Whales live in the ocean, but they are not fish. They are warm-blooded mammals and must have air to breathe. The babies are born alive and drink milk from the mother's body. It took millions of years for the whale to develop as it is today.
Every spring groups of whales swim hundreds of kilometers to warm places to bear their young. Each group goes to the same place every year. The mothers take very good care of their babies. The fully grown whales are very gentle and playful with each other, and with humans. They “talk” to each other with a high noise that sounds beautiful. This“talking” can be heard for more than 300 kilometers in open waters.
Yet humans kill over a hundred whales a day. They kill them to make whale oils and a lot of other things. Killing them is a modern business with modern machines and even harpoons( 鱼叉炮) that explode( 爆炸) inside the whales. A whale dies very slowly and in great pain. Some ships kill every whale they can find, even the mothers and babies. Then there are no young whales to grow up or to bear more young.

Each child has his individual（个人的）pattern of social, as well as physical, development. Some of it depends on his home life and his relationships with the people who love him. Children in large families learn how to get along with others through normal brother- sister play and tussles （打斗）. An only child, on the other hand , may have to learn his lessons in social living through hard experiences on the playground or in the classroom. Twins who always have one another to lean on may be slow in responding to others because they do not need anyone else.
A child who is constantly scolded and made to feel he does everything wrong may have a difficult time developing socially. He may be so afraid of displeasing the adults around him that he keeps to himself （where he can’t get into trouble）or he may take the opposite route and go out of his way to create trouble. Like the deserted child, he too may return to infantile （幼稚的）pleasures, developing habits that will satisfy him, but create barriers（障碍）toward social contact.

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 41 the wolves' world? If you had, you would 42 the wolves. In the book, wolves are heroes on the large grassland. They know more about 43 than humans. They can attack lambs without disturbing their mothers. They also know how to 44 full use of the shape of land to 45 sheep. I believe that if wolves were humans, they would be 46 experts good at fighting.
The wolf is a kind of special creature that can deeply understand 47 .Each wolf serves its group with its heart and soul. A 48 wolf has little power, but a pack of wolves 49 nothing. All the wolves obey the rules. 50 they are defeated, they run away together. It is their teamwork 51 makes wolves powerful.
The wolves also have great self respect and won't 52 to anyone. The writer, who wrote the book “The Wolf Totem”, 53 stole a one-month-old baby wolf and raised it very carefully. To his 54 , he found the little wolf still wanted to go back with 55 wolves. He bit through the iron chain that limited him. The wolf was 56 and he never gave in, fighting 57 his death. The little wolf died as a glorious fighter.
I was shocked by this kind of 58 wolves are one of the most respected creatures on the earth. I want everyone to look at wolves in a 59 way. They are our teachers. They show us how to survive and 60 in this not simple but dangerous world. Please honor the wolves, please honor all these heroes of nature!
