In my hometown there lived a sixty-year-old man. He was very   1  and never got ill. He liked   2  poisonous(有毒的) snakes since he was a boy. Nearly   3  week, he climbed up a hill nearby to catch snakes. He did not know how many times he had been bitten  4   snakes. He usually took some medicine with him while he was bitten by a snake. But once he had no medicine with him and did not take   5 , yet there was nothing wrong with him. From then on he had taken no medicine when he was hurt by snakes. People did not believe that   6 an interesting story took place.

One day last spring, when the old man   7  a walk in the street, a wild(野生的) dog   8  him and hurt him   9  the left leg with its mouth. The old man was too angry. He picked up a big stone and ran after the dog. But 10  the old man caught up with(追趕上) it, the dog lay down and died after running about   11  long. Then the old man took the dead dog   12  and cooked the meat food. A  13  came to visit him and had a piece of the meat, too. But soon after the neighbor ate the meat, he had a stomachache(胃痛) and had   14  in breathing. The neighbor  15 to a hospital nearby.

The doctor was a man with   16  experience and he knew the old man very well who liked eating poisonous snakes. After asking   17  questions and giving a general examination(常規(guī)檢查), the doctor let the old man’s neighbor   18  some medicine for snake poison. Happily for them, half an hour later, the patient(病人) got well.
