This was the moming when Jeremy,14-year-old,was to begin his duck shooting. He had
1 the whole
idea ever since his father had bought him
2 and had promised him a
3 to his island. But he loved
his father and wanted to
4 him.
They came to the beach. To
5 the sense of fear,he took a
6 0f his father. Then he put the
camera aside and picked up the gun. His father said happily,"I've been
7 a long time for this day. I'll
let you

leaned(屈身) forward,eyes narrowed. "There is a small flight(飞翔的一群) now. Keep your head down;I'll give you the
9 ."
Jeremy's heart was beating
10 " No,don't let me come,please ! " But they came,closer,closer…" Now,take him!"cried his father. Jeremy felt his body

12 his father taught him. In the same distance(时刻 ) ,the ducks saw the gunners and flared (突然飞去) wildly.
For a second he hung there balanced

was handing the camera to him,and said softly," Quick ! "Jeremy stood up and pressed his shutter release(快门) button in a flash. "I got him ! " His face was bright.

22 pride and love. "I'll always
love shooting. But that doesn't mean you
23 . Sometimes it takes as much
24 not to do a thing
as to do it," he paused."I think you could teach me how to operate that
