"You are my 4 . Say good-bye to this world." 5 his sick father, the boy knew he couldn"t die. He quickly calmed down and put a mushroom into his mouth, and chewed and swallowed. Then he said, " 6 you can kill and eat me, but I wish you to know that these mushrooms are deadly poisonous (有毒的). You can eat me, but you will die too. My family will look for me and find you. They will 7 your stomach and eat your meat. Your fine skin will carpet the floor of a rich man"s house and your tiger bones will get a good 8 in the medicine shops.

Still, Kazazic felt a little panic slide into her excitement. In spite of her fear, she felt strong wearing her new leg. In second grade in Bosnia, Kazazic lost her cousin, Jasmina. Kazazic promised she would honor Jasmina by swimming with a dolphin, an animal that both girls loved. "Jasmina never got the chance to do it," says Kazazic,"so I decided that someday I"d do it for her." However, in 1993, during the Bosnian civil war, Kazazic was badly injured. Her left leg was cut just below the knee and she received her first artificial (人工的) leg in the US. Because there was so little bone left, and with her right leg also damaged, walking was rather painful, but she managed to graduate from college. She was able to play golf or tennis. Then one day a young dolphin, Winter, who had lost her tail, caught Kazazic"s eye. Trainers were fitting Winter with a high-tech tail. When they were done, Winter dashed off through the water. Kazazic was excited. If she can do this, there"s no way I can"t, she thought. Within ten days, she had a new leg with the help of the inventor. Eight months later, Kazazic was ready to keep the promise. "After being in a war, this should be a piece of cake," Kazazic said as she lowered herself into the tank. Then and there the two went on an hour-long swim around the pool. When Kazazic climbed out, she quietly said, "I feel like I owed (欠) somebody something, and now I"ve paid my debt." Out in the parking lot, she got into her car and cried till she lost her voice. | 1. Which of the following might serve as the best title of the passage? | [ ] | A. Kazazic"s Promise. B.
