Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #37911 Hailstones
Instructions
Hailstones    are    a    common    of    spring    and    summer    storms,    and    can    sometimes    be    large    enough    to    cause    considerable    to    buildings,    cars    and    crops.    Hail    occurs    when    small    pieces    of    ice    falling    through    a    cloud    are    pushed    back    upwards    by    a    current    of    air    and    collect    droplets    of    water    which    form    another    of    ice.    This    process    continues    until    the    hailstone    becomes    heavy    enough    to    fall    to    the    ground.    Stones    as    large    as    13cm    have    been    reported    but    they    are    and    far    between.    Farmers    are    often    the    worst    victims    of    hail,    especially    if    it    falls    in    spring    when    it    can    paid    to    their    hopes    of    a    good    yield.    Since    preventive    measures    are    difficult    to    take,    they    often    find    themselves    at    the    of    the    elements.
