Two friends visited the zoo together. The zoo was very large and it was 1 to go everywhere. They had to decide where and which animal to visit as their time was 2 . So both of them agreed not to 3 after choosing a 4 at every fork(岔道口).
A road sign at the first fork 5 one way to the lion quarters and the other to the tiger hill. They decided on the 6 after a 7 discussion because lion were “the king of the grassland”. The second showed a division(路口) going separately to the pandas and peacock. They 8 pandas as it was the nation’s treasure and went the way. Thus they made choices all along the way and each choice meant 9 what they couldn’t help regretting. But they had to make it, and 10 , for it brooked(容忍)no delay. If they hesitated they would miss 11 . Only 12 decision could offer more chances for sightseeing and 13 possible regret.

If you 17 weighing the pros and cons and calculating gains and losses, you will most likely 18 empty-handedness. Don’t be sad about it. 19 you have got half of the desirable things in life ------ something that is 20 to e by.
