing in the doorway. "If the power doesn't come on soon, I'll have to 7 all the food," she said.
"The meat in the 8 will go bad without power," said Nura's dad. "Let's take out the grill (烤架) to cook it."
"I'll see what I have," the woman in the doorway said. "I'll make sure I bring enough for everyone."
As they had their 9, night fell over the city. The air was thick and hot, but Nura didn't mind any more. She had enjoyed 10 ice cream, and she had shared a meal with her neighbours. She smiled to herself and went on to watch the stars.
