On the morning of May 29, Donna left unusually early for her 5:30 a.m. work at Noone’s Restaurant. She drove along a rural road, 1 as she often did to admire the old farmhouse she passed each day. But as she looked more 2 , she saw flames on one of the porch’s(门廊) posts. Donna pulled into the driveway and honked her horn(喇叭).
No response. With flames cutting her 3 from the front entrance, she ran to a side door, which was 4 . “Wake up,” she cried, running through the house. “ 5 !”
Just hours earlier Corinne Allin had put 18-month-old Benjamin, Devon, seven, and Amy, nine, to 6 . Now, awakened by the shouts, she stumbled(踉跄) down the steps into a 7 and saw the fire immediately. “My children , my husband ---they’re 8 upstairs,” Corinne said.
“I’ll get them,” Donna said. “Call 911.”
Donna 9 her way up the stairs through the 10 . While Hugh Allin went to see if he could put the fire 11 with the hose(水管), Devon dashed into Amy’s room. “Get up,” he cried. Amy lifted Benjamin from his bed. With windows exploding and smoke surrounding them, they made their way out of the 12 door.
In the disorder that followed, Donna slipped away to work. Passing the blackened house that evening, she stopped and left a note. Later that night the Allin family paid a 13 . Corinne explained that the fire began when she pressed out a 14 in a potted plant on the front porch. “But thanks to you,” she said with tears in her eyes, “we’re 15 .”

Tian'anmen. Square. Forbidden City. The Ming Tombs. Summer Palace. The Great Wall Peking Duck. Street of Bars.
I feel like I've been run over by a tractor. Beijing has too much history. It's completely overpowering. I think my friend is just as blinded by the pure brightness of China's long past. Oh… the glory of ancient China still exists. I think out of all the places I visited, I like the Great Wall the best. We climbed, and climbed and climbed. Parts of it were basically straight up. We were out of breath all the way up. But it was all worth it. One sight of the length and lasting power of this monument of humankind blew the wind out of me. From our point of vision, the wall was endless; travels as far as the eye could see.
On a totally unrelated topic, people here really like to use umbrellas and spit(not in that order). A great majority of the women here hold these little colored umbrellas--in fear of darkening the skin. I feel so out of place. I'm really brown. My mom calls me a black cat. One thing I can't get used to is people smoking in the restaurants and stores. Smoking is forbidden in most buildings in America unless there is a specified area . The food, however, is unbelievable. Salivating（流口水）became common. I heard the National Entrance Exam ended today or yesterday. I'm still shocked at the idea of having so many exams crowded into two days. Thankfully, we didn't have to go through with it. Instead, we had to deal with the SATs. I had the chance to talk with a few students of my age. I really admire these students. They get the spirit of“patience and perseverance”.

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 ? 36 ? the wolves' world? If you had, you would ? 37 ? the wolves.?

They also know how to ? 39 ? full use of the shape of land to ? 40 ? sheep. I believe that if wolves were humans, they would be ? 41 ? experts good at fighting.?
The wolf is a kind of special creature that can deeply understand ? 42 ?.Each wolf serves its group with its heart and soul. A ? 43 ? wolf has little power, but a pack of wolves ? 44 ? nothing. All the wolves obey the rules.? 45 ? they are defeated, they run away together. It is their teamwork ? 46 ? makes wolves powerful.?
The wolves also have great self?respect and won't ? 47 ? to anyone. The writer, who wrote the book “The Wolf Totem”,? 48 ? stole a one-month-old baby wolf and raised it very carefully. To his ? 49 ?,he found the little wolf still wanted to go back with ? 50 ? wolves. He bit through the iron chain that limited him. The wolf was ? 51 ? and he never gave in, fighting ? 52 ? his death. The little wolf died as a glorious fighter.?
I was shocked by this kind of ? 53 ?:wolves are one of the most respected creatures on earth. I want everyone to look at wolves in a ? 54 ? way. They are our teachers. They show us how to survive and ? 55 ? in this not simple and dangerous world. Please honor the wolves, please honor all these heroes of nature!
