It was the song of the wolf howling in a distant forest. There were many wolves then. Onekind was the North American timber wolf.Wolves are important to the balance of nature because they eat sick and weak animals. In Colorado, people tried to help deer by shooting wolves. But then there were so many deer that many of them starved to death.The timber wolf is on the endangered special list. Animals on this list are in danger of disappearing from the earth. People drove the wolves away by cutting down the forests to build houses, towns, and highways. Timber wolves are now found only in Canada, Alaska, Michigan, and Minnesota.This special animal may soon disappear from our forests forever. Then, its lonely howl will never be heard again.8.

For one thing, I never imagined that sunflower seeds(葵花籽) would be so popular here. I found people having them while waiting for tables outside restaurants, beforedinner and, of course, while watching TV. I also saw that a plate of sunflower seeds is always on tables during the Spring Festival holidays.I had seldom tried sunflower seeds when I came to China. In the UK, young people love their snacks. In fact, young people in Britain eat more snacks than people of the same age in other European countries. A recent Survey has discovered that 64% of under 20-year-olds snackbetween meals, according to an article on a British website. In comparison(对比), 58.7% of youngpeople snack in Germany, 53% in France, and only 40.7% in Spain.In Britain, we always looked forward to our favorite potato chips and chocolate bars after school. In U.S. One of things that I found the most wonderful when I first visited the US was the number of snacks in their supermarkets; I was surprised to find huge shelves just for snacks were bigger than some stores in the UK.Snack tastes in the US are much the same as in the UK.All in all, its probably best for your health if you like sunflower seeds rather than potatochips and chocolate. But eating these delicious snacks sometimes couldnt be wrong, could it?12. What is the article mainly about? A. The most popular snack in China. B. Snacks young Western people like. C.
