Afel was only a small boy when he first saw snow in a picture book．In the pictures he saw a lot of children playing in the snow．
Afel didn't understand what snow was．But he dreamed about snow （36）C．He dreamed of being able to fly across the snow．
One day when he was twelve，Afel was watching TV at his uncle's house．The （37）A was full of snow．Not only snow-there were people flying across the snow．
"Look!They are flying!"he shouted（38）E．
The snow，and the people…It was just like one of his dreams．
"They're （39）D．It needs snow，"said his uncle，"it's the Winter Olympics．It takes place every four years．"

Afel found out that the next Winter Olympics would be in Sochi，Russia in 2014．
"Perfect，"he thought．"Enough time for me to become a good skier．I am going to the Winter Olympics，and （40）I the gold medal for skiing．"
"But there's no snow here!"people told him．"Where are you going to ski？"
Afel made （41）G a pair of skis and skied across the sand．At first he couldn't move，but he practised and practised （42）F he could move quite quickly．
"How will you go to the Winter Olympics？"people asked him．"Our country hasn't had a team （43）J．Why not do athletics （田徑） instead？We have lots of good runners．And we have won lots of medals at the Olympics．"
Now Afel is practising skiing down sand dunes （沙丘）．He dreams that the yellow sand and brown earth of the desert （沙漠） is the white snow．
