一、完形填空
I was visiting my grandpa's farm in Kansas, and Grandpa sent me into the woods to pick up pecans(核桃) for us to enjoy later. I wasn't about to let him down. But pecan picking was 1. My basket was only half full.
Then something 2 my eye: a squirrel picked up a pecan, climbed up a tree and disappeared into a large hole. A moment later, the squirrel 3 to the ground and picked another pecan. 4, he took the pecan back to his hiding place inside the large hole of the tree secretly.
Not so 5 any more, I thought. I ran over to the tree and found the hole was filled with sweet pecans. They were right there for the taking. This was my 6. Handful by handful, I took all the pecans from the hole. Now the basket was full!
I was so 7 of myself. I couldn't wait to show Grandpa all of the pecans I had collected.
"Look, Grandpa," I shouted. "Look at all of the pecans I found!" Grandpa took a look at my basket. "Well, 8 did you find so many, Jimmy?" I told him everything. After hearing that, Grandpa looked at me, 9 me for finding out something about the squirrel's habits. Then he did something that 10 me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm 11 my shoulders gently.
"That squirrel worked very hard to collect his winter food," he 12. "Now that all of his pecans are gone, don't you think that little squirrel will be very hungry when it gets 13?"
"I didn't think about that," I said.
"I know," Grandpa said. "But a good man should 14 take advantage of(利用) someone else's hard work, even the squirrel's."
Suddenly I felt really ashamed(羞愧的). The 15 of that hungry squirrel wouldn't leave my mind.
