　　On hot summer evening , green frogs would sing from the pone , their 　　3　　 like the performance of rubber bands．But the best place to see them was not the pond but the 　　4　　 beside the road , home to the frogs 　　5　　 spring peepers．

　　I learned this on the very first 　　6　　 I went looking for frogs．Holding a torch (手电) , I moved across the driveway and over the grass toward the 　　7　　．

　　And there one was! A frog so 　　14　　 that he could have stood on a small coin．He was sitting on some grass , his skin shining in the pale light of the 　　15　　．He became silent , 　　16　　 frightened by the light．

　　Even now , a year on from that experience , I remember 　　20　　 so wonderfully alive as the frogs calling to me on that hot summer night．
