The simplest way to say it is this: I believe in my mother. My 36 began when I was just a kid. I 37 becoming a doctor.
My mother was a domestic. Through her work, she observed that 38 people spent a lot more time reading than they 39 watching television. She announced that my brother and I 40 watch two to three pre-selected TV programs during the week. With our free time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and41 her written book reports. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights. Years later, we realized her marks were a 42 . My mother was Illiterate(不识字的，文盲的)。
When I entered high school I was a(n)43 , but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to 44 the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student. One night my mother came home from 45 her various jobs and I complained about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said, “Okay, I’ll give you all the money I make this week scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms, and you can buy 46 food and pay the bills. With everything 47 , you can have all the Italian knit shirts you want.” I was very 48 with that arrangement but once I got through distributing money, there was 49 left. I realized my mother was a financial genius to be able to 50 our heads and any kind of food on the table,51 buy clothes. I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasn’t going to get me anywhere. Success required intellectual preparation. I went back to my 52 and became an A-student again, and eventually I 53 my dream and I became a doctor.
My story is really my mother’s story—a woman with54 formal education or property who used her position as a parent to change the lives of many people around the globe. There is no job 55 than parenting.（养育） This I believe.

When we talk about a bad man, we like to call him a “wolf”. But is it really true that the wolf stands for devil and ugliness？
Have you read the book “The Wolf Totem” by a famous writer Jiang Rong, which tells the story of the relationship between wolves and human beings? Have you ever 36 the wolves' world? If you had, you would 37 the wolves.
In the book, wolves are heroes on the large grassland. They know more about 38 than humans. They can attack lambs without disturbing their mothers. They also know how to39 full use of the shape of land to 40 sheep. I believe that if wolves were humans, they would be41 experts good at fighting.
The wolf is a kind of special creature that can deeply understand 42 . Each wolf serves its group with its heart and soul. A 43 wolf has little power, but a pack of wolves 44 nothing. All the wolves obey the rules. 45 they are defeated, they run away together. It is their teamwork 46 makes wolves powerful.
The wolves also have great self-respect and won't 47 to anyone. The writer, who wrote the book “The Wolf Totem”, 48 stole a one-month-old baby wolf and raised it very carefully. To his 49 , he found the little wolf still wanted to go back with 50 wolves. He bit through the iron chain that limited him. The wolf was 51 and he never gave in, fighting 52 his death. The little wolf died as a glorious fighter.
I was shocked by this kind of 53 : wolves are one of the most respected creatures on earth. I want everyone to look at wolves in a 54 way. They are our teachers. They show us how to survive and 55in this not simple and dangerous world. Please honor the wolves, please honor all these heroes of nature!
