问题     The man walked slowly (31) the deserted beach, his head down and his eyes searching the wet sands. Overhead birds (32) in wide circles, screaming continuously. A stiff breeze from the sea made the man (33) and draw his coat closer round his body.
    It was two days (34) he had eaten and his stomach had settled into a dull ache. It was necessary (35) find something soon.
    (36) he saw a strangely-shaped piece of metal half buried in the (37). He stopped, picked it (38) and rubbed it roughly on his coat. To his surprise a bright, yellowish metal began to appear. He rubbed harder and could (39) out what looked like a head. He pulled a dirty handkerchief (40) his pocket and, dipping it in the sea, washed the thing as best as he (41). At last he could really see (42) a beautifully made model of (43) animal with one long pointed horn in the (44) of its forehead. A unicorn! The fabulous beast of myth and legend.
    He began to feel excited. (45) it gold? Valuable treasure washed up from the sea (46) perhaps? This was what he had (47) waiting for; a stroke of luck that would change his whole life.
    He wrapped the unicorn in his coat and hurried to the little antique shop near the beach. The man behind the counter looked at the shiny animal, smiled politely and (48) ￡5. For as he explained, the animal certainly wasn’t gold, not (49) brass, just some cheap yellow metal. But as the design was pretty, he was prepared to give ￡5.
    The hungry man handed over his treasure, took the money and sadly walked away.
    Perhaps tomorrow (50) be his lucky day.
