阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I grew up in Iowa on a farm by a major highway. During serious snowstorms, people often got stuck along that road. Weather prediction in the 1950s wasn't too accurate, so we had no warning to store food before storms. Otherwise, we could keep enough food in the house to feed many people for days - including those stranded（被滞留的）.
Our large house was home to my parents and two children - my brother Bob, who was six years older than me, and I. We always had room for overnight storm "guests", but rarely knew any of them. When I was 14, a heavy snowstorm stranded seven people at our house. By 8:00 pm my family and unexpected guests were settled in, eating popcorn and watching TV.
Through the strong wind and TV, I thought I heard a loud noise outside. I heard it again. When I opened the door, I screamed. Someone was lying there, completely covered with snow, speaking unclearly and quietly about something we could not understand. Eventually, she was able to tell us that her wheelchair - bound husband was half a mile down the road with their truck stuck in the snow.
We listened in disbelief as she described crawling（爬行）along the road to our house because she knew they would freeze to death if they stayed in the truck. Through bright snow, on hands and knees, she felt her way along the highway edge to stay in a straight line.
My parents immediately called the highway police to come and locate her husband. But they were also stuck in the heavy snow. The woman cried and begged my family to rescue her husband in case he was frozen to death. Eventually, my father and brother determined to feel their way to a tractor（拖拉机）with chains on the wheels. They also carried a blanket and ropes.

Outside in the bright snow, they could only see a few metres. 
We were so excited when they returned with the woman's husband. ________

答案： Outside in the bright snow, they could only see a few metres. So it was easy to lose the sense of direction and not be able to get back to the tractor. They tied ropes around their waists and to the tractor and made their way to the truck with difficulty. When seeing the woman’s husband, Dad quickly wrapped the blanket around the poor man, managed to lift him onto the tractor with Bob, and then drove home cautiously.
We were so excited when they returned with the woman’s husband. The woman was in tears when she saw her husband again. They thanked Dad and Bob again and again. We were so proud that they had the courage to do what they had done, for it was really a dangerous adventure. For years, a large fruit or flower basket had been appearing at our house from this grateful couple. Dad and my brother taught me the meaning of “hero” that cold night. They’d probably be surprised to know what they did for a total stranger still means a lot to me.
