When we talk about a bad man, we like to call him a “wolf”. But is it really true that the wolf stands for devil and ugliness?
Have you read the book The Wolf Totem（狼图腾） by a famous writer Jiang Rong which tells the story of the relationship between wolves and human beings? Have you ever 36 the wolves’ world? If you had, you would 37 the wolves.
In the book, wolves are heroes on the large grassland. They know more about 38 than humans. They can attack lambs without disturbing their mothers. They also know how to 39 full use of the shape of land to 40 sheep. I believe that if wolves were humans, they would be 41 experts good at fighting.
The wolf is a kind of special creature that can deeply understand 42 . Each wolf serves its group with its heart and soul. A 43 wolf has little power, but a pack of wolves 44 nothing. All the wolves obey the rules. 45 they are defeated, they run away together. It is their teamwork 46 makes wolves powerful.
The wolves also have great self-respect and won’t 47 to anyone. The writer, who wrote the book The Wolf Totem， 48 stole a one-month-old baby wolf and raised it very carefully. To his 49 , he found the little wolf still wanted to go back with 50 wolves. He bit through the iron chain that limited him. The wolf was 51 and he never gave in, fighting 52 his death. The little wolf died as a glorious fighter.
I was shocked by this kind of 53 : wolves are one of the most respected creatures on earth. I want everyone to look at wolves in a 54 way. They are our teachers. They show us how to survive and 55 in this not simple and dangerous world. Please honor the wolves, please honor all these heroes of nature!_

Late one winter evening, Mr. Gray arrived at a small railway station. The journey by train that _46_had not been at all interesting, and Mr. Gray was cold and tired and _47_. He was looking forward to a _48_but satisfying meal by a brightly burning _49_, and then a hot bath and a comfortable bed. While he was walking to the taxi stand, he said to a local man who was also _50_there. “As this is my _51_visit to this part of the country and I was in too much of a hurry to find out about a hotel before I _52_home, I would very much like to know how many you have here.” The local man answered, “We have two.” “And which of the two would you _53_me to go to?” Mr. Gray asked then. The local man scratched his _54_ for a few moments and then answered, “Well, it’s like this: _55_one you go to, you’ll be sorry you didn’t go to the other.”

Armed with two over-packed suitcases, we arrived at the airport just in time for my flight. As I watched her unload my luggage, I could see the 36_ in her eyes. One last hug and a final good-bye, and I would be on my way to a new life 37 .“ You’d better go or you’ll miss your flight,” she said.
“I’ll 38 you,” I replied, and with those words I 39 . By the time I reached the customs, I was 40 . While boarding the plane I was still crying. I did not have the 41 to put my bag in the overhead locker, so I put it on the 42 seat next to mine.
Born just fifteen months apart, we not only looked alike, we were alike. We both had that same mix of 43 and fear of all things unknown to us. One sunny summer day I was playing outside when she came 44 to me and said, “ Want to come to the attic(阁楼)？” The answer was always “ 45 ”. We were frightened of the attic but also 46 by its smells and sounds. Together we would get through masses of dust and look through a lot of boxes _47 we found what we needed.
The plane shook 48 and my bag fell onto the floor. My aspirin, hairbrush and some other things were 49 on the floor. I _50 over to gather them up when I saw a(an) _51 little book in the middle of my belongings. It was a diary.
Immediately I 52 my sister’s handwriting. “Hi, Sis. What a day it has been today. You let me know that you are moving abroad…” Only _53 did I realize that my sister had been 54 a diary for the past month.
I read about my sister’s comings and goings during the flight. Even though a large ocean 55 us, at some point it felt like she was actually there.
