    Let me tell you a story .

    A good friend of ___1___ lives with six hundred animals on an island . Ever ___2___ he left school , he has travelled all over the world ___3___ for animals for his own zoo . He writes books about his travels , and about his wonderful ___4___ . The money for his books helps him to pay for all the animal food . My friend told me that when he was looking for water last week (There is not enough water on the island , though there is a lot all around it ) , he ___5___ oil （石油） . He ___6___ money for his travels and for his zoo , and a little oil would buy ___7___ water for a long time , but he knows that if he tells anybody else about it , it will be the ___8___ of his zoo and his life’s work .

    So I think he will not tell anybody ___9___ you and me about what he found — because oil and water can’t ___10___ together . Oil may bring greater trouble to his animals than not having enough water . Do you think so ?
