完形填空
My
previous home had a stand of woods behind it and many animals in the backyard.
That first year,
I 1 feeding peanuts to the blue jays,
then the squirrels.
The squirrels had no 2 coming up right to me for them.
As the months went by,
the rabbits saw that I was no 3 and
didn't escape. When I threw carrot slices(薄片), they even came for a nibble(啃). Slowly they came to 4 me, and by the end of the year they were eating out of my hand.
That second year,
the rabbits 5 me,
and one would even sit up for slices!
While I was feeding them,
I 6 that a groundhog who used to run away was now
taking an 7 interest in this food situation.
I carefully extended a long 8, with a keen eye on those teeth,
and 9, there were times I would have the groundhog sitting next to a
rabbit, both
munching(津津有味地咀嚼) on
carrots.
A few months later,
while 10 ,
she would even turn her back to
me. 11 when she was facing away,
I reached out and 12 scratched(搔) her back with my finger.
She didn't move.
By year three,
the rabbits and the groundhog
were back. The
groundhog 13 didn't have a problem with me scratching her
back, and I
got an idea. I'd
always 14 ,
while slicing up carrots,
that the end looked like a cap.
15 one day,
just to see what she would do,
I gently 16 one on top of the groundhog's head.
Again,
not a 17 .
The next time,
I had my camera ready to record
what you see here, one of several dozen such pictures.
18 she had a slice to eat,
she never 19 the one on her head.
It was a fair 20 —
I got a pleasure, and she had yet another tasty treat.
