12．（10分）    Evan was watching TV in the living room when his mother walked in and turned it off."Time to do your schoolwork，" she said.Evan had to write a report on wolves but he would rather hang out with his brother Toby than write it.

"I'm tired from soccer，" Evan complained as he went to his bedroom.Looking at the library books，he started reading.When he read a book，he noticed a photograph.It was a pack（兽群） of wolves running after a deer."Wow!" he thought.He turned the page and saw a wolf pup（狼崽）.It was so cute.Evan went back to the beginning of the book.He got intrigued and read carefully.

Evan finished reading all the books.He still wanted to know more.But by now he was even more tired.He put his head on his desk，and soon he fell asleep.

Waking up，he found himself standing in the snow.Then，he saw a pack of gray wolves near him.Evan looked down.He had become a wolf !

He sniffed（嗅） the air and smelled a buffalo.It was dinner time.He knew that wolves could live for two weeks without eating.But he was so hungry.He wanted food now.

He also knew that every pack has a male leader.No wolf seemed to be in charge（负责）."Am I the leader？" Evan wondered.He decided to find out.

"Aaaa﹣ooooo!" he howled.The pack came to him.That was it!He was the leader!He had to be careful.He

couldn't lead the wolves into another pack's area.It was too dangerous.

Evan saw the buffalo ahead.Together the wolves formed a circle around it and tried to catch it.But the buffalo got away.Evan and the others were tired.They gave up.

Evan felt bad.He knew that the leader ate first.But since they didn't have food，no wolf would eat.

Suddenly，something pushed him.Then Toby laughed， "I guess reading about wolves was boring.""No way，" Evan said."Life can be hard for a wolf.I really admire them.""Dinner's ready.You can tell me about it while we eat，" Toby said.Evan couldn't wait to share his dream.
