    Mrs. Wilson, the wife of a rich man,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} （invite）some of her friends to lunch. She was trying a new way to cook fish and she was very pleased with {#blank#}2{#/blank#} （her） when the fish was ready. As the fish was very hot, she put it near the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} （open） window to cool for a few minutes. Five minutes later, when she came back for it, she was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} （surprise）to find the neighbor's cat at the fish. She was in time to stop the cat{#blank#}5{#/blank#} it was too late. That afternoon every one enjoyed the fish. They talked and laughed {#blank#}6{#/blank#}four o'clock.

    After the guests left, Mrs. Wilson felt tired {#blank#}7{#/blank#} happy. She was sitting down in a chair near the window when she saw the neighbor's cat dead in her garden.

    "After walking through the mirror, many strange things happened to Alice. One day, she{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (meet) a unicorn(独角兽).'What－is－this? 'the unicorn asked its friend. 'That is a child,' {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (reply)the friend. 'Ah,' said the unicorn, I always thought they were fabulous monsters(传说中的怪兽)! Is it alive？'Alice then said, "Do you know,' I always thought unicorns, were fabulous monsters {#blank#}3{#/blank#}? I never saw one alive before!'"

    Fifty years before Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) wrote{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (he) stories about Alice, many people still believed in the myth (神话) of unicorns. But in the early nineteenth century, a French{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (science) named Baron Cuvier showed that unicorns were only a {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (product) of imagination.

    For hundreds of years before that, things were very different. Everybody{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (believe) that unicorns were real, but very few people saw them. Julius Caesar, who built the Roman Empire, ever said that the animal had the head of a deer, the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (foot) of an elephant and a one-meter-long horn on its forehead. Marco Polo, who thought he saw a unicorn in India, agreed that it had elephants' feet and a horn, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} said it had a pig's head. He was almost certainly describing a rhinoceros(犀牛)! By the sixteenth century，when books about animals were {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (become)very popular, everyone agreed that the unicorn looked like a white horse with a horn.
