Question

  Don't let Aurora's small stature (身材) fool you―her spirit is strong. She is one of 140 chickens 27        from a farm. When we saved her,she was tiny and sick and it seemed 28        that she would survive. Having never got the right 29     ,many of the chickens were sick and some 30        died.

  At a young age,Aurora and her sisters and brothers were 31        by their mum. Luckily,another mother 32        their care. Aurora seemed the last to 33        food and attention. She grew at a much slower 34        than her brothers and sisters. Everything seemed 35        her.

  At the young age of seven months,Aurora had lost two mums and was 36        to find a place with the other chickens.

  Aurora 37        found comfort with an old chicken named Margaret,staying under her wings during the cold nights,38        Margaret was so old that a few months later she died. Aurora,in her own way,thought of Mar?garet. Every evening,you would find her in the 39        spot where she kept Margaret company. 40      when the other chickens tried to 41        her away. Aurora came back.

As Aurora grew,we became 42        at her love to simply live. Nothing 43        her.

  So remember,when life seems so 44        that you can't take it,think of Aurora. She has lost two mums,watched her sisters and brothers die,and 45        from se?rious illnesses. Yet she enjoys the small,sweet 46        life has offered―safety,food,warmth and good friend?ships.
