An English padre(神父) wanted to become a member of a certain club in Africa.In order to
become a member,each person had to __1__ at least one lion.The padre had never shot an
animal for his life.So,armed with a rifle and led by a young African boy,the padre set out one
evening for a pool in the jungle where he was told a lion came each evening to __2__.He waited
patiently for a few __3__until shortly before midnight when he heard a rustling(沙沙声) noise.
Sure enough a few feet away the head of the lion appeared above a bush that separated the
padre and the pool.He aimed and fired.The head of the lion__4__fell behind the bush but a
moment later __5__.So the padre aimed and __6__again.The head of the lion fell behind the
bush and once more reappeared.The padre fired again: the same __7__.He remained calm
because he __8__he had brought sixteen bullets with him.After his fourth try,his aim seemed
to become more and more __9__: in fact,after his __10__ try the African boy had to __11__
him:"This is your last chance.If you __12__ this time,we are in trouble." The padre then realized
how __13__the situation was,so he took a deep breath,aimed very carefully and fired.They
waited for a moment,and then slowly __14__ up to twenty: the head of the lion did not
reappear.The padre was certain that at last he had shot his lion.They __15__ forward together
to the spot behind the bush.And what do you think they found? Sixteen lions!

Just before Christmas 1978,Kenneth was a passenger in a car as it drove through the Navajo Nation.

Later,when he saw how sad the boy"s family were,Kenneth made a(n) 2 .He would "do whatever
it takes to make 3 happy at Christmas time".
A year later,at the age of 18,he was living with his mother and younger brother.They were hardly
making ends meet on his low wages,but Kenneth bought a used Santa suit and went around 4 people
as poor as himself to give candy and fruit for families even more needy.
Just before midnight on Christmas Eve,he went knocking on doors of 5 houses in the poorest
section of the Navajo Nation.Many of the darkened homes didn"t have 6 .
Some families were 7 to open their doors so late at night."It"s a man! He has a big bag!" He 8

dangerous experience I have ever had.
On the morning of the excursion,I met with my friends for breakfast,with little conversation.I supposed
we were nervous about the day ahead of us.The coach then drove us from Cape Town to Dyer Island in
Gansbaii.
As soon as we got to our destination,we were quickly pushed into a boat.About 2 hours into the boat
we spotted our first shark.It was one of the world"s deadliest predators(食肉动物)-a Great White shark
Our guide told us that we had to get into the water immediately.Without any formal preparation or
instruction,we put our thick wet suits on and jumped into the iron cage.
There I was in this tiny cage with 3 Great White sharks circling around me.I tried desperately to take
pictures with my underwater camera,not letting my hands and feet drift(漂)out of the cage.
When I took a breath,life above the water seemed chaotic(混乱的).But,I would drop back under
the water and life would seem to stop existing.And the sharks that always appeared frightening on TV or
in photographs actually appeared peaceful in person.
After an hour,I decided it was probably time for me to get out once the sharks started to become
really aggressive.I waited until the very last second I could,since I knew I would probably never do this
again.
