Scott and his panions were terribly disappointed. When they got to the South Pole, they found the Norwegianshad  16  them in the race to be the first ever to reach it. After  17   the British flag at the Pole, they took a photograph of themselves  18  they started the 950-mile journey back.
The journey was unexpectedly  19   and the joy and excitement about the Pole had gone out of them. The sun hardly  20 . The snow storms always made it impossible to sight the stones they had  21    to mark their way home. To make things  22   , Evans, whom they had all thought of  23  the strongest of the five, fell badly into a deep hole in the ice. Having  24   along for several days, he suddenly fell down and died.
The four who were  25   pushed on at the best speed they could  26  . Captain Oates had been suffering for some time from his  27  feet; at night his feet swelled（肿胀） so large that he could  28    put his boots on the next morning, and he walked bravely although he was in great  29   . He knew his slowness was making it less likely that 30     could save themselves. He asked them to leave him behind in his sleeping-bag, but they refused, and helped him  31   a few more miles, until it was time to put up the  32   for another night.
The following morning, 33   the other three were still in their sleeping-bags, he said. “I am just going outside and may be 34  some time.” He was never seen again. He had walked out  35   into the snow storm, hoping that his death would help his panions.
