　　2. We had been living our valley for sixteen months when we first realized the dangers that could exist. It was the year when the storms came early, before the calendar even hinted at winter, even before November was out.   1

　　F．They grew so strong that we couldn’t control it.
　　G．Until then, we had felt safe and sheltered in our valley.
　　3. 1____This was not because the woods and fields were always far away, but because they were too far from the city to permit people to
