【正确答案】 1、正确答案：This lake was amazing and wonderful. Herons were plodding along the shores, Kingfishers and cuckoos were clattering to fly from the sunlight to the shade of trees, big turkey-like birds were fussing in dead branches, and hawks hovered above us. There was all the time in the world. And we could appreciate everything surrounding by leisurely. The boy in the bow of my canoe slapped stones at birds with a simple sling, a rubber thong and leather pad. He aimed brilliantly at moving targets, missed again and again: the birds were out of his range. He stuffed his sling back in his shirt. Then I looked away. The lake and river waters were as opaque as rainforest leaves: the water was veil, curtain and screen.
