I ran across an old photo of him the other day, thinking of some old things. He’s been dead for 25 years. His name was Rex.
1_____ was his favorite recreation(娱乐). He had so much 2_____ in the water as any person I have known. You didn’t have to throw a stick in the water to 3_____ him to go in. Of course, he would bring back a stick to you if you 4 _____ throw one in.
That 5 ____ me of that night, 6_____ he brought back a small box that he found somewhere--- how 7_____ nobody ever knew. Since it was Rex, it 8_____ easily have been half a race. The box wasn’t a god one. It was just a 9______ old piece that somebody 10______. Still it was something he wanted, probably 11_____ there was some difficulty in transportation（运输）. And that he thought could test his courage. We first knew about his achievement when, deep in the night, we 12 _____ him trying to get the box up onto the porch(门厅). It sounded 13_____ two or three people were trying to tear the house 14 _____. We came downstairs and turned on the 15_____ light. Rex was on the top step trying to pull the thing up, but it had 16_____somehow. And he was just holding his own(坚持着). I suppose he would have held his own 17_____ dawn if we hadn’t helped him. The next day we carried the box miles away and threw it out. If we had thrown it out in a 18____ place, he would have brought it home again, as a small token(象征)of his strength in such matters. 19____, he had been taught to carry heavy wooden objects about and he was 20_____ of his skill.
