I stared at the paper,21 reading, couldn’ t help thinking.
Crocodiles are lazy animals as a rule,but they can move like lightening when they want to. And they don’ t mind hurrying 22 they’ re hungry. There used to be lots in Indian rivers, living on fish mostly;but what’ s a little fish for a fifteen-foot crocodile? They ate people,fisherman or anyone else delicious enough to get too near;women doing the 23,or children playing at the water’ s24 A hungry crocodile’ s mouth 25 over a meal with a sound like a gunshot. A big fellow can 26 in a man in two bites (咬).
That woman’ s husband crossed rivers 27 from one crocodile’ s back to the next. I believe it. It had to be done quickly before the creature could see what was happening. It wasn’ t 28 a brave, active man;and no doubt he improved with practice. He could never look 29 while crossing.
The wife used to watch him—I felt sure of that. She lived 30 the adventure, the 31 excitement of it all. Their real life was with tigers,snakes".It’s no wonder she wrote 32 poetry.
Then he died.I imagined how she felt. Was there another man 33 him in India, in the world? She was still young,hardly a sitting-room widow(寡妇)“I must 34 ,too. she said to herself. So she did what she felt she had to do. A 35 probably,to her head.
But her young son,their son? Was her love for him nothing compared to her husband? Well,what do you think?

请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析,谢谢!
Are you superstitious? No, of course not. Do you believe in magic (魔法), and luck charms (护身符), and elves or gremlins (小精灵) ? Certainly not, but if I should greet you with the usual How's business?" You'll answer "Oh, just so-so" although your business is profiting greatly. When you are successful in some venture you might say you were just lucky. And yet, you know it was probably due to your a bility and hard work. Why? Sometimes you knock on wood because wood was once a tree and there is a primitive belief that protective gods inhabit trees and knocking on wood attracts their attention so they may be credited with your successes.
If I should sneeze, only the strongest of you could refrain(克制而不) from saying "God bless you". Why bless this unsanitary (不讲究卫生的) habit? Our ancestors believed that a sneeze opened the body to invasion by devils, and invoking (召唤) the name of God made the devils get out in a hurry. You may not realize it, but you express this same "devil invasion" when you say, "Whatever can have gotten into that child?" or "I wonder what possessed me to do that?"
Although they may no longer be believed, evidences of superstitions that have had their origins in the primitive fear of the unknown still exist in modern language and gestures.
