It was a Friday morning and two lovers were going through a heart-searing breakup.
As he was being  1   away from his lover,he banged on the fence  2 them. She was 3 desperate,and with all her 4squeezed through the fence and rushed to him.
A sweet kiss followed.
No,this was not a passionate Romeo-and-Juliet love 5 .The couple is not _6human.He is a ram,and she a doe.They have been living together in the Yunnan
Wild Animal Park and have been in love since last year.In a fenced area the amorous ram,7 Long Hair,has fascinated the doe,Chunzi.Liu Gencheng,has been   8  the couple for more than a year.“The two have  9  a lot of time together since they were little.”
The pair became famous after the local TV channel reported their relationship.Thousands, 10  some celebrities,left their  11 .Many gave their blessings but some,12  animal experts,left doubts. 
Cai Yue,is one of the fanatic web followers of the unusual love affair.
“I first thought this might be a joke,but when I saw these photos,the love in their eyes  13 my heart. ”
The zoo manager vowed not to separate them.But after Long Hair fathered a baby lamb with the only female sheep in the zoo last month,the manager   14  .
“The baby sheep needs care from both parents,”he said.“  15   the sheep and the deer are not able to have kids,we decided to separate them.”
The zoo’s plan was to form a “normal family” for Long Hair,letting him live with the female sheep and his baby  16  staying with Chunzi all the time.
17 ,the separation,was like a dramatic scene from a love story.
“Long Hair even hurt his baby and the female sheep with his horns.It  18  us,“Li said.”And Chunzi has been trying to lick Long Hair   19  the fence."

Among the more colorful characters of Leadville’s golden age were H.A.W. Tabor and his second wife, Elizabeth McCourt, better known as "Baby Doe". Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the Old West. Horace Austin Warner Tabor was a school teacher in Vermont. With his first wife and two children he left Vermont by covered wagon in 1855 to homestead in Kansas. Perhaps he did not find farming to his liking, or perhaps he was attracted by rumors of fortunes to be made in Colorado mines. At any rate, a few years later he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen. "A large amount of lead is sure to be found here." he said.  
  As it turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadville’s fortune and wealth. Tabor knew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, and tobacco. It was his custom to "grubstake" prospective(预期的) miners, in other words, to supply them with food and supplies, or"grub", while they looked for ore(矿石), in return for which he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered. He did this for a number of years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.
  Finally one day in the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in and asked for "grub". Tabor had decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money that way. These were persistent(坚持的), however, and Tabor was too busy to argue with them. "Oh help yourself. One more time won’t make any difference," He said and went on selling shoes and hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth of supplies, in return for which they gave Tabor a one-third interest in their findings. They picked a barren place on the mountainside and began to dig. After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. Tabor bought the shares of the other two men, and so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known as the "Pittsburgh Mine," made $1,300, 000 for Tabor in return for his $17 investment.
  Later Tabor bought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for $117,000.This turned out to be even more abundant than the Pittsburgh, producing $35 000 worth of silver per day at one time. Leadville grew. Tabor became its first mayor, and later became the governor of the state.

 A. to supply miners with food and supplies

Among the more colorful characters of Leadville’s golden age were H. A. W. Tabor and his wife, Elizabeth McCourt, better known as “Baby Doe”. Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the Old West.

Horace Austin Warner Tabor was a school teacher in Vermont. Then he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen. “Great deposits of lead are sure to be found here.” he said.

As it turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadville’s fortune and wealth. Tabor knew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, and tobacco. It was his custom to “grubstake” prospective miners, in other words, to supply them with food and supplies, or “grub”, while they looked for ore(矿石), in return for which he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered. He did this for a number of years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.

Finally one day in the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in and asked for “grub”. Tabor had decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money that way. These were persistent, however, and Tabor was too busy to argue with them. “Oh help yourself. One more time won’t make any difference,” He said and went on selling shoes and hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth of supplies, in return for which they gave Tabor a one-third interest in their findings. They picked a barren place on the mountain side and began to dig.

This mine, known as the “Pittsburgh Mine,” made $1,300,000 for Tabor in return for his $17 investment.

Later Tabor bought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for $117,000. This turned out to be even more fabulous than the Pittsburgh, yielding $35,000 worth of silver per day at one time. Leadville grew. Tabor became its first mayor, and later became lieutenant governor of the state.
