Besides electricity, a lion fears water the most, and a 1 with thunder and lightning brings both. For that reason I always have a written agreement that frees me from performing when it is raining.
For two days it was raining without stopping. By the 2 night, it wasn't raining at all. I gave the sign to the announcer, and the band began 3 my music.
The animals went through their tricks, but they were far from 4 about the wetness.
And so we came to the head-in-mouth 5 . When I pulled Leo's mouth open, raising his face and nose to the 6 , I noticed that the muscles(肌肉) of his jaws were tense.Then, as I put my head in, a rain began pouring down.I felt Leo become tense all over.
My head was in now.I counted to ten and then gave him the tap-on-jaw 7 to let me go. But this time 8 happened.
I 9 again on his jaw. Leo's 10 was like a steel trap(夹子). I heard 11 -men were trying to get Leo's attention. But already, with my face 12 in the back of his mouth, I was finding it hard to breathe. I knew what had happened: with the 13 beating on his face. Leo had 14 me. I heard the gunfire again……
I awoke with an oxygen mask(氧气罩) 15 my face, and a doctor was working over me. “You're 16 ,” said the doctor, “as soon as you went faint(晕倒) the lion dropped you. For nearly three minutes you had no heartbeat!”
By then it had stopped raining. I called Leo back and 17 his jaw. “Don't be a fool!” the doctor said, 18 I put my head in and counted to ten. Then I gave Leo the tap on the jaw-and he obeyed immediately.
Yet, when I tried the trick again the next time, Leo 19 . I believe he was unwilling to hurt me a second time. I 20 did the trick again.

When a person is curious about something, it means he is 1 in it and wishes to know more about it. There is 2 wrong with curiosity in itself. Whether it is good or bad depends on what people are curious about.
Curiosity is 3 silly or wrong. Some persons with nothing to do are full of curiosity about what their 4 are doing. They are 5 to know what they are eating or drinking, what they are 6 home or taking outside, or 7 they have come so early or late. To be interested in these things is 8 because they are 9 at all. It is none of their 10 to know what their neighbors do or are doing. Such curiosity is 11 not only 12 but also harmful. For most probably, it 13 to small talk which often brings harm, shame of disrespect to others, and thus 14 their feelings.
On the other hand, there is a 15 curiosity--the curiosity of wise men, who wonder at all the great things and try to 16 all they can about them. Columbus could never have found America if he had not been 17 . James Watt would not have made the steam engine 18 his curiosity about the raising of the kettle lid. All the discoveries in human history have been made 19 a result of curiosity, 20 , the curiosity is never about unimportant things which have few or nothing to do with the happiness of the public.
