I drove through a snow-whitened landscape towards the Grand Canyon. It was hard to believe that this was the last week of April. Mists and fog swirled about the road. I could see nothing at the sides and【C1】a______of me except the occasional white smear of oncoming headlights. By the time I reached the entrance to Grand Canyon National Park, and paid the $5【C2】ad______, snow was dropping heavily again, thick white flakes so big【C3】______their undersides carried shadows. The road through the park followed the southern lip of the canyon for thirty miles. Two or three times I stopped in lay-bys and went to the edge to peer hopefully into the silent murk, knowing that the canyon was out there, just beyond my nose, but I couldn’t see anything. The fog was everywhere—threaded【C4】am______the trees, adrift on the roadsides, rising steamily off the pavement.
Afterwards I trudged towards the visitors’ centre, perhaps 200 yards away, but before I got there I came across a snow-spattered sign【C5】______(announce)a look-out point half a mile away along a trail through the woods, and impulsively I went down it, mostly just to get some air. The path was【C6】sli______ and took a long time to traverse, but on the way the snow stopped falling and the air felt clean and refreshing. Eventually I came to a platform of rocks, marking the edge of the canyon. There was no fence to keep you back from the edge, so I shuffled cautiously over and looked down, but could see nothing but grey soup. A middle-aged couple came along and as we stood chatting about what a dispiriting experience this was, a【C7】______(miracle)thing happened. The fog parted. Suddenly we saw that we were on the edge of a sheer, giddying drop of at least a thousand feet.
The scale of the Grand Canyon is almost【C8】bey______comprehension. It is ten miles across, a mile deep, 180 miles long. Indeed you could set the whole of Manhattan down inside it and you would still be so high above it that the buses would be like ants and people would be invisible, and not a sound would reach you. The thing that gets you—gets everyone—is the silence. The Grand Canyon just swallows sound. The sense of space and emptiness is【C9】______(overwhelm). Nothing happens out there. Down below you on the canyon floor, far, far away, is the thing that carved it: the Colorado River. It is 300 feet wide, but from the canyon’s lip it looks thin and insignificant. It looks like an old shoelace. Everything is dwarfed by this【C10】______(might)hole. [br] 【C7】
