The cub (幼崽) went out for food. Suddenly, he saw something new. Five live things were sitting around something bright. It was his first time to see men. One of the Indians went over to pet him. This made him angry and he bit the man. The man hit him hard. She-wolf heard her cub’s cry and came to help him. One of the men shouted ‘Kiche!’ at her. She remembered it.

The man said, “This animal was my brother’s pet. When he died, she ran away. Her father was a wolf, but her mother was a dog.”

“It is a year, Gray Beaver, since she ran away,” said a second Indian.

“He has white fangs (尖牙), we’ll call him White Fang. We’ll take him and his mother with us.” replied Gray Beaver. Then he tied up Kiche, and White Fang lay down beside her.

Soon the rest of the Indians arrived. They were moving camp. They had dogs that also carried things. When the dogs saw Kiche and White Fang, they rushed at them, there was soon a great fight. The men separated them. White Fang and his mother had many bites, again she felt the power of men. They were the makers of law.

They came to a river. There were many tents. White Fang had never seen a tent before. White Fang was amazed by what he saw the men do. They were the masters of things not alive.

Later that day, some men began putting branches and leaves into a pile. White Fang saw something bright like the sun appeared, and grew. He had never seen fire before. He went up and put his nose into the fire. The pain was very bad. He jumped into the air, yelping. Kiche snarled loudly, but she could not get to her cub.

Tom is a TV reporter. An amazing thing happened to Tom yesterday evening. He was walking alone on his way home when he saw bright light in the sky. Then a spacecraft (航天器) showed up. At first he thought it was orange and white, and it was coming closer and closer. Then it stopped a few metres above the ground. He saw two people inside. They had big ears and small eyes, but no hair. Tom thought they were aliens. He had camera with him then, but he was too scared to take a photo. Then he began to feel weak and fell to the ground. An hour later’he woke up. He found himself lying on the grass in front of his house. He couldn’t explain how he got there. Of course he told his friends about this strange experience. All of them said he was kidding.

“You have to take care of the baby today,” a woman   tells her husband, “I'm not feeling well .” “Then you must have a good rest, dear,” Her husband says, “I'm glad to look after our baby.” “Thank you. I’ll have a quiet day,” she says. “Shall I go shopping for you too?” He asks. She is very happy and says, “That will help me a lot.” She writes the shopping list and gives it to him. “You can get all these things in the supermarket. You can put the baby in the shopping cart so you don't have to leave him outside.”

The man does what his wife says. At first, everything goes well.          then the baby begins to cry. He cries harder and harder. “Keep calm( 镇 静 的 ), George,” the man says,“Don't shout! George. Don't get mad, George.”

A woman in the supermarket hears him saying these things. She walks up to him. “I think you're wonderful,” she says, “you are so patient（有耐心的）with your little George.”
