高一英语完形填空练习：两个狼的故事

There was once a wise old man who lived in a small village. The villagers would often come to him for advice on various '1' matters. One day, a young boy came to the wise man with a problem.

'2' sir,' said the boy, 'I have a problem. I feel like there are two wolves inside me, fighting each other. One is good and kind, the other is evil and '3'. I don't know which one will win.'

The wise man smiled and said, '4' my child, there are two wolves inside each of us. One is good and represents love, kindness and compassion. The other is evil and represents anger, hatred and '5'. They are both fighting for control inside us.'

The boy looked at the wise man with '6'. 'But which one will win?' he asked.

The wise man replied, 'The one you feed.'

The boy was puzzled. '7' do you mean?' he asked.

'The wolf you feed is the one that will grow stronger,' the wise man explained. 'If you feed the good wolf, it will grow stronger and eventually defeat the evil wolf. But if you feed the evil wolf, it will grow stronger and defeat the good wolf.'

The boy understood and thanked the wise man for his '8'. He left feeling '9' and determined to feed the good wolf inside him.

That night, he went home and thought about the wise man's words. He realized that he had been feeding the evil wolf '10' by being angry with his parents, shouting at his siblings and being rude to his friends. He decided to stop doing all these things and to start being kind, loving and '11' to others.

Over time, the boy noticed that the good wolf inside him was growing stronger. He felt more '12' and happy. He was no longer angry or unhappy all the time. He realized that he had the power to '13' his own destiny by choosing which wolf to feed.

The wise man's words had changed his '14' and he was grateful for the advice he had received. From that day on, he made a '15' to feed the good wolf and to become a better person.

The boy grew up to be a wise and kind man, just like the old man who had given him advice. He '16' the lesson he had learned and passed it on to others, helping them to become better people too.

The moral of the story is that we all have two wolves inside of us, and we have the power to choose which one to feed. If we choose to feed the good wolf, we will live a happy and '17' life. But if we choose to feed the evil wolf, we will live a life of '18' and unhappiness. It's up to us to choose which wolf we want to feed.
