Question

  I leaned forward and stood close to the window. There was a goose out there,quite 4     ,its wings folded to its sides,its feet 5        to the ice. Then from the dark skies,I saw a line of swans. They moved in their own 6        style,graceful and free.

As I watched,the leader 7        from the sky and landed on the ice. As the swans surrounded the frozen goose,I 8        it might be killed by those great beaks (鸟瞭).

  9      instead,those beaks began to work on the 10     .

The long necks were lifted and curved down,again and again. At last,the goose’s head 11     its body pulled. Then the goose was 12        and standing on the ice. And the swans stood in the air 13        It seemed as if the goose was crying, “I cannot fly. ” Four of the swans came down around it. Their powerful beaks cleaned the goose’s 14      from top to bottom,chipping off the ice held in the feathers.

  15      at last the goose’s wings were free,the four swans 16        and joined the group. They restarted their eastward journey cheerfully.
