Four years ago,an accident took my wife away and I had to take care of our youny child . There was one particular night, when I had an __36__ at work. Therefore, I __37_ cooked an egg and left my sleepy child alone at home.

It was very late when I __38__. With just a brief hug and kiss for my child, I went stright into the room, without having dinner. __39__, when I jumped into my bed , all I heard and felt was broken sounds and __40__ liquid. I opened my blanket, and there _41__ the source of the “problem”—a broken bowl with noodels and a mess on the bed.

I was so _42_ that I rushed into Loe’s room and gave him a good spanking. He __43__ cried but didn’t ask for mercy, except a short explanation.

“Dad, I was _44__, but you were not back yet, so I wanted to cook some noodles.But I remembered that you __45_ me not to touch or use the kitchen without any __46__ around; therefore, I __47__ the shower and used the hot water to cook the noodles.However, I was __48__ that the noodles would turn cold, so I put it under the__49__ to keep it warm __50__ you return. But I forgot to remind you.”

I went towards my son to give him a(n) __51__ hug and asked him to sleep. Then I began to _52__ the mess on the bed. When everthing was done, I passed my son’s room, and saw that he was still __53__ while looking at his mother’s photo.He cried not for the __54__ on his little body. After this _55__, I have tried to give him both the love of dad and mum.

For photographers lacking training, experience and even the ability to click a shutter button, they produce remarkable pictures. Under the sea, deep in the woods and high in the sky, furry, feathery and leathery-skinned creatures are opening up vistas（远景）by taking cameras where no human can go.

This is the world of animal-borne imagine celebrated last month at a conference sponsored(supported) by the National Geographic Society for the 20th anniversary of its Crittercam, the device that started it all.

Since its debut（首次公开露面）in 1987 on the back of a turtle, the Crittercam and similar devices developed by others have grown smaller and more powerful.

“It’s more than just a camera now,” said Greg Marshall, the marine biologist and now filmmaker who invented the Crittercam. “We are now including more instruments to gather more data while at the same time reducing everything in size.”

The idea of attaching video cameras to animals came to Mr. Marshall in 1986 on a dive off Belize when a shark apporached him. When the animal quickly turned away, he noticed a shark with a sucker fish on its belly. He came up with the idea that putting a camera in place of the sucker fish would allow people to witness the shark’s behavior without disturbing it.

Crittercams have been attached to sharks, sea lions and other marine animals, and, more recently, to land animals.

Birds are a new addition, Mr. Marshall said. Dr. Christian Rutz of Oxford recently reported on tiny cameras called feathercams that monitor the crows in the South Pacific. It has discovered that crows are smarter than anyone knew they not only use twigs（嫩枝）and grass stems as tools to root out food, but they also save their favorite tools to use again.

Tracey L. Rogers, director of the Australian Marine Mammal Research Center in Sydney, said crittercam was a powerful tool in her work with leopard seals（豹斑海豹）in Antarctica. “In studying animals,” Dr. Rogers said at the meeting, “you want to see how our animal models align（与……一致）with reality. With a camera, you actually see what they do. You don’t have to guess.”
