The Bone in Throat

    Once upon a time, there was a lazy wolf living in a forest. Near his house was a pond. Many animals came to 1 to drink water. The wolf was always there in search of food.

    One day, he was sitting near the pond, hoping to get something 2. When suddenly he saw a dead bull, “Aha! What a luck! Now I can eat all I want.” he thought and his 3started watering.

    He began to eat the bull. A thought came into his mind, “if 4 beast comes this way, he will ask for a share. I had better eat 5.” ‘Grub! Grub! Grub!' he chewed, faster and faster. Suddenly, a piece of bone stuck in his throat. “Ohh! Errk!” cried the wolf. He tried to pull it out of his mouth. He tried to cough it out but it didn't 6 . Next, he tried to swallow (吞) it down but he failed.

    “Ooh, the bone in my throat hurts me. What 7 I do now?” thought the wolf. Soon he remembered that a crane (鹤) lived on the nearby river bank.

    The wolf went to the crane and pleased, “My dear Crane! I have got a bone stuck in my throat. I will give you a present 8 you pull it out of my throat.” The crane took pity on the wolf. He asked the wolf to look up 9 his mouth open. The crane then put its head into the wolf's mouth and pulled out the bone. “Oh! What a relief!” the wolf said. “Now where is my present?” asked the crane. “What present?” the wolf replied, pretending not remembering its promise. “You said that you would give me a present if I removed the bone from your throat,” said the crane angrily. “Hah! Isn't it a present that you put your head into my mouth and got out 10? I could have easily broken your head while your head was inside my mouth.”

    In July 1969, Nei Armstrong became the first 1 to walk on the moon. People all around the world watched their televisions and 2 the spaceship to 3the earth. We have now discovered a lot more about our Solar system, and we have sent news to Mars, but no one has walked on that planet 4. But I believe that one day 5will.

    I don't like to stay at home during holidays. Last summer, my family took a 1to Hong Kong. It 2an interesting trip.

    We went there by plane, because we wanted to get there quickly. We3 there at about eleven o'clock and we had lunch there. We ate the seafood. It was delicious. The weather was sunny and 4 so we swam in the sea. There were 5people on the beach.

    Disneyland is the place that I like best there, so we 6visited the Disneyland. It is a 7place. We stayed in Hong Kong 8a week. We took many photos and bought lots of souvenirs. And then, we went home9.We just10a good time.

    I enjoyed the trip. It was really a fantastic trip.

    It was such a beautiful day that I drove to go for a look in the country. On the way back home, my car 1.

    It was out of gas on a lonely road far from a town, I decided to walk 2 I got help. I had walked almost a mile before I finally found a house near the road. I was glad to see it 3 it was getting dark.

    I knocked at the door and a little old lady 4 long gray hair came out. She said. "I've been 5 for you for a long time, Come in, 6 is almost ready."

    "But I only come for some gas," I answered. I couldn't understand 7 she was talking about.

    "Oh, Alfred! Gas? You used to like tea," she said.

    I quickly explained my problem， 8 she didn't seem to hear me. She just 9 calling me Alfred and talking about how long it had passed 10 she had seen me. She acted very strangely and I felt very 11. As soon as she went to get tea, I ran out of the house as fast as I could.

    12 ，there was another house down the road and I was able to buy the gas I needed. When I told the man about my 13 , he said, "Oh, that's Miss Bronte. She lives by herself in that big house, She's strange. She's out of her mind. But don't worry. She won't hurt anybody. She is still 14 the man she was supposed to marry thirty years ago. The day before their wedding he left home and 15 came back because of the war."
