根据短文内容和所给的首字母，写出短文中所缺的单词，使短文完整，合乎情景

I really like r1. and writing short stories. These stories are usually about 6 to 20 pages long which focus on an interesting person, a problem which the person had, and what happened when the person tried to solve the problem. All societies seem to have an oral story-telling tradition in which people met t2. to tell each other short stories, and in which parents told their children stories at bedtime. This was certainly true in England, in India. in Kenya, in Mexico and in Japan. Was it true in China, too? In many countries; oral story telling is still important, but in most countries now~ stories are written down and p3. in books. My favorite collection of short stories is a book called The Story Giant by Brian Patten in which a giant knows all the stories in the world e4. one. If he doesn't find the last story he'll die.　 In the book he gets four children from different parts of the world to tell him stories in the hope that

he will find the last story so he can stay a5. and pass the world's stories on forever. Do you think he finds the last story?

I also like reading novels. One of my favourite novels is called Life of Pi. It is written by a Canadian called Yann Martel,and is about an Indian boy who spends a long time at sea after a shipwreck (海滩)　 a 6. with nobody but a tiger. What about you? Do you have a favourite novel?

Not many people read plays these days, but many people still enjoy watching them at the theatre or on television. Perhaps the l 7. popular form of literature(文学)　 is poetry.　 This is because many poems are very d8.to understand, and often seem to be written and read by very clever people. I wish I c 9. write poems which e 10. can understand．
