阅读理解。     On Nov.18th, 1908, three men went up in a balloon (气球). They started early in London. The headman
was Augusta Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a big balloon and they
were ready for a long way.
     Soon they heard the sea. They were carrying the usual rope (绳子), and it was hanging down from the
basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water, or it could be
empty. So they were able to change its weight (重量). It was for use over the sea. They were also carrying
some bags of sand. After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 metres, and the air was
very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men"s basket, and they could see more
snow on the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand; but it was hard. They tried to break the
icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they had to
drop some whole bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake and made a black hole in the ice.
     At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing; so they climbed to get away from the
snow. They rose to 5,100 metres! Everything became icy. They were so cold that they decided to land.
They came down in Poland heavily but safely. They had travelled 1,797 kilometers from London!1. Three men flew in balloon ______. [     ]
