Question

Perhaps because I was city kid, my exposure to wildlife was limited. That     when I moved to the wooded hills of Oregon many years later. For the first time, I      animal communities.

One evening, a nursing raccoon (浣熊) with four kids     . She extended her tiny paw     asking for some food. I was attracted by their cuteness, so I    put out a serving of fresh cat food and water. She     the next evening. And the next.

All was well until the wildlife began behaving     . The raccoons started crying noisily. They could be     throughout the entire valley. A few days later, our homeowners association (业主协会) newsletter arrived in the mail. Among the    announcements of garage sales came a gentle reminder that feeding the wildlife was not a(n)     thing to do.

My face became red with     as I read the letter. I’d been found out! I was now identified as the     maker!

I went downstairs to discuss the matter with my husband. “I’m not     that the association has come up with a policy about it. They must have gotten     ,” he said.

“OK, I’m going to     feeding the animals,” I said.

Although I told myself that the wildlife around me would     without cat food, I felt guilty. Late that night, I walked slowly into the kitchen for a snack. Then a scene outside     my attention: There, on the hillside, was my neighbor. She was     two deer in the cold.

Another animal    , I thought. Even well-intentioned neighborhood associations can’t control our human impulse (冲动) to     with wild creatures and the natural world.
