　　(From a newspaper)“… She was married to an officer in India long ago, and she had a life of physical adventure(冒险) as exciting as her poetry. Her husband could cross rivers using crocodiles(鳄鱼) as stepping stones. He died when she was only 39. Unwilling to exist without him, she took her life, leaving a young son in England.”

　　I stared at the paper, 　(1)　 reading, and couldn't help thinking.

　　Crocodiles are 　(2)　 animals as a rule, but they can 　(3)　 like lightning when they want to. And they don't mind hurrying 　(4)　 they're hungry. There used to be lots in Indian rivers, 　(5)　 on fish mostly; but what's a little fish for a fifteenfoot crocodile? They ate people, fisherman or anyone else 　(6)　 enough to get too near: women doing the 　(7)　, or children playing at the water's edge. A hungry cro's mouth 　(8)　 over a meal with a sound like a gunshot. A big fellow can 　(9)　 in a man in two bites(咬).

　　That woman's husband crossed rivers 　(10)　 from one cro's back to the next. I believe it. It had to be done 　(11)　 before the creature could see what was happening. It was 　(12)　 a brave, active man; and no doubt he 　(13)　 with practice. He could never look back 　(14)　 crossing.

　　The wife used to watch him －I felt 　(15)　 of that. She lived for the adventure, the 　(16)　 excitement of it all. Their real life was with tigers, snakes… It's no wonder she wrote 　(17)　 poetry.

　　Then he 　(18)　. I imagined how she felt. Was there another man 　(19)　 him in India, even in the world? She was still young, hardly a sitting-room widow(寡妇).“I must go, too,” she said to herself. So she did what she felt she had to do. A 　(20)　, 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?
