It was Mary's birthday．She received a 1 from her uncle．“Dear Mary，”he 2 in the letter，“Happy Birthday．I' m sending you some chickens．They will arrive tomorrow．I hope you' ll like them．Uncle Toby．”
Mary was very 3 ．She liked eating eggs and chicken．“I can 4 the chickens for their eggs or eat them，”she thought．
When the chickens arrived the next day，they were put in a box．Mary was very happy．She 5 the box off the truck and began to carry 6 into her garden，but the box of chickens was so heavy that she dropped it．
The box fell 7 the ground and broke．The chickens all ran out．They ran here and there．Mary spent hours in trying to 8 them．
A few days later her uncle came．he asked，“Did the chickens arrive 9 ？”
“Yes，but I dropped the box．It broke open and the chickens ran 10 ．It took me the whole morning to look for them，”Mary said．
“Did you find them all？”asked her uncle．
“I hope so．”Mary answered．“But I only caught eleven of them．”
“That's very interesting．I only sent you six，”her uncle said with a smile．

The doctor sat back and said，“First of all，you 8 to do your best not to dream about football．Before you are falling asleep，try to 9 about something else．Try to think that you are at a party and someone is going to give you several million dollars．”
“Are you crazy(发疯的)？”The man shouted．“I'11 10 the ball！”

More than forty years ago，John William gave away what he had and went off to the mountains to live the way people live one hundred years ago．For 1 he catches wild animals，fishes in the river，and plants what he can．John lives in a 2 house he made by hand，out of trees he cut down with an axe(斧子)．Nobody lives within fifty miles of his house in the mountains and John has not been out of the mountain during the 3 years．One day last year I hiked in to see 4 John lives．It was like 5 in time．There were no roads，no stores，no noise，not even a post office．
Most notable of all，there were no people and that's just the 6 John Williams wants to keep his part of the world—without people．John is a learned man．He has 7 and nobody knows how he got them．Mostly he reads about his world，the animals，the 8 and the mountains．He has seen planes flying overhead 9 doesn't want to know about 10 ．John William is eighty-five years old and has not had a sick day in his life．
