White Fang was a wolf-dog, born in the wild cold North. His mother was half wolf, half dog, and his father was a full-blooded wolf. He grew up in the forest, learning to hunt, fight, and survive the cruel snow and ice. The world he knew was hard—only the strong lived, and the weak died. He learned to snarl and bite to protect himself, to run fast to catch food, and to hide from bigger, fiercer animals.
One day, White Fang met Gray Beaver, a Native American man. Gray Beaver caught him and took him to the human village. For the first time, White Fang lived with humans. He did not understand their ways, and he hated being tied up. The village dogs bullied him, and he had to fight them every day. He became a fierce fighter, winning every battle, and the dogs soon feared him. Gray Beaver was proud of his strength and kept him close.
White Fang learned to obey humans, but his heart was still wild. He loved the forest, the wind, and the freedom of running alone. Yet he also learned to trust Gray Beaver, who was kind to him sometimes, giving him food and a warm place to sleep. Life in the village was different from the wild—there was food every day, but no freedom. White Fang was caught between two worlds: the wild where he was born, and the human world that now held him.
As the months passed, White Fang grew bigger and stronger. His yellow eyes were sharp, and his teeth were like knives. All in the village knew him, and all feared him. But he was loyal to Gray Beaver, the first human who had ever shown him a little kindness. He would stand by Gray’s side, snarl at anyone who came near, and protect his master with his life.

We Can’t Live Without Bees
Imagine you go to the supermarket in your area, but there are almost no fruits, vegetables, honey, milk, eggs, or chocolate. How would you feel? Disappointed? Angry? Sad? At this moment you realize people, plants, and animals are all connected. We need each other to live, and bees are one of the best examples of this connection.
Bees are very hard-working animals, and their greatest work is pollination. On one trip, they often visit 50 to 100 flowers. As they fly from one flower to another, they take pollen with them. This action helps plants grow. In fact, without their work, about 80 per cent of the plants in the world cannot grow. For this reason, many scientists believe that bees are the most important animals on this planet.
Bees are also one of the most interesting animals in the world. For example, they work hard together to make their homes. In order to store honey, they create honeycombs. Another interesting thing about bees is how they communicate. When a bee finds new food, it uses a dance to tell the others where and how far away the food is.
Bees play an important part in the ecosystem of our planet. However, the number of bees is dropping, and scientists are worried. Bees need our help, and there is a lot we can do. Think about what you can do to protect one of the most amazing animals on earth.
( )36.What is the greatest work of bees?
A.Making honey. B.Pollination.
C.Building honeycombs. D.Dancing.
( )37.How many flowers do bees often visit on one trip?
A.50 to 100. B.10 to 20. C.200 to 300. D.Over 1,000.
( )38.Without bees’ work, about how many plants in the world cannot grow?
A.About 20 per cent. B.About 50 per cent.
C.About 80 per cent. D.Almost all of them.
( )39.How does a bee tell the others where the new food is?
A.By dancing. B.By singing.
C.By making a loud sound. D.By drawing a map.
( )40.Why are scientists worried?
A.Because bees cannot make honey. B.Because the number of bees is falling.
C.Because bees are dangerous. D.Because bees cost too much.
