Russ Fee was asleep inside his tent last summer when a series of screams woke him up. Throwing on his shoes, he ran out to check. Fee and his wife were traveling through Canada’s Banff National Park to enjoy its stunning beauty and awesome wildlife. It was the latter he now encountered. Although it was dark, Fee could make out a neighboring tent in a mess. Backing out was a wolf,dragging something in his teeth.That thing was a man.
Moments earlier, Elisa and Matt Rispoli, from New Jersey, were asleep with their two young children when the wolf tore into their tent.”It was like something out of a horror movie,”Elisa posted on Facebook.For three minutes,”Matt threw his body in front of me and the boys and fought the wolf.”At one point,Matt got the upper hand, pinning the wolf to the ground. But the wolf clamped its jaw onto Matt’ s arm, set its powerful legs, and began tugging Matt outside “while I was pulling on his legs trying to get him back,” Elisa wrote.

Amid all the poverty and desperation in Los Angeles’s Skid Row (贫民区), one couple is determined to use their own experience with loss to foster (培养) a sense of hope.
In 2012, Mary Davis and her husband, Ari Kadin were _______ their first child when Davis miscarried (流产).They were extremely _______. But the couple, who were volunteering with adults in a Skid Row homeless shelter, refused to let their heartbreak _______ them.
“In 2013, our child would have been one year old,” says Davis.” And we kept seeing these kids at the shelter, and I said to my husband, ‘We couldn’t _______ a birthday party for our child, so let’s do it for these kids.’”
Since then, the couple have held a party each and every month. They _______attract 200 kids and their parents. There are small presents for the kids celebrating their birthdays, but Davis makes sure there are more than enough to _______.
“I remember a mom came with her two kids,” Davis says.” she’s crying. ‘You have no idea what we’ve been through for the last 24 hours,’ she told me. ‘Yesterday was her birthday. I had _______ to give her. We _______ so much suffering. I really didn’t expect a birthday party for my child.’ I had to walk away and wipe away some tears.”
Doing her best to _______these kids’ lives is both ________ and bittersweet, Davis says.” We’re on this rooftop. It’s this beautiful ________. The sky is gorgeous. You’re above everything.

Globalization
Great advances in technology and communications have been made during the past 20 years.In consequence,people around the world have become more connected.The growing link between nations and people of the world is called globalization.1.
Perhaps the biggest change in this process is the effect of globalization on commerce,that is, free trade.Free trade removes certain limits to global commerce to make it easier for nations to exchange goods.A further aim of this process is to aid poor nations and thus reduce poverty. Globalization has indeed increased trade worldwide.2.
The debate about recent trends in global commerce is complex.Those who support free trade in the global market point out that competition lowers prices. 3. For example,the imported milk from the US was cheaper than local milk in Jamaica,so more poor people could drink milk and improve their nutrition.Meanwhile,the cheaper milk put local dairy farmers out of business.
4.When a poor nation begins trading on the global level,it gains certain benefits. Its economy grows rapidly.Multinational companies set up factories,which provide jobs for people.Supporters claim that these factors reduce poverty and lessen the gap between the richest and poorest nations.
5.Although they agree that the global market can offer growth and jobs to poor nations,they doubt whether it reduces poverty.In fact,they cite studies that show that poverty has increased as a result of the global market.
Regardless of which side they are on,most experts believe that globalization has great potential to aid the poor.
A.Both sides need to find a way to make it work.
B.However,experts disagree about its effects on the poor.
C.In this sense,globalization caused as much harm as good..
D.Critics of unrestricted free trade question these conclusions.
E.It is a trend that has changed ways of life throughout the world.
F.In contrast,others argue that free trade often harms poor nations.
G.Those support free trade in the global market for a number of reasons.
There is a country-I read about it once-where the local custom is that if you go to a house and praise some small possession,the owners feel obliged to offer it to you as a gift.I don’t remember the name of the country;the only other place I know of with such a custom is my mother’s apartment.
Knowing Mama,I have always been careful with my compliments,but that doesn’t stop her. Mama senses admiration far more subtle(敏感的)than what’s spoken.If she catches me staring at anything small enough to put in a grocery sack,she hands it to me as I leave.It would do no good to protest.
Sometimes,while visiting Mama,I try not to say anything complimentary.
I have been worrying for weeks now about what to give my mother for Mother’s Day.For most people,this is a modest problem,solved by the purchase of a bathrobe or a box of candy. For me,however,Mother’s Day represents an annual challenge to do the impossible-find a gift that will make neither Mama nor me feel terrible.Expensive gifts-Mama defines as costing over$1.98-are out,because they make Mama feel terrible.There is always the danger that a gift given to Mama will bounce swiftly back to the giver.
Papa,a sensible man,long ago stopped trying to shop for Mama.Instead,on Mother’s Day, her birthday,and other appropriate occasions,he composes a short epic poem in which he tells of their meeting,courtship(求婚)，and subsequent(随后的)marriage.After nearly 30 years of poems,Papa sometimes worries that the edge of his poetic inspiration has dulled,but Mama doesn’t complain.She comes into the room while he is struggling over a gift poem and says,”It doesn’t have to rhyme as long as it’s from the heart.”
This year,finally,I think I,too,have found a painless gift for Mama.I am going to give her a magazine article,unrhymed but from the heart,in which I wish her”Happy Mother’s Day”and tell her there’s nothing Papa or I could ever buy,find,or make her that would be half good enough anyway.
