1. Choose the best answer: (12分)

    I used to hunt and killed quite a few deer. There was great excitement in waiting and shooting.

    One cold morning in winter, I went alone to a hillside. I carried my gun, some hot coffee, and three thick sandwiches.

     I found a natural hiding place, cleared the snow and settled down. It was very cold, but I had warm clothing on. I sat there waiting for about an hour. Nothing showed. I ate two sandwiches and drank a little coffee. The place was really quiet.

    Suddenly, a big beautiful buck（雄鹿）appeared less than 20 feet away from me. There was no cover near him. Surely I couldn't miss. The fact that I couldn't miss made me wait for him to realize I was there, I waited for him to run with a start.

    To my surprise, he came towards me! He was curious (妤奇的), I suppose, or maybe he was stupid. He must have known about men and their guns, for this was no youngster (幼小动物), but a fully grown-up one. However, this buck came closer, and I still waited. He kept putting one foot before the other. His big eyes never moved from my face. His wonderful head with antlers（鹿角） was clearly in sight.

    I was getting a bit nervous now. A big buck can do a lot of damage. Well, he walked right up to where I was sitting. Then he stopped and looked at me!

    What happened next is hard to believe. But it all seemed quite natural. I reached up (问前伸手) and scratched his head right between the antlers. And he liked it. That big, wild, beautiful buck bent（使…弯曲）his head. He actually asked for more.

     I scratched his head and body. His nose touched my shoulder. I fed him my last sandwich.

     Well, he finally went his way, down the hill. Shot him? Not me. You wouldn't have either, not after that. I just watched him go-a strong buck carrying a proud head.

     I picked up my gun, and started walking back. Suddenly, I heard the shots(开枪)-two of them. If you've hunted much, you know two shots, one after the other, which mean a kill. I had forgotten that there were other hunters around.

     You will understand why I gave up hunting from that day on.
