Module 7 A famous story
第一篇
A friend of mine likes drawing horses. He draws the horses very 　 　(good). But he always begins at the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse. That is why I am 　 　(surprise). It strikes me that it cannot really make any 　 　(different) whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly(肚子) or the foot of the horse if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not 　 　(follow) other people's rules. They make their
　 　(owner) rules. Every one of them does his work 　 　his own way.
Now the very same thing is true to literature(文学). And the question "How shall I begin " only means that you want to begin at the head instead of 　 　(begin) at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有经验的) enough　 　(trust) your own power. When you become more experienced you will 　 　ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail-that is to say, you will write the end 　 　the story before you think of the beginning.
第二篇
A long time ago, the monkey and the turtle were good friends. One day, they saw a fallen banana tree and decided 　 　(plant) it. They divided the tree into two parts. The monkey took the part with leaves, thinking that it would grow 　 　(fast), then they went home and planted the two parts. Many days passed, the monkey's plant died 　 　the turtle's grew well and produced fruit. When the fruit was ripe(成熟的) the turtle asked the monkey to share it with him.
The monkey climbed up the tree and ate　 　the fruit. So the turtle got angry. He found some sharp sticks and put them around the tree. When the monkey came down, he hurt 　 　(he). The turtle laughed and hid himself under a big shell(贝壳). The monkey got very angry and 　 　(catch) the turtle.
"I'll cut you into 　 　(piece)," said the monkey.
"Good, 　 　there will be many turtles."
"No, I'll put you into the fire." "That's 　 　(good). My skin will be red. "
"No, I'll throw you into the river."
"No, "said the turtle, "I'll die."
The monkey threw the turtle into the river, and the turtle swam 　 　(happy).
