— I ________ a walk by the lake with my husband.

    Over a river there was a very narrow(窄的)bridge. One day, a goat was 1 this bridge. Just at the middle of the bridge, he met another goat. There was no room for them to pass. "Go back," said one goat to the other "There is no room for 2 of us."

    "Why should I go back?" said the other goat. "Why 3 you go back?"

    "You must go back," said the first goat, "because I am 4 than you." "You are not stronger than me," said the second goat.

    "We will see about that," said the first goat, and he put down his horns(羊角)to fight. "Stop!" said the second goat. "If we fight, we shall both 5 into the river and be drowned(淹死). 6 I have plan-I shall lie down, and you may walk over me."

    Then the wise goat 7 down on the bridge, and the other goat walked 8 over him. So they passed each other, and went on their ways.

, we felt very shocked.

at eight by the park yesterday?

    There are many kinds of seabirds. The most ordinary seabird is the seagull. It has a white body. a white head, and yellow beak(喙). There is spot of red at the very end of the beak, underneath. All seagulls have very strong wings so that they can fly far out to the sea. If a gull flies out too far, it will be too tired to fly back to the shore. It does not get frightened, for it can sit and rest upon the waves. A seagull's' wings do not get wet because all its feathers(羽毛)have a kind of oil(油)over them so that when the water gets onto the feathers it just runs off. Gulls can even sleep on the waves.

    Sailors(水手)know lot about seagulls and they never kill them. When the gulls fly a long way out to the sea, sailors say that it means fine weather is coming. When the gulls stay near the shore, sailors say that there will be much wind and rain, and perhaps a storm, for the gulls know more about the weather than the sailors do.
