     Farley worked for the Canadian government. One day，he was1 to learn more about wolves. Do wolves kill lots of caribou (北美驯鹿)? Do they kill people?

     They gave him lots of food and clothes and guns. Then they put him on a plane and took him to 2 . They put him down and went away. There were no houses or people in this place. But there were lots of animals and lots of wolves.

People tell terrible stories about wolves. They say wolves like to kill and eat people. Farley remembered these stories，and he was 3. He had his gun with him 4 .

     Then one day， he saw a group of wolves. There was a mother wolf with four baby wolves. A father wolf and another young wolf lived with them.

     Farley watched these wolves every day. The mother was a very 5 mother. She gave milk to her babies. She gave them lessons about life. They learned how to 6 food. The father wolf got food for the mother. The young    wolf 7 the children. They were a nice， happy family — wolf family! Farley did not need his8anymore. In a short time，he got on well with the family. Farley watched them for five months. He learned that many stories about the wolves were 9. Wolves do not eat people， and they do not eat many large animals. And he also learned bad things about men. It was men who killed many caribou and wolves.

     Later， Farley wrote a book about wolves. He wanted people to10 them and not to kill them.

    Learning English is just like learning to ride a bicycle. When learning English becomes a kind of habit，everything will become easier.

    Please think about how we learned to ride a bicycle. There are four stages (阶段): At the first stage，the child doesn't know what it is to ride a bicycle， nor can he ride. So look at ourselves，when we learned English at the first time， we were also in this condition.

    And then is the second stage. Although the child cannot ride himself，he grows and understands what it is to ride a bicycle. So，at this time，teachers are our navigation (航海) marks.

    So according to this，we are just like the child starting to learn and now come to the third stage. He can ride a bicycle but has to think every time how to do it.

    At last，the fourth stage comes when the child has practiced consciously (有意识地) riding the bicycle so much that he doesn't have to think. Riding a bicycle becomes a kind of habit. He can talk to people and wave (招手) to others while riding.

    Learning English is just like learning to ride a bicycle. When learning becomes a kind of habit，we'll find we can be successful not only in English but also in other subjects. When learning becomes a kind of habit， I think， no， I believe，one day we'll succeed and the success will belong to us forever.

    The world is not hungry，but it is thirsty. It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of (短缺) water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can't drink or use for watering plants directly. Man can only drink and use the 3%—— the water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we can't even use all of that， because some of it has been polluted.

     Now more water is needed. The problem is: Can we avoid a serious water shortage (短缺) later on?

     First we should all learn how to save water. Secondly，we should find out the ways to reuse it. Scientists have always been making studies in the field. Today，in most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers. But it can be used again. Even if every large city reused its water，still there would not be enough. What could people turn to next?

     The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water. This is expensive， but it's already used in many parts of the world. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it. So you see，if we can find a way out，we'll be in no danger of drying up.

    We can't stop an earthquake，but we can do things to make sure they don't destroy (毁坏) whole cities. First，it is not a idea to build houses along lines where of the earth's plates (板块) join together. Second，if you think there be an earthquake，it is better to build houses on rocks， not on Third， you must make the houses as as possible. Weak buildings will down in an earthquake，but strong ones may stay up.

    Scientists are that one day an even bigger earthquake will hit the part around San Francisco. They call it “The Big One”. However，people today are still building more The population in and around San Francisco is ten times more than it was in 1906. This means that there is another earthquake，a great many houses and buildings will be destroyed.
