6、In the Iturbi rain forest in America live many different tribes, one of   1   is Pygmy. Most of the Pygmies are not taller than four feet. They   2   only about eighty pounds each. In spite of their small size, they are the best   3   among all the jungle people. Even the great elephant can be   4   by them. They can shoot three or four arrows so   5   that often the last one leaves the bow   6   the first has hit its mark. If an arrow should miss its   7  , the impatient Pygmy may become very angry,   8   his arrows and step on them.

Since they do not plant any crops, Pygmies are   9   moving around. They seldom sleep in one camp for more than a few days. In their camps there is no   10   at all except some weapons such as spears, bows, and arrows. There are   11   cooking pots either. Food is eaten

  12   or smoked over a fire. So when the tribe moves to a new camp there is   13   to carry except their weapons and babies too small to walk.

Pygmies can move on the trees almost as skillfully as   14  . Often they travel great distances through the branches without   15   the ground.

One of the   16   facts about the small men and women is their appetite(胃口). A Pygmy can   17   sixty bananas at a single meal   18  quantities of meat. After eating, they will  19

on their hard earth bed and groan all night. But in the morning, they are ready to eat the same amount of food all over again.

    In spite of the   20   life, Pygmies are almost always good-natured and helpful. They seldom lie, steal or flight among themselves.
