Let me tell you a story. A good friend of小题1: lives with six hundred animals on an island. Ever since he left school, he has traveled all over the world 小题2: for animals for his own zoo. He writes 小题3: about his travels, and about his wonderful animals. The money from his books helps him to 小题4: for all the animal food. My friend told me that there is not enough water on the island, 小题5: there is a lot all around it. When he was looking for water last week, he 小题6: oil. He needs 小题7: for his travels and for his zoo, and a little oil would buy enough water for a long time. But he knows that 小题8: he tells anybody else about it, it will be the end of his zoo and his life’s work.

Do you think so?
