Their answers were different, from 20g to 450g. "It does not matter on the real 3. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a 4, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, I will have to call a doctor. It is the exact same weight, but the 5 I hold it, the heavier it becomes.

I used to hunt and have killed quite a few deer. There was great 1 in waiting and shooting.
One cold morning in winter, I went alone to a hillside. I carried my gun and three thick sandwiches. I found a natural hiding place. It was pretty cold, but I had 2 clothing on. I sat there waiting for one hour. Nothing showed. The place was really 3.
Suddenly, a beautiful buck(雄鹿) appeared. Surely I couldn't 4 it. I must wait for him to realize I was there. I waited for him to 5 with a start (惊吓).
To my surprise, he came towards me! He was curious(好奇), I suppose. He must have known about men and their 6which would kill him. But he walked right up where I was sitting. Then he stopped and looked at me! I was getting a bit 7 now. A big buck can do a lot of damage.
What happened next was hard to believe. But it all seemed quite natural. I reached up and scratched(抚摸) his head. And he 8 it. That big, wild, beautiful buck bent(弯下) his head.
I scratched his body and fed him my last sandwich. Then he went his way, down the hill. I just watched him go--a strong buck carrying a proud head.
I picked up my gun and started walking back. 9, I heard the shots—two of them. If you've hunted enough you know two shots mean a(n) 10. I had forgotten that there were other hunters around.
I decided to give up hunting from that day on.

Every time we go into a museum, we are often told, "Don't touch that!" The Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia is1the opposite. Here we are encouraged to2everything.
My first visit to the museum was one year ago. I was3to visit the museum as soon as Mum told me its name.4told me that I could climb and jump, and touch everything in the museum.
This place is more like a5than a museum. It gives kids the chance to learn6play. I loved this place a lot and had to be pulled away by the arm when we were ready to7.
Each exhibit is a hands-on(亲自实践的) experience. I8enjoyed the very large water table and grocery store(食品杂货店). I had so much fun that 1 didn't even9I was learning.
The only problem is that this place gets crowded very quickly on weekends,10you need to get 'there early if you don't want to be immersed in(浸没于) the sea of people.
