Growing up, I remember my father as a silent, strict man—not the kind of person around whom one could laugh. As a teenager knowing little about life, I wanted a father who could  1. the mysteries of the human journey. In college, when friends called home for  2., I would become  3. for what I didn’t have.

Then one night after my move back home, I overheard my father on the telephone. There was some trouble. Later, he  4. the problem with me. Obviously my knowledge of law helped him a lot. I talked through the problem with him,  5. the motives of the people involved and offering several negotiation strategies.

He  6. patiently before finally admitting, “I can’t think like that. I’m a  7. man.”

My father is a  8. scientist who has a good knowledge of the building blocks of nature.  9., human nature is a mystery to him. That night I realized he was simply not skilled at  10. people. It’s not in his  11. to understand human desires.

It was no one’s  12. that my father showed no interest in human emotions while I placed great importance on them. We are sometimes born more sensitive, and dreamy than our  13. and become more curious, and idealistic than them.  14. I, who knew my father as an intelligent man, had never understood his intelligence didn’t cover all of my  15. feelings.

I believe that coming home has  16. me years of questions and confusion. I nowadays consider my parents as people who have other relationships than just being my parents, relationships that  17. and define them.

Best of all, I nowadays regard my parents as  18.: people who ask me for advice; people who need my  19. and understanding. And I’ve come to see my past in a  20. view. Knowing them makes me feel safe in where I come from and where I’m going.

When we talk about a wolf, we tend to describe it as a kind of fierce creature. But is it true that the wolf stands for devil(魔鬼) and ugliness?

Have you read the book "The Wolf Totem'' 《狼图腾》by a famous writer Jiang Rong, which tells the story of the relationship between wolves and human beings? Have you ever 51 the wolves' world? If you had, you would __52__ the wolves. In the book, wolves are heroes on the large grassland. They know more about __53__ than humans. They can attack sheep without disturbing their mothers. They also know how to __54__ full use of the shape of land to __55__ sheep. I believe that if wolves were humans, they would be __56__ at fighting.

The wolf is a kind of special creature that can deeply understand __57__. Each wolf serves its group with its heart and soul. A __58__ wolf has little power, but a group of wolves __59__ nothing. All the wolves obey the rules. __60__ they are beaten, they run away together. It is their teamwork __61__ makes wolves powerful.

The wolves also have great self-preservation and won't __62__ to anyone. The writer, who wrote the book “The Wolf Totem”, __63__ stole a one - month - old baby wolf and raised it very carefully. To his __64__, he found the little wolf still wanted to go back with __65__ wolves. The little wolf bit through the iron chain that limited it. The wolf was __66__ and never gave up fighting __67__ its death. It seemed that the little wolf died as a glorious fighter.

I was shocked by this kind of __68__ wolves which are one of the most respected creature on the  earth. I want everyone to look at wolves in a __69__ way. They are our teachers. They show us how to survive and __70__ this not simple but dangerous world. Please honor the wolves, please honor all these heroes of nature!
