Bears and humans often meet in National Parks． 1 campers and hikers are warned not to feed the bears-many people ignore these warnings and feed the bears 2 ．When bears are used to people’s food- 3 soon arise．Bears like to eat a large variety of things-both meat and vegetables．Without human assistance-bears live 4 on roots-twigs-leaves of trees-insects and small animals．With people 5 -the bears’ tastes quickly 6 to include sandwiches-hot dogs-hamburgers-and anything else they can temp humans into 7 ．
Bears often 8 clever strategies(策略) for getting people to let go their food supplies． 9 -an unsuspecting(无戒备心的) hiker has taken off his or her pack for a rest only 10 a bear charge out of the woods- 11 the pack and quickly disappear into the underbrush with it．Hanging the pack on the tree branch won’t 12 ．
Bears have been known to climb up-jump off-and catch the pack on the 13 down．One mother bear stretched up with her baby on her shoulders to reach a pack stored on a pole．Many bears 14 people into giving up their supplies．Although a bear is 15 to attack a person and would probably run away 16 screamed at-few people are willing to do so．Most people 17 the pack and run the other way．This-of course-delights the bear．In some places-the Park Service installed(安装；设置) some metal barrels with lids to help campers keep their 18 safe from bears．Although the bears were unable to open these containers-the effort was 19 successful．Most campers-unable to 20 the metal drums from rubbish cans-never used them for the intended purpose．
As my wife greeted me one evening, her voice came through the door,“Guess what?”
I always take a deep 1 on this very leading question．“What?”I asked．
“I just won a sales contest at work and the 2 is dinner for two at the new fancy restaurant down by the river-front!”
She was so 3 ．We knew the restaurant was extremely good．“See?I told you there would be a 4 for me to wear my new spring outfit,”she shyly reminded me．
“ 5 can play at that game,”I responded．“I will wear my gray suit, my Borsalino imported straw hat and a new silk tie．We will be well 6 ．”
It was early 7 and nearing dusk as the waiter took us to a table by a window, with a(n) 8 of the river．And the table was 9 set, with a smoke-gray tablecloth and bright colored napkins．
A delicious meal 10 in such an atmosphere should be remembered a long time．As it 11 , this will probably never be forgotten．
As the shadows lengthened, the 12 rocking by the riverbank, I murmured,“Why not take a walk?”
Hand in hand, we walked by the stores．People smiled and nodded．“I 13 realized there were so many 14 people as we have seen this evening, dear,”I observed．
“Probably your new straw hat or your 15 ,”she said．
After receiving many smiles, we 16 ourselves back at the restaurant, looking at ourselves in the 17 ．It was then that I saw the 18 for all the smiles．
Caught in the fly of my trousers and 19 down for all to see was a bright red 20 from the restaurant!

完形填空。
In my third year as a high school athletics coach, I gave a speech telling students and parents about the benefits of football．I gave the same 1 each year, aimin g at recruiting(招收)new team members．I talked about 2 football wasn't just for 3 athletes and how everyone could 4 from it．This year, a 5 looking couple approached me after my speech．They said their son really wanted to play football．They had tried to 6 him out of it, but he had his heart 7 on joining the team．
When they told me his name, my heart sank．Michael was five feet and ten inches tall and weighed about 108 pounds．He was a 8 boy, the constant target of other kids' jokes, and as far as I knew he had never 9 sports．I knew he would never 10 it through football practice, let 11 as a player．But we told them we could give it a try．
On the opening day of practice, Michael was the first player on the field, we did 30 minutes of warming-up 12 starting a one-mile jog around the track．I 13 my eye on Michael．At 50 yards he fell, and I helped him to his feet．“Michael,”I said,“Why don't you just 14 the mile?”He said in tears that he wanted to run with the others, so I let him go on． 15 he fell, but each time 16 himself up．
The same thing happened every day for weeks, and Michael gained strength both 17 and physically．By the last week of practice, Michael could run the mile without falling, we had 18 only one game that season, 19 the team cheered louder for Michael's run than the victory they had, Afterward, Michael approached me, and I told him how 20 I was of him．
