第十五课时　八年级下册 Units 8～10 一、阅读理解 A Last summer holiday, Aunt Emily took us to a safari park(野生动物园), not far from Liverpool. I was very happy to go as I had never been to a safari park before. It's a very interesting park, full of wild animals running freely. When we got there, we bought our tickets and drove into the park. We were very excited at the thought of going to see the lions. But to get to the lion's place we had to go through the monkeys' land first. And that was an experience because they climbed all over the car, ate apples and bananas, and threw all kinds of things at us. They seemed very unfriendly. Anyway, we went on our way to the lions' place where we had to lock ourselves in the car as we knew lions could be dangerous. A lion came up very close to us. The next thing we knew, it was on the bonnet(车盖). It looked calm but we felt terrified. Aunt Emily, who isn't very brave, started to call for help. The kids started crying. Only my brother, George, stayed cool. I sounded the horn(喇叭) but nobody heard us. In the end a guard arrived in his car, and the lion just got off our car and started smelling the guard's hand as if nothing was the matter. 1．Which animal did the writer want to see the most?
