Question

I once heard the story of a grown bear that lived in a cage and traveled with a circus ever since he was young．The bear spent every day of his life   1back and forth in his cage while lots of   2looked on．When the keepers weren’t   3, some visitors would throw pieces of food   4broken glass into the cage．When the great bear would eat what he thought was a（n）   5meal, the broken glass   6cut his throat and stomach．

One day an animal lover visited the circus and saw the   7, things that the people were doing．He felt so   8for the animal that he decided to buy the bear．The circus   9to sell the bear to him and they set up a   10to send it．

When the day arrived for the bear to be   11, everyone was waiting to see what would happen．To everyone’s   12, when the door of the cage was opened for the first time, the bear      13paced back and forth as usual．The bear didn’t seem to   14that the cage door was open．Finally the keepers got the bear out of the cage and rolled it   15．What they saw next shocked everyone．The bear   16at his new home．Then to everyone’s surprise and   17, the bear began his pacing again．Back and forth he would go as if he was in a（n）   18cage．In the end, he had to be put to sleep．
