完形填空
On a cold winter night, when
the moon was shining clearly, and the snow lay on the ground, two foxes started
out on a hunt to obtain something to satisfy their hunger. In order to 1 time on the boring way, they sang and frisked,
as they walked along.
For some time, they were 2 in their hunt. Neither in the wood, 3 on the plain, not in the valley, nor on the
hill, could they discover even a goose(鹅) or a 4.
At last, they came to a farmer's barn, standing by the roadside. Looking 5 in, their eyes 6 as they saw the farmer's fattest chickens
sitting inside, without a thought of the approaching 7.
Finding a hole 8 which they could enter with 9,
they hurried in, and speedily secured those unprotected chickens.
One of them, too much 10 for a second thought, abandoned(放纵)
himself without limit to the 11 before him. The other, however, having looked
carefully about him, concluded it best to control his appetite.

the opening which had just permitted them to 12 their way through was extremely small. He
thought that if, slim and half-starved, they could barely enter, but to pass
out at the same place after a rich meal could be totally 13.

and he had to escape for his life?

who should appear 15 the farmer himself? His eye instantly fell 16 the two foxes, and seizing a wooden pole, he 17 the trembling criminals hard.
The cautious one, who had
denied 18, escaped through the opening by which he
had entered. But the other, attempting to follow him, 19 firmly, and, being unable either to get
through the hole or 20 back, was easily killed by the angry farmer.
