4 . In Alsager, England, 45-year-old David Scott brought his infant son into the backyard. As they _________ their trampoline（蹦床）, they saw shadow. No, it was _________. There was a wild animal, over two feet tall, walking through David's garden _________ close to the child. David reacted how most people would: by shouting.

Anna, a primary school teacher, _________ her husband in the yard. "I thought it was a dog at first. But with a bushy tail, I thought it might be a wolf." Anna later said. The family had no _________ as to what the animal could be. Would this wild animal _________ their young son? As the animal approached, the couple could only fear for their child.

Anna took photos of the animal, posted them on Facebook and asked people for help. While many people _________ to Anna's Facebook post, one answer _________. It was from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals（RSPCA）, and they had some _________ news for Anna. According to the RSPCA, the animal was a silver fox. Silver foxes are incredibly __________ especially in the United Kingdom, because they are frequently hunted for their __________ fur.

The Stapeley Grange Wildlife Centre checked the animal and confirmed that he was __________, but "a little overweight." As a result, it was believed that he was a lost or __________ pet.

5 . Once I went with my brother to watch how the villagers caught fish in the local pond. Usually the locals catch fish in the _______ morning. It was exciting so we _______ at 4 o'clock. Not only did it sound like a(n) _______ to me, but it also turned out to teach me a _______lesson.

The fishermen had a big fishing net, one side of which was _______ along with the boundary of the pond and the other end was taken to the _______ boundary of the pond underwater. After a certain time they slowly started _______ the free end towards the fixed end. Most fish got _______ inside the net and the fish had already started feeling _______ wrong. Because of the lack of ________, they started panicking. Some started ________ to get out of the net. Though they knew getting out of the water was a big risk, they still ________ their best to jump with all their strength; ________ few fish got out of the net. I asked a fisherman about the fish that “escaped”. They told me it usually ________ that next time they would again get ________ after another 6 months. Hearing this, I realized one of the greatest life lessons. The fish that took the risk actually ________ their life time by 6 months! I ________ what would happen if they lived in big lakes. Maybe, they could live longer.

In life there are certain situations where we might feel we are ________ our living space. We take the biggest risk of our lives and jump out of the space, ________ we fall into another small one where we may end up failing. So we need to be wise enough to choose to live in much ________ spaces where we have more conditions to help survive or succeed.

6 . While I was waiting to enter university, I saw in a newspaper a teaching job_______at a school about ten miles from where I lived.

However, three days later, a letter arrived, calling me to Croydon for a meeting with the headmaster.

It was clearly the_______himself that________the door. He was short and round.

"The school," he said, "is made up of one________of twenty-four boys between seven and thirteen." I should have to teach all the subjects except art, ________he taught himself. I should have to divide the class into ________groups and teach them in turn at three different ________, and I was________at the thought of teaching maths—a subject at which I wasn’t very ________at school. Worse perhaps was the idea of________to teach them on Saturday afternoon because most of my friends would be________themselves at that time.

Before I had time to ask about my salary, he got up to his________. "Now" he said, you’d better meet my wife. She is the one who really________this school.
