The sun had set by now and it was getting  54  ．She tried to imagine having her favorite 55  on until she saw her front door It seemed different.   56   had taken care of the outside garden for days．She was  57  : her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and now…It all seemed  58  ．She couldn't understand what was going on．

She entered the  59  ．First，she went into the kitchen where she saw a(n)  60  written by her father．It said：“Dear Ellen，there is some coffee ready, I went  61  ．”Ellen was her mother but—where was she? On the right side of the hallway was her  62  room．She went in．Then she saw her mother, lying on the bed sleeping．Her  63  looked so tired，as if she hadn’t  64  for days．She was really pale．Jenny just fell asleep beside her．When Jennifer woke up she found something  65  ．She was in her cosy bed in her nightclothes．

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!

Ⅲ．Reading Comprehension

Section A

Some personal characteristics play an important role in the development of one’s intelligence．But people fail to realize the importance of training these factors in young people．

The so-called “non-intelligence factors” include one’s feelings, will, motivation, interests and habits．After a 30-year follow up study of 8,000 males, American psychologists50that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence51      , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn, will power and self-confidence．

52people all know that one should have definite objectives, a strong will and good learning habits, quite a number of teachers and parents don’t pay much attention to      53      these factors．

Some parents are greatly worried when their children fail to do well in their studies．They blame either genetic factors, malnutrition（营养不良） or laziness, but they never take54consideration these non-intelligence factors．At the same time, some teachers don’t inquire into these, as reasons55students do poorly．They simply give them more courses and exercises, or56      criticize or laugh at them．After all, these students lose self-confidence．Some of them just feel defeated and57themselves up as hopeless．Others may go astray（堕落）because they are sick of learning．An investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46．5 percent of them were58of learning, because of examinations, 36．4 percent lacked persistence, initiative and consciousness and 10．3 percent were sick of learning．

It is clear that the lack of cultivation of non-intelligence factors has been a main      59

to intelligence development in teenagers．It even causes an imbalance between physiological and 　60　 development among a few students．

If we don’t start now to61the cultivation of non-intelligence factors, it will not only affect the development of the intelligence of teenagers, but also affect the quality of a whole generation．Some experts have put forward62about how to cultivate students’ non-intelligence factors．

First, parents and teachers should63understand teenage psychology．On this basis, they can help them to pursue the objectives of learning，      64their interests and toughening their willpower．

At an airport I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together．They had announced her  54 ’s departure．Standing near the door, he said to his daughter: “I love you, I wish you  55  ．” She said: “Daddy, our life together has been more than enough．Your love is all I ever needed．I wish you enough, too, Daddy．” They kissed good-bye and she left．

       He walked   56   toward the window where I was seated．I tried not to intrude （侵犯） on his   57  , but he welcomed me in by asking: “Did you ever say good-bye to   58   knowing it would be forever?” “Yes, I have,” I replied．“  59   me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” I asked．“I am old and she lives much too far away．I have   60   ahead and the reality is, her next trip back will be for my funeral,” he said．“When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough．'' May I ask what that means?”

       He began to smile．“That is a wish that has been handed down from other  61  ．My parents used to say it to everyone．” He paused for a moment, looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, he  62  even more．“When we said ‘I wish you enough'', we wanted the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain them,” he continued and then  63  toward me, he shared the following  64  he were reciting it from memory． 

       “I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude  65  ．I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more．I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive．I wish you enough pain so that the  66  joys in life appear much bigger．I wish you enough gain to satisfy your  67  ．I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you  68  ．I wish enough “Hello”s to get you  69   the final “Good-bye．” He then began to sob （哽咽） and walked away．

       It is said that “It takes a/an  70  to find a special person, an hour to  71  them, a day to love them,  72  then an entire life to  73  them．”
