完形填空。 This was the moming when Jeremy,14-year-old,was to begin his duck shooting. He had      1     the whole
idea ever since his father had bought him     2    and had promised him a      3     to his island. But he loved
his father and wanted to     4    him.
       They came to the beach.  To      5     the sense of fear,he took a       6      0f his father. Then he put the
camera aside and picked up the gun. His father said happily,"I"ve been      7     a long time for this day.  I"ll
let you     8     . "He
leaned(屈身) forward,eyes narrowed. "There is a small flight(飞翔的一群)  now.  Keep your head down;I"ll give you the     9     ."
       Jeremy"s heart was beating   10 " No,don"t let me come,please ! " But they came,closer,closer…" Now,take him!"cried his father. Jeremy felt his body      11     . He stood up, leaned in to the gun the     12    his father taught him.  In the same distance(时刻 ) ,the ducks saw the gunners and flared (突然飞去)  wildly.  
For a second he hung there balanced      13     life and death. There was no sound. Jeremy stood    14  ,
seizing the gun.
        " What happened?    15   didn"t you shoot?"his father said in a controlled voice.  The boy didn"t answer.  His lips were trembling(发抖). "Because they were so   16  ,"he said and burst into tears. He sat down,
face buried in his
hands and wept(哭泣). All      17     of pleasing his father was gone.  He had his chance and he had   18   .
      For a moment his father was   19  . And then he said,"Let"s try again. "Jeremy didn"t      20     his hands. "It"s no use,I can"t. "
       "Hurry,you"ll miss him.  Here! "Cold metal touched Jeremy.  He      21   up, unbelieving.  His father
was handing the camera to him,and said softly," Quick ! "Jeremy stood up and pressed his shutter release(快门)  button in a flash. "I got him ! " His face was bright.
     Jeremy saw that there was no disappointment in his father"s eyes,     22     pride and love. "I"ll always
love shooting.  But that doesn"t mean you      23     . Sometimes it takes as much      24      not to do a thing
as to do it," he paused."I think you could teach me how to operate that      25  . "
