One cold morning in winter, I went alone to a hillside to do some hunting. I sat there waiting for about an hour. Suddenly, a big beautiful deer appeared less than 20 feet away from me. There was no cover near him. Surely I could shoot him.
To my surprise, he came toward me! He was curious, I supposed, or maybe he was stupid. For this was not a youngster, but a fully grown-up one. He must have known about men and their guns. But this deer came closer, and I still waited. His big eyes never moved away from my face. His wonderful head with a set of antlers(鹿角) was clearly in sight.
I was getting a bit nervous as he walked closer. A big deer can do a lot of damage. Well, he walked right up to where I was sitting. Then he stopped and looked at me.
What happened next was hard to believe. But it all seemed quite natural. I held out my hands and scratched his head right between the antlers. And he liked it. The big, wild, beautiful deer bent his head.
I scratched and touched his head and body. His nose touched my shoulder. I fed him with my last sandwich.
Well, he finally went his way, down the hill. Shoot him? Not me. You wouldn't, either. Not after that. I just watched him go, a strong deer carrying a proud head.
I picked up my gun, and started walking back. Suddenly, I heard two shots, one after another. If you have hunted much, you will know what two shots mean. They mean a kill. I had forgotten that there were other hunters around.
You will now understand why I gave up hunting from that day on.
About a hundred yards along the path we came to a deep valley, on the far side of which the path led into some very thick bushes. Rather than push through these, I decided that if we walked along the bottom of this valley we could go up again and rejoin the path on the far side of the bushes.
As I climbed down into the valley a bird flew off a rock on which I had put my hand. On looking at the spot from which the bird had risen I saw two eggs. They were a kind that I did not have in my collection. So I placed them carefully in my bag, wrapping them in dry grass.
As we went further down the valley, the sides became steeper(陡峭)and not far from where I had entered it came to a drop of about twelve to fourteen feet. The water that rushed down all these small valleys in the rainy season had worn the rock as glass. As it was too deep to climb down, I handed my gun to one of the men and slid down it. My feet had hardly touched the sandy bottom when two men jumped down, one on each side of me. They quickly gave me the gun and asked me if I had heard the tiger. In fact, I had heard nothing, possibly because of the noise I made sliding down the rock. The men said they had heard a tiger growling(吼)somewhere nearby, but they did not know from which direction the noise had come.
During my travels through the mountains of Greece I was only ever scared once. It was dusk and as I walked alone I came across six large wolves that were feeding on the body of a dead animal. I had heard many stories about wolves as a child and it was this animal that I feared more than any other. The wolves before me were huge, at least 6 feet long and covered with thick grey fur.
As I approached, the wolves left the blood-covered snow that surrounded the body and started walking towards me, one after another. They stopped about 20 meters from me and stared. The lead wolf raised his head into the air and took in a deep breath, as if he was smelling my presence. The animals looked both beautiful and terrifying, but I knew I could not show them my fear. As I drew nearer, the lead wolf raised its head once more but this time let out a loud howl(长嚎). The awful cry rang out across the silent valley. I had never heard a more frightening sound. I was almost certain it signaled death.
Every moment I expected to see the pack dash(猛冲) at me. I knew my only hope was to pretend I had no fear. I walked past the line of wolves, like a general moving among his soldiers. They howled out again. But when they saw that their war-cry did not cause me to change my direction or make me run they feared to come after me, and they let me pass and returned to the dead animal.
Had I turned back or tried to run away when they marched out to meet me I was certain the whole pack would have attacked me in a moment. But my show of false courage intimidated(威胁) them and kept them back.
a. The wolves walked towards the man.
b. The man thought he was about to die.
c. The wolves returned to the dead animal.
d. The man had heard stories about wolves.
e. The man walked past the wolves.
f. The lead wolf took a deep breath.

Healthy Sleep Tips
Below is some advice on how to sleep better.
Maintain a regular bed and wake time schedule. Go to bed at the same time every night. Try not to break this routine on weekends when it may be tempting to stay up late. As with your bedtime, try to maintain your regular wake time even on weekends.
When it's time to sleep, make sure that your environment is dark. Even dim lights—especially those from TV or computer screens—can confuse the body clock. Heavy curtains or shades can help block light from windows, or you can try an eye mask to cover your eyes. The temperature of your bedroom also affects sleep. A bedroom that is too hot or too cold can interfere with sleep quality.
Turn off your TV. Many people use the television to fall asleep or relax at the end of the day. However, television actually stimulates the mind, rather than relaxes it.
Exercise helps promote restful sleep if it is done several hours before you go to bed. Exercise can help you fall asleep faster and sleep more soundly—as long as it's done at the right time. Try to finish exercising at least three hours before bed or work out earlier in the day.
Consult your doctor. Use a sleep diary and talk to your doctor. Note what type of sleep problem is affecting your sleep or if you are sleepy when you wish to be awake and alert. Try these tips and record your sleep and sleep related activities in a sleep diary.
A. Exercise at the right time.
B. Change your sleeping position.
C. Keep your room dark and cool.
D. Choose a time when you normally feel tired.
E. You may even have a television in your bedroom.
F. If problems continue, discuss the sleep diary with your doctor.
G. Sleeping well is vital for physical, mental and emotional health.

The summer holiday is coming. My classmates and I are talking about how to do during the holiday. We can chose between staying at home and take a trip. If we stay at home, it is comfortable but there is no need to spend money. But in that case, we will learn little about world. If we go on a trip abroad, we can broaden your view and gain knowledges we cannot get from books. Some classmates suggest we can go to places of interest nearby. I thought that it is a good idea. It does not cost many, yet we can still learn a lot.
