    After I had been waiting there   1   more than ten minutes, I felt certain I   2   have missed the bus．There was only   3   thing I could do about that: I would just have to   4   home．Of course it was entirely my own   5   ．I had told   6   the last bus always   7   Little Sutton at ten thirty exactly and it   8   now ten to eleven．It would   9   me at least an hour and a half and possibly more to walk to my home in Forest End．  10   there was a full moon in the sky and I was quite   11   to walking much farther than that．Perhaps I had   12   not take the short cut(近路)through the woods: I might easily lose my   13   in the darkness．I was halfway home when I heard a car   14   slowly behind me．Could it be my imagination   15   was it actually following me down the hill?   16   else should it be making such slow progress?

    Beavers(水獭) were once nearly extinct (绝种的). But they have made a surprising comeback in the United States.

In 1600, there must have been about sixty million beavers in North America, some in almost every stream and river. Beavers are easy to catch because they ___6___ signs of their ___7___ everywhere. But by the late 1800, the animals were almost ___8___ to find．Two things happened to save the beaver. Beaver hats went out of style and people ___9___ laws to protect the beaver. It was___10___ that without heavers many rivers were drying up and some other animals were ___11___. With a little protection beavers began to ___12___ again. Today there are about two million beavers just in the United States. ___13___ a student in wildlife ___14___, my job had two parts: to record beaver activity each day and to record any other animals I saw at “My Place”. The colony(群) I observed ___15___ to have two adult beavers and young beavers. I had to stay ___16___ for a long time ___17___ I saw beaver. Finally, the adults came ___18___ down the stream, dragging long branches behind them. If I ___19___ them, one would have given the beaver alarm call—a loud slap ___20___ the water with its tail, and both would have dived to the safety of their home.
