1 . Have you ever imagined being friends with squirrels? Monica hadn’t until one day in October 2016 when her family ___________ a tiny, injured squirrel. They took care of her and then released (释放) her back into the ___________. They didn’t expect to ever see her again. However, five years has passed and little Bella, that’s what they called the squirrel, ___________ comes to visit them almost every day.

As a baby, the terrible ___________ made by an owl (猫头鹰) left Bella near death. She was ___________ taken in by the family, and raised by them alongside three ___________ squirrels named Larry, Curly, and Moe. Bella stayed with the family until spring 2017, when she had healed (痊愈) successfully. Thanks to a regular ___________ of fruit, nuts, and baby food, Bella was ___________ to jump on the trees in the forest. The sweet squirrel never goes too far from her adopted (收养的) home, and stops by to say hello whenever she can, ___________ such a long time has passed.

“Bella sits right at the front door ____________ someone to notice she has come by for a visit. If no one ____________ her, she will jump over to the dining room window, expecting someone to see her,” Monica said, “whenever she stops by, she asks for ____________ more than a handful of nuts.”

Guess what the most ____________ part is? A few years after Bella’s original stay with the family, she found her way back to them ____________ an injured foot — and a belly full of babies — spending another few months of recovering. “It was truly exciting to watch the baby I raised ____________ her own babies,” Monica said. Bella now even has her own social media page, where her human family documents her adventures, with thousands of followers!
