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.

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!
