新西兰英语 624 Avalanche survivors（在线收听）

 　　Two men who were climbing Mt Taranaki on Sunday, were caught in an avalanche but survived. They saw the snow above them racing towards them. The snow caught them and carried them about 500m down the mountain, stopping on the edge of a cliff. They were both tossed about by the snow and rolled many times, hitting their heads, but luckily they were wearing helmets. One man was buried in the snow but he managed to clear the snow from his mouth so he could breathe. Then he worked hard to get one arm up, through the snow. His friend managed to get his upper body out of the snow and dig himself out although he had a broken leg. Then he saw his friend’s arm and started digging with his hands but his right elbow was broken so it was not easy.
