2 . 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容或括号内所给词的恰当形式填空。

Before I went to the British Koi Keepers’ Annual Show, I didn’t understand     1     people could take fish so seriously. However, the more I learned about koi, the more interested I became. As one expert told me, “Collecting koi is far more addictive than you might think. They’re as beautiful as butterflies and very calming to watch.” Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen, would have agreed the pool in his specially-built Japanese garden was home to 89 koi,     2    cost up to £10,000 each.

At the show I met koi enthusiast Jean Kelly. She told me. “One Koi recently was sold for £250,000.“I was shocked-that’s almost as much as I paid for my house. “Well, that was a record,”     3     (admit) Jean.

Nevertheless, serious collectors can pay up to £15,000 for a fully     4     (grow) koi, which is nearly as expensive as a new luxurious car. The cheapest I     5    find was £75 each, but they were only about twice as big as my goldfish.

Jean wasn’t impressed by one of the koi on sale either. “Actually, these koi aren’t any nicer than     6     (me),” she commented. “    7     they are slightly bigger than the ones I’ve got, I paid considerable less than this.”

I wasn’t quite as enthusiastic as Jean, but I did consider     8     (buy) one. Jean assured me that with all the new equipment available, looking     9     koi was no harder than taking care of any other pet. However, in the end I decided to stick with my goldfish. They’re not nearly as beautiful as koi-but they’re a great deal cheaper     10     (replace)!
