　　Zigfried, a little mouse, blew his breath on the frosty window of the farmhouse and rubbed it to see the outside．Still nobody came．Maybe today, he thought 　　1　　．It was only a few days before Christmas and he was watching for a miracle(奇迹)．

　　This farmhouse had been 　　2　　 too long．It needed a family．Zigfried's 　　3　　 made a noise．He realized that he hadn't eaten anything since yesterday．He jumped from the windowsill(窗沿), grabbed a 　　4　　 from his home, and went next door to Farmer Mike's．

　　Farmer Mike's house had been a great place for the little mouse 　　5　　 the farmer married a wife who had a cat．Zigfried 　　6　　 when he thought of it．He looked around cautiously as he 　　7　　 into the room where grain was stored and was quite 　　8　　 as he filled his bag with wheat．He was turning to leave when suddenly he 　　9　　 a hot breath about his ear．His heart beat　　　10　　 , and without thinking he started to run and luckily 　　11　　 the cat's paws(爪子)．

　　The next afternoon Zigfried heard some good news：a 　　12　　 family would be moving into the farmhouse soon．Zigfried's granny would arrive on Christmas Eve to 　　13　　 with him．He hoped that the family would come before his granny came．Before long, a car came 　　14　　 the road leading to the house, with butter sandwiches, cheese and chocolate．

　　Zigfried's Christmas miracle did arrive!

　　The house came 　　15　　 the next few days．Zigfried 　　16　　 every single hour of them．　　17　　, the day before Christmas when he was drinking hot chocolate with a 　　18　　 smile at the door of his home, he heard the 　　19　　 of the children of the family about what they might get for Christmas．What? A cat? The 　　20　　 froze on his face; his mouth fell wide open．After a long while, he at last found his voice：“Hey! Whose Christmas miracle is this?”

There are times when people are so tired that they fall asleep almost anywhere．We can see there is a lot of sleeping on the bus or train on the 　　1　　 home from work in the evenings．A man will be 　　2　　 the newspaper, and seconds later it 　　3　　 as if he is trying to 　　4　　 it．Or he will fall asleep on the shoulder of the stranger 　　5　　 next to him．　　6　　 place where unplanned short sleep 　　7　　 is in the lecture hall where a student will start snoring(打鼾)so 　　8　　 that the professor has to ask another student to 　　9　　 the sleeper awake．A more embarrassing(尴尬)situation occurs when a student starts falling into sleep and the 　　10　　 of　the head pushes the arm off the 　　11　　, and the movement carries the 　　12　　 of the body along．The student wakes up on the floor with no 　　13　　 of getting there．The worst time to fall asleep is when 　　14　　．Police reports are full of 　　15　　 that occur when people fall into sleep and go 　　16　　 the road．If the drivers are 　　17　　, they are not seriously hurt．One woman's car, 　　18　　, went into the river．She woke up in four feet of 　　19　　 and thought it was raining．When people are really 　　10　　, nothing will stop them from falling asleep -- no matter where they are．

　　Outside the city, Joe drove slowly down the river road．　　3　　 on he saw something in the middle of the 　　4　　．He stopped the car．Tony sat 　　5　　 in the back seat．“What's wrong?”he asked in a sleepy voice．Old Joe pushed the head forward to see what 　　6　　 the road．“It's one of those fish-killing turtles,”he said．Tony opened his eyes wide and looked at the 　　7　　 thing．It was the biggest turtle he had 　　8　　 seen．

　　The two men got out of the car and stood 　　9　　 down at the turtle．It looked like a 　　10　　 green rock．Suddenly, it moved a little and 　　11　　 sharp marks in the dirt．Then it stopped．

　　“　　12　　 he is going to the river,”Tony said, “these turtles kill fish．”They 　　13　　 it．“I could crush him under the wheels of the car,”Tony said, “　　14　　 he is too big．”

　　The turtle pushed his ugly head toward the men．“He thinks there is going to be a 　　15　　,” Tony said,“I wish I had brought my gun．”

　　“You are not going to 　　16　　 him, are you?”Old Joe asked．

　　“Yes!” agreed Old Joe．“They kill fish．　　17　　 lets them do it．The turtle kills fish to eat and 　　18　　．We kill fish too－we men．Do we kill them so we can live? No．We do it for 　　19　　．”

　　Old Joe walked around behind the turtle and gently pushed it with his shoe．The turtle went forward 　　20　　 the road and into the tall grass．He was going toward the river．
