There was a king who loved art very much. One day a(n) _________ came and said, “Oh, give me a blank(空白的) wall in your palace and let me _________ a picture on it. It will be more beautiful than anything you have ever seen before.” The king happened to have a big new hall. So he _________ the artist to work on one of the walls.

At the same time, another artist came and said, “Oh, King! Please allow me to work on the _________ wall. I shall make exactly what that man makes on the wall _________looking at his work,” The king decides to give this young man a chance.

The following day they began to work. The first artist brought in some common things, like paint, oil, water and so on. The second one came with a _________ and a bucket(桶).

A month later, they both finished the works. The king went to _________ the first artist’s wall. It was great. He was _________ with it and gave the artist a lot of money. He went to the second man — the same painting was on the opposite wall. The king was quite satisfied and gave him double money. However, he _________ how the second man had made it.

“I just polished the wall with the cloth,” the man said. The wall was made of white marble(大理石). He made it shine like a mirror. The reflection(倒影) of the first painting showed up on it!

It is said the __________ is a reflection of you, too. If you are sad, the world will be sad. If you are happy, the world will be happy.

On my recent trip to Sydney with my parents, we visited the Wildlife Park.

The Wildlife Park has lots of different animals and birds. Some are native (当地的) toAustralia and can only be found there. There are over 600 animals there, including kangaroos,koalas and crocodiles (鳄鱼). They are kept in their natural environment. I like the Wildlife Park better than a zoo where most of the animals are in cages (笼子).

We first spent some time with the kangaroos. We were allowed to touch and feed them. It was very exciting to be so close to them. There were koalas there too. They looked very cuddly (令人想拥抱的). Although we were not allowed to carry them, I got to take a photo with one. It is a wonderful souvenir (纪念品) of my holiday in Sydney.

The Wildlife Park has plenty of freshwater and saltwater crocodiles. Some of them arereally big and scary (吓人的) with huge teeth! I did not want to get too close to them.

There was also a bird show. The keepers showed us different species (种类) they had. I saw an old parrot which could “talk”. It made a great impression on me.

I enjoyed the trip very much. There was so much to see.
