     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.

    Mother Hare's two children were a month old. They lived with their parents in a deep hole (洞) . "Children," said Mother Hare, "It's time for you to live by yourself. Listen carefully to1Father says. Father Hare said, "When you leave, make yourself a deep hole like our hole. It will keep you safe2danger.

    The first little hare did not want to3He thought, "I will make a house near the forest." He found some twigs (树枝) and put them all together to make a house. It4him a day to finish the work. After that, he was 5 so he went to the meadow (草地) to eat. Someone else was in the meadow: a hungry fox. "Come here," said the fox. "Let's have dinner together. You will be dinner!" The hare ran fast into his house.6the fox took the house down and ate the hare for dinner.

    The second little hare said, I will make myself a house in the tree. He built a house in the tree from twigs. When he finished, he went to the meadow to7 food. The hungry fox waited in the meadow and tried to get8for dinner. The second hare wanted to run back to his house in the9.But unluckily, he was so afraid that he couldn't climb up the tree. Then the fox got him and ate him for dinner,10.

    It's good to have your ideas and do the things you like. But sometimes you need to take your parents words into heart.

   It may save you from the wrong way.

    I looked at my watch. It was ten to six. There was just ten minutes left before we 1 leave for home. Suddenly the earth began to shake. In no time the shake became very 2. "Earthquake(地震)!" someone shouted. I 3 the others to the door but we couldn't get out. I stayed under a desk, covering my head and neck with my arms. "Will someone save me 4the building falls down?

Is this the end for me?" I kept thinking about that. Several minutes 5 the shake stopped. Two of my workmates tried to open the door again, and they made it! We ran quickly to the street. It was such a(n) 6 that we couldn't believe our eyes- the street was full of debris(碎片) and broken wood. More and more people came out and many were injured(受伤的). Lots of them did 7 but look up into the sky in shock. We walked a long way home not saying much. Some were praying(祈祷) and some were crying. 8 in such a situation was difficult. Our phones didn't work because of the earthquake. So it was 9 to find out if our friends were okay. I had no way of letting my family in China 10 that I was still alive(活着). I just hoped that they wouldn't hear about the earthquake until tomorrow.

    My stutter(口吃) had always been much of a problem. I'd had so many specialists(专家) for my speech over the years. It hurt me until I met a new one in the hall.

    "Hello! I'm Mrs. Claussen. I hear you're from Texas!"

    "Ye-Ye-Ye-Yes m-m-m-m-m-m-aam I am..."My heart felt like it was pounding (剧烈跳动)through my chest and my hands were dripping wet.

    "Well," she said with a 1smile. "I've always like Texas."

    She turned out to be the best speech specialist I've ever had, not like 2who told me to clap my hands while speaking. She was different from others. She spent the first several weeks just talking to me — asking me all kinds of questions about myself, 3my feelings. And she listened. She then began to teach me about the speech. Not just about my speech, but about everybody's.

    I 4in my old school and was a pretty good tenor(男高音), but I learned that the new school's singing group was all 5. It was such bad news, for I thought that was the one thing I could really do well- and I could do it .However, Mrs. Claussen finally got me in the group. I felt like she really cared about me as a person, not just a 6student.

    During the next two years, my speech didn't get much better - except with her. When I was in college(大学), things got worse. I once even wanted to know 7I would ever be able to communicate! It was a very sad time, and I often felt alone. When I was feeling really sorry for myself, I remembered Mrs. Claussen had told me whether I could change my speech was all up to me. She had told me to fight for perfect speech, just 8speech. She was right about that. I finally improved my speech greatly.

    Many years have passed, but I think of her from time to time, wondering (想知道)if she had as much 9on her other students as she had on me. I like to think that she did. Her name was Mrs. Claussen... and she 10me. I'll never forget her.
