My attacker rushed me again. He rammed(沖撞) me in the chest with his head and body, __4__ me over and over again with all his might. For a second time, I retreated a step. Yet again, I tried moving forward. My attacker charged me again. I wasn't sure what to do, __5__ to retreat a third time. This time, though, I stepped back several paces to __6__ the situation over. My attacker moved back as well to land on the ground. That's when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier. He had a mate and she was __7__.
She was beside the puddle where he landed.
Had I been hurt I wouldn't have found it amusing, but I was __8__， it was funny, and I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!
Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to __9__ her. I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his __10__ for his mate.

Last weekend, I was walking across the village green(草坪) when I saw an elderly gentleman on the bench, just overlooking the duck pond. I thought he looked a bit forlorn(被遺棄的) so I went over and sat next to him.
After a few __1__ about how nice the weather was and how there were a lot of ducks in the pond today, he told me how he used to come with his wife and watch the children feed the ducks with their mums. They didn't have any __2__ of their own. So they cherished being together even more.

I remarked at how wonderful it must have been to have been married for so long and to have so many happy memories. He took out a large __5__ and wiped his eyes and said he had one regret that in all that time he __6__ told her how much he really loved her.
He showed me a photograph of them when they were young. The photo was taken more than 50 years ago. He couldn't believe how the time had __7__.
I tried to comfort him by explaining that his wife would be still __8__ over him and he could talk to her __9__ he wants and that she knows how much he loved her because she can see into his heart.
The old man tried to __10__ for blurting out his life story but I hushed him and said how privileged I felt he could talk to me and how much it meant to me.
