He was surprised to hear that.
Back home, Le Guang saw a bow (弓) on the wall of his room. “I see!” An idea came into his mind. He put the table at the same place and invited his friend to have a drink. Again, there was a shade (阴影) of the bow in the glass and Le Guang asked his friend to see. “That is what happened last time. It is the same snake,” said his friend. Le Guang laughed and took down the bow on the wall. “Could you see the snake in your glass now ” he asked. His friend was surprised to find that the snake was no longer in the wine.

64．句意：如果你已经了解了主要的故事，你将发现这种语言更容易掌握。根据“you will find the language much”可知，此处填形容词比较级修饰名词“the language”，easy的比较级easier“更容易的”符合句意。故填easier。
65．句意：然而，你不应该看母语字幕的电影或节目，否则你就无法集中精力理解英语。此处填副词修饰整个句子，前后句为转折关系，however“然而”符合句意。句首单词首字母大写，故填However。

【答案】
Let’s Help Animals
Animals are our friends and we should treat them kindly. However, many animals are in danger because of humans’ activities. People cut down trees and forests, so lots of animals have nowhere to live. Moreover, some hunters kill animals for their bones and fur to make money.
It’s our duty to protect animals and make the earth pleasant and peaceful. First, the government should make laws to protect animals. Second, we must stop killing and cutting down trees, instead we should plant more trees and set up nature reserves.
I’m sure if we can do all these things, there will be more and more animals.
