Have you ever kept animals by yourself at home? Even though my family lives in the 1 , our backyard is like a farm as three chickens are living there!

I still remember the day when I bought our chickens at a feed store when they were just chicks. We named 2 Sleepy, Twinkle, and Scott. Sleepy got her name 3 she always fell asleep in our hands.

At first, the chicks had to 4 in a box with a heat lamp to keep warm. Soon they were ready to move out. Believe it or not, our dog, Trixie, is so 5 to the chickens that she even lets them eat her dog bones! Once a coyote (郊狼) showed up behind our house. Trixie barked to keep the chickens 6 .

Our chickens depend on us to 7 them. We keep their coop (笼子) clean and fill their nesting boxes with soft bedding. In summer, we hang a screen on their coop to keep 8 the hot sun. We feed the chickens corn pellets every afternoon, but they 9 eat pebbles (鹅卵石)—They don't have teeth and eating pebbles helps them grind up their food. How interesting it is!

The chickens love to go outside when it 10 . The wet soil (土壤) is a good 11 to find insects and slugs. When Scott gets wet in the rain, her feathers stand up like spiky hair. She looks so funny!

My favorite part about having chickens is seeing what 12 eggs they lay. Sometimes the shells are tan. Sometimes they are light pink or green!

I also like the sounds that the chickens make when they lay their eggs. They 13 things like "rah, rah" and "bah-bock, bah-bock!" Whenever we hear the sounds, we know that more 14 are on the way.

Did you know there are more than 100 kinds of chickens? Each one has its own 15 . For example, Rhode Island Reds are known for laying lots of eggs. Silkies are small and have soft feathers.

Having chickens is a lot of fun. They make us laugh in the busy city life, and they lay eggs for our breakfast. What good pets!

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)

    Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born in 1835,in the state of Missouri. When he was four, his family moved to the town ofHannibal, Missouri. Hannibal was a port on the Missippi River, and Clemensloved to watch the big steamboats going up and down the river. He said that allthe boys in his school had one ambition in life: to work on a steamboat!

    His father died when he was just 12 yearsold, and Clemens then went to work for a printer to help support his family. Hetravelled around, and worked in many different cities. But when he was 22, heachieved his ambition—he got a job working on a steamboat. He sailed up anddown the wide Missippi River until the American Civil War began.

    He then moved around America, and triedseveral jobs. He was a soldier, and a silver miner. Then he started working asa writer for a newspaper. It was at that time that he decided to use a pen namefor his stories, and he chose the name "Mark Twain".

    The name is interesting. It comes from hisdays on the steamboats. He used to throw a piece of rope into the river. Therewas a heavy weight on the end of the rope, and the rope had some marks on it.He used the rope to find how deep the river was. Then he shouted out, "MarkOne" or "Mark Twain", meaning "Mark Two". Each markwas about two metres, so when he shouted "Mark Twain", it meant thatthe river was deep enough for the big boat.

    In 1865 Clemens wrote a story about ajumping frog. The story and the writer became famous. In 1867 he toured Europe.He married when he returned, and lived for most of the rest of his in Harfort,Connecticut. He wrote many books, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, whichhe wrote in 1876. He also gave many lectures, and became a very famous andpopular man.

    Once two of his friends decided to write tohim, but they had lost his address. So on the envelope they just wrote "MarkTwain, God knows where". Several weeks later, they received a replay fromthe writer. It just said, "He does!"

    Samuel Clemens died in 1910. He isconsidered to be one of America's most important writers.
