The cause of all this 9 was a very strange noise.It 10 as if thousands and thousands of 11 were chirping(鸣叫).The sound of so 12 birds toghter was quite surprising and many people looked 13 .The most extraordinary thing was that,except one or two 14 , there was not a bird in 15 .No one was able to know why- 16 two policemen arrived on the scene.They walked all around the area for a while and then went over near the railroad tracks beside a big board advertisement(广告)for a 17 .Since the noise seemed to be coming from around there, they climbed up and found that two loudspeakers had been 18 behind the advertisement.The bird noises were being broadcast to 19 attention to the film advertisement.
The cinema that made this advertisement was 20 to take the loudspeakers away, because they caused trouble and people were tired of them.

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 1 the wolves' world? If you had, you would 2 the wolves.?
In the book, wolves are heroes on the large grassland.They know more about 3 than humans.They can attack lambs without disturbing their mothers.They also know how to 4 full use of the shape of land to 5 sheep.I believe that if wolves were humans, they would be 6 experts good at fighting.
The wolf is a kind of special creature that can deeply understand 7 .Each wolf serves its group with its heart and soul.A 8 wolf has little power, but a pack of wolves 9 nothing.All the wolves obey the rules. 10 they are defeated, they run away together.It is their teamwork 11 makes wolves powerful.
The wolves also have great self-respect and won't 12 to anyone.The writer, who wrote the book “The Wolf Totem”, 13 stole a one-month-old baby wolf and raised it very carefully.To his 14 , he found the little wolf still wanted to go back with 15 wolves.He bit through the iron chain that limited him.The wolf was 16 and he never gave in, fighting 17 his death.The little wolf died as a glorious fighter.
I was shocked by this kind of 18 :wolves are one of the most respected creatures on earth.I want everyone to look at wolves in a 19 way.They are our teachers.They show us how to survive and 20 in this not simple and dangerous world.Please honor the wolves, please honor all these heroes of nature!

In 1971, readers around the world were astonished by some photographs which appeared in newspapers.Hidden deep in the rainforests of an island in the Philippines, was an ethnic(种族的) 1 called the Tasaday.Not until that moment did anyone have any 2 of these people.They didn’t have an agricultural economy; they hunted animals and 3 fruit from the plants in the rainforest.They carried tools made of stone, lived in 4 and wore clothes made of leaves.Unknown until 1971, they 5 became world famous.After that, there were TV 6 and books about them; people said their simple lives showed that human beings could be good and kind if they were not 7 by modern life.Then after 1974 the region was closed by the government and the world 8 about them.
In 1986, a Swiss journalist, Oswald Iten, decided to visit the Tasaday.The journey 9 thick rainforests and across rivers was hard and dangerous.Mr.Iten was 10 killed by the soldiers, villagers and businessmen who wanted to take the wood from the rainforest.Finally, Mr.Iten 11 and found the caves of the Tasaday 12 .The people were living in nearby huts and they were all 13 jeans and T-shirts, not leaves.He thought that perhaps they were not an ethnic minority 14 .
When he 15 to Switzerland, Mr.Iten wrote about the Tasaday people in the newspapers.He said he thought that they were just ordinary farmers, poor, but not 16 from anyone else.He believed that in 1971, the government told “the Tasaday” to 17 they were native people from thousands of years ago, so that tourists-and money-would start 18 into the region.
One group of experts said that they really were people who had no 19 with modern life before 1971; another group said they were just 20 the part.So who are these people, really? Perhaps we’ll never really be sure.

I can still remember when I met my best friend.She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to 1 me.I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother, 2 to look at each other.Soon we lost the 3 and started playing with each other.
In the 7th grade,I first lost touch with her.She was 4 family problems and I deserted her to be with the "cooler people" because they knew she had been a 5 person.None of my new friends liked her as much as I did because they knew she had 6 .However,every summer we could always sit at each other’s house and watch soap operas,and talk about all the boys we liked.
It was last year when I noticed the problem.I guess I was too devoted in high school to 7 she needed someone there for her.Anyway,she made a new best friend and so did I.Then 1 didn’t know why,but she started cutting herself!
She then was diagnosed(诊断)with clinical(临床的)depression.At first,1 was very 8 , but we still stayed in 9 .I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend basically 10 her and people were calling her 11 , and I knew I still cared about her like a sister.
Yesterday she came to me and said:“I never knew what a best friend was until you were the only person that would stop me cutting.I 12 you so much,and you didn’t even know you were 13 me.”
We both cried.And I guess a kind of 14 from my life so far is never to give up on your friends.Even if they aren’t as cool as others,or people think they are crazy,they need someone there.If you desert them,you will only be 15 yourself.So if a friend needs you, and you care for them, you can never desert them.

By the third year of teaching I’d begun to expect Christmas break more for the school holiday and less for the excitement of the children.I was teaching fourth grade and my students had made me 1 .I just had to get through one of the hardest days of the school year.
The morning bell rang.I walked 2 through the cold into the overly heated school building.Twenty-two smiling faces 3 me at the school bus stop.I forced myself to 4 their smiles.Back into the classroom, they 5 , comparing plans for the 6 .I had to remove one student from each arm 7 I could take a seat at my desk for my morning duties.Before I could find my roll book(点名册)my desk was covered with 8 and gifts followed by a 9 of “Merry Christmas” wishes.
“Oh, thank you,” I must have 10 a million times.Each gift was truly special to me, except my 11 mood.It was kind of them to 12 me.After a while, I heard a small nervous 13 say my name.I looked up to see Brandon standing 14 by my desk, holding a small, round gift.“This is for you.”
“Thank you, Sweetheart.” I laid it on my desk with the others.
“Um, could you 15 it now?”
I gently tore at the paper and tape.“ 16 ,” he said, “it’s breakable.” Slowly I opened a small, green Christmas tree ornament(装饰物), complete with a hook already 17 .It dawned on me what he had done.Then a nearby student said that he just pulled that off his own tree.I tried to keep my 18 back.
Later that day, I sat 19 the ornament in my hands.Was I really so important to this child that he had searched for something to give me? Now every year as I 20 pull a green Christmas ball from my ornament box, I remember the deep influence my students have on me.
