A Town Mouse once visited a Country Mouse. For supper the Country Mouse served wheat stalks, roots and nuts, with some cold water for drink.

After supper, the Town Mouse ______ her life in the city while the Country Mouse listened. They then went to bed in a nest in the hedgerow(矮木树篱)and slept quietly and comfortably until morning. In her sleep the Country Mouse dreamed she was a Town Mouse with all the luxuries(奢侈)and ______ of city life that her friend had described for her. So the next day when the Town Mouse asked the Country Mouse to go home with her to the city, she said yes gladly.

When they reached the house where the Town Mouse lived, they found the leavings of a very ______ banquet(宴会)on the table in the dining room. There were sweetmeat, jellies, pastries and delicious cheese, indeed, the most wonderful food that a Mouse can imagine. But just as the Country Mouse wanted to nibble(轻咬)a little of nice pastry, she ______ a Cat mew(发出猫叫声)loudly and scratch at the door. In great fear the Mice rushed to a hiding place. They lay quite still for a long time, hardly daring to breathe. When they ______ came back to the table, the door opened suddenly and the servants came in to clear the table, followed by the House Dog.

The Country Mouse stopped in the Town Mouse’s den(兽穴)only long enough to pick up her carpet bag and umbrella.

“______ you may have luxuries and nice food that I have not,” she said as she hurried away, “I prefer my plain food and simple life in the country with the peace and safety”.

My name is Jackson. I'm a great reader with good memory. I rememberalmost everything I read. But I don't like to speak in class. When Mr.Knoll announced an oral book report, the idea of going up and having myclassmates staring at me while I talked filled me with anxiety.

As for the date, if the book report was due in two weeks, I would do itright then. Mr. Knoll, though, gave us a month to get the report ready, so Ithought I had plenty of time.

Finally, I chose Fire-Hunter by Jim Kjelgaard. It looked really interesting. I read the first few pagesand then I set it aside. I wasn't worried. I had plenty of time. Then the book got buried in the clutter(杂物)in my room.

Before I knew it, the date of the book report was a week away. Some kids had already finished. Iwas in a panic. I raced home and found the book. Trembling(颤抖),I turned to the back and discoveredthere were 218 pages! I read like crazy

The last day came. When Mr. Knoll called on me to give my report, I still had eighty pages to go.

The class looked sorry for me when I pulled myself forward. They could see my fear.

"My book is Fire-Hunter, by Jim Kjelgaard," I began slowly. Then I started to tell the story and theclass seemed interested. To my surprise, I discovered I was enjoying myself. However, I had no ideahow the book ended. I really didn't know what came over me. I made up the rest of the story on the spot.The class loved it, and applauded as I finished.

At break time, Mr. Knoll called me over. "You know, Jackson, I don't really remember the book

ending that way."

I gulped(倒吸气).

"You told a pretty good story,”he continued. "The assignment was an oral book report. You did a great job on the oral part’

"Uh, thanks," I said.

"When you actually finish Fire-Hunter, please come to me and give me the book report’

"Yes, I definitely will," I said. I knew I would never make that mistake again.
