     Farley worked for the Canadian government. One day，he was1 to learn more about wolves. Do wolves kill lots of caribou (北美驯鹿)? Do they kill people?

     They gave him lots of food and clothes and guns. Then they put him on a plane and took him to 2 . They put him down and went away. There were no houses or people in this place. But there were lots of animals and lots of wolves.

People tell terrible stories about wolves. They say wolves like to kill and eat people. Farley remembered these stories，and he was 3. He had his gun with him 4 .

     Then one day， he saw a group of wolves. There was a mother wolf with four baby wolves. A father wolf and another young wolf lived with them.

     Farley watched these wolves every day. The mother was a very 5 mother. She gave milk to her babies. She gave them lessons about life. They learned how to 6 food. The father wolf got food for the mother. The young    wolf 7 the children. They were a nice， happy family — wolf family! Farley did not need his8anymore. In a short time，he got on well with the family. Farley watched them for five months. He learned that many stories about the wolves were 9. Wolves do not eat people， and they do not eat many large animals. And he also learned bad things about men. It was men who killed many caribou and wolves.

     Later， Farley wrote a book about wolves. He wanted people to10 them and not to kill them.

 As a young man, Alan was a skilled artist and known for his paintings. He had a wife and two sons. But one night, his older son died of a sudden illness. To make matters worse, his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his 6- year- old son. The pain was more than Alan could stand, and he turned to alcohol (酒). Finally, Alan became an alcoholic(酒鬼).

 Day by day, Alan began to lose everything he had— his home, his job, his art, everything. In the end, Alan died alone in a hotel.

 When I heard of Alan's death,I thought," What a complete failure!"

 As time went by, Alan's son Ernie grew up. He is one of the kindest and most caring men I have ever known. I watched Ernie with his children and saw the free flow of love between them. I knew that kindness and care had to come from somewhere.

I hadn't heard Ernie talk much about his father. It is so hard to excuse an alcoholic. One   day I asked him,"I'm really puzzled by something,"I said."I know your father was basically the only one to raise you. What on earth did he do to make you become such a good person?"

 Ernie sat quietly for a while. Then he said," From my earliest memories as a child until I left home at 18, Alan came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said,‘I love you, son.'"

 Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to judge Alan as a failure. He had not left any material possessions(物质财富) behind. But he had been a kind and loving father, and he left behind one of the finest men I have ever known.

My best friend is Lisa. She is also my cousin.

 We often hang out together. On Saturdays, l always go to the library with her. We read books and do our homework there. She studies {#blank#}1{#/blank#} than me so she often helps me with my homework. Lisa often helps to bring out the best in me {#blank#}2{#/blank#} I am becoming better and better. And I. am better {#blank#}3{#/blank#} sports. so I often teach her to play tennis after finishing homework. And we go to the movies once a month. As for me, hanging out with friends is not only at lot of fun because her jokes can make me laugh {#blank#}4{#/blank#} but also helps me keep friendship. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} time together helps us stay close.

 For example, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} to do anything interesting with her last summer vacation. So we went to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} friend's farm in the countryside. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} was great. We fed some{#blank#}9{#/blank#} and saw some baby pigs. They were so cute. She taught me how to take care of them. Still no one seemed to be bored as we get enough health y food and took quite a few photos there.

 As the saying goes, a true friend {#blank#}10{#/blank#} for your hand and touches your heart. I know she cares about me and I wish we are good friends forever.
