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

“In writing about the dark aspects of society there is a（n） 47 that emotions and anger allow politics to limit literature.”

He also mentioned the 49 surrounding his selection as Nobel winner, saying he was showered with many flowers. 50 he was a target for “stone throwers”.
“At first I thought I was the 51 of the controversies, but over time I’ve come to realize that the real target was a person who had 52 to do with me.”

Yesterday a girl named Marvies told me that 34 was once taken away by aliens(外星人) from outer space. They did some research on her. Marvies said that the whole experience was really terrible, 35 luckily they returned her home. If Justin has been taken away by aliens too, I hope they will 36 him soon.
My parents have been worrying about Justin. Soon after he was found missing, they called 37 . However, the police are not making 38 in the case (案子). They are very puzzled, saying Justin might have been murdered. Dad is very 39 with them. He doesn’t think they are doing their job well. Mum is so worried that she 40 sleep well. I hope Justin will come home soon and tell us what happened to him. I want all of us to be together again.

When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very 31 .Some stories are told 32 they were true. Real people who live in a 33 world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not 34 . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be 35 for us.
But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only 36 . How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter ,we 37 seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than 38 . Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of 39 . When we read or write something ,we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our 40--which is real—and our imagination—which is real in a different way --- to make the words come to life in our minds.
Both realism and fantasy(幻想) 41 the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read 42 realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we 43 that we are real and they are 44 . It sounds 45 ,but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and 46 about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by 47 that what we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too.
Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our 48 when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose 49 in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel 50 we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.

The Florida sun baked my shoulders as I worked along the I-595 freeway near Fort Lauderdale, picking up rubbish. I paused to 36 the sweat off my forehead and look up at the cloudless blue sky.“ 37 can’t it rain?” I thought. That would 38 things down.
I thought about my 39 , who were probably sitting in an air-conditioned 40 right now. I’d had some problems in school, 41 my parents decided to let me 42 full-time with my dad, We both worked for my uncle, who had taken 43 of a maintenance（道路养护）company. It was up to us to keep the roads 44 of rubbish. The job was 45 and dirty, especially on hot days 46 this. I wondered why I ever agreed to do it.
We continued our 47 route along the I-595, 48 for the overpass bridge. Then I noticed an area where some 49 were broken on the ground. It wasn’t like that before.
“Dad! Pull over! I want to 50 something out.”
I jumped off the truck and rushed to the bridge. Something was telling me to 51 …there wasn’t much time. 52 I saw a Toyota that 53 upside down in the tree. Maybe it was a stolen car that somebody 54 there, I thought. Then, just at that 55 , I noticed something moving. It was a bloody leg poking out of the driver’s side window!
