It was already midnight. At one end of the big house, on a sort of a raised platform, Major was already sitting in comfort on his bed of straw. He was twelve years old and had __1__F__ grown rather fat, but he was still a majestic-looking (威武的) pig, with a wise and kind appearance. Before long the other animals began to arrive and make themselves __2_B__ after their different fashions. First came the three dogs, Bluebell, Jessie, and Pincher, and then the pigs, who settled down in the straw immediately in front of the platform. The hens rested themselves beside the window.

Clover was a motherly horse ___4____A_ middle life, who had never quite got her figure back after her fourth baby. Boxer was an enormous beast, nearly eighteen hands high, and as strong as any two ordinary horses ___5____G__ together. A white stripe down his nose gave him a somewhat stupid appearance, and in fact he was not of first-rate ___6___D__, but he was ___7__J__ respected for his steadiness of character and tremendous powers of work.

Alone among the animals on the farm he never laughed. If asked why, he would say that he saw nothing to laugh at.
