be.outside the bible (圣經(jīng))，these six words are the most famous in all the _1_ of the world.they were _2_ by hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in shakespeares because hamlet was speaking not only for himself but also for every_3_ man and woman.to be or not to be, to live or not to live, to live _4_ and abundantly and eagerly, or to live dully and meanly and scarcely.a philosopher once wanted to know _5_ he was alive or not, which is a good question for everyone to put to himself _6_.he answered it by saying, “i think, _7_ i am.” but the best _8_ of existence ever seen was given by another philosopher who said，“ to be is to be in _9_.”if this is true，then the more relations a living thing has, the more it is alive.to live abundantly means simply

have no idea of the hard work and worry that i go to the collecting of those fascinating birds and animals that they pay to see in the zoo.one of the questions that is always asked of me is how i became an animal collector in the first _1_.the answer is that i have always been interested in animals and zoos.according to my parents，the first word i was able to say with any _2_ was not the conventional “mamma” or “daddy”，but the word “zoo”，which i would _3_ over and over again with a shrill _4_ until someone，in order to _5_ me up，would take me to the zoo.when i grew a little older，we lived in greece and i had a great _6_ of pets，ranging from owls to seahorses，and i spent all my spare time _7_ the countryside in search of fresh specimens to _8_ to my collection of pets._9_ on i went for a year to the city zoo，as a student _10_，to get experience of the large animals，such as lions，bears，bison and ostriches，which were not easy to keep at home.when i left，i _11_ had enough money of my own to be able to _12_ my first trip and i have been going _13_ ever since then.though a collectors job is not an easy one and is full of _14_，it is certainly a job which will appeal to all those who love animals and _15_.1a.regionbfieldcplace dcase2a.clarity bemotioncsentiment daffection3a.recite brecognizecread drepeat4a.volume bnoisecvoice dpitch5a.close bshutcstop dcomfort6a.many

someone else. it is like the little saying, “l(fā)oving kindness is twice blessed; it blesses him who gives, and him who 17 .”cheering up people on their birthdays isnt the only thing we can do to make their day. life constantly presents us with 18 to take an extra step or do a kind deed that will make a 19 to someone. and the 20 thing is that as we do, it changes things for the better for us
