Our three-year-old daughter Becky wanted a dog. But we were too busy to buy one . One day, Becky ran in, shouting, “Mom! Come to see my dog!” Her face was red with excitement.
I followed her to the bush and found a wolf! He was hurt. Seeing me, he stood up suddenly! I could see his teeth! God! My mouth felt dry. “Don’t be afraid. That’s Mom. She loves you, too.” Becky said. Then he became friendly. It was unbelievable!
I rushed to find my husband and told him about the wolf. We should have killed the wolf, but Becky loved him. Besides, he was kind to Becky. So we called the vet* finally.
Becky named the wolf Ralph and she carried food to him every day. Later, Ralph got well. They played together in the daytime. At night, Ralph would return to the mountains. Sometimes he disappeared but came back several days later.
On Becky’s first day of school, we could see Ralph’s sadness. After Becky left school, Ralph lay by the side o f the road and waited. When Becky returned, he got happy again. This continued throughout Becky’s school years.
Twelve years passed.
One day we heard that a wolf was killed. The other wolf was hurt and ran away. We were worried about Ralph. That night, Ralph returned with a wound*. Becky held his head kindly and comforted him. We hoped he could come through. However, he died.
Becky cried. I noticed something strange in the bush—two little yellow eyes! Ralph’s child! Before he died, Ralph brought his child to us! He knew he would be safe here, as he had been. Ralph, Ralph, I was moved.
“Don’t be afraid, little…little Ralphie. That’s Mom. She loves you, too.”

In the search for clean． renewable（可再生的） energy． wind power might be the perfect choice．People have been using the power of the wind for centuries．Since ancient times， wind power has been used to move ships， grind （碾谷）and so on，Around the end of the 19 thcentury， the invention of the wind turbine（涡轮机） made it possible to use Wind to produce electricity．
The first advantage of wind power is that it is a renewable resource{能源）． No mater how much wind we use to produce electricity， it will never run out． Secondly， wind power i a clean resource of enery， meaning it produces electricity without harmful emissions（排 放物）． Thirdly，although wind turbines can be very tall， each uses only a small piece of land． This means that the Land below can still be used．
Yet． wind energy has some disadvantages．One of the disadvantages is that the large spinning lodes（螺旋桨叶） of the wind turbines can be dangerous to birds． The second is that the turbines create noise pollution． The sound may make the people nearby uncomfortable． The third，wind can not provide a constantsupply（供应） of energy． Even the windiest places on Earth are peaceful． Without a strong wind， wind turbines are not able to produce electricity． That means wind power isn't suitable as the only resource of electricity．
Although wind energy has certain disadvantages， there is no reason why we should give up this renewable and clean resource of energy． Wind energy certainly is one of the bight hopes of our future．
