完形填空
In a lonely village by a small river lived a young horse named Pony.Pony heard the grass on
the other side of the river was tall and sweet.One sunny morning,Pony set out,only to find the
river 1 his way.
As Pony stood on the riverbank,he met an elderly buffalo(水牛).“" Don't be 2 .The
water can on ll y reach your ankles(脚踝),” the buffalo said.Pony was about t to cross the river
when he met a little squirrel(松鼠).“ The river is too 3 .It's dangerous foryour size.You'll
get drowned(淹死),” the squirrel shouted.
Confused and unsure,Pony didn't know 4 he should listen to.At last,he decided
to find out by himself.He took a deep breath and carefully stepped into the water.To 5
surprise,the river was neither as shallow as the buffalo described nor as deep as the squirrel
said.It was just right−a perfect challenge for him to 6 .
With each careful step,Pony learnt that true understanding comes from hands−on
experience.Advice from others can be valuable, 7 one should truly get knowledge and
confidence through personal exploration(探索).As Pony 8 reached the other side,he felt
really happy.
Learning 9 doing is the best teacher.Just like the little horse in the story,we all have
to cross our own “ 10 ".We can listen to others' advice,but in the end,we have to depend on
our own experience to find the right way.
