上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 1.StarterA Man Among WolvesThis is Shaun Ellis.Hes done something that few would dare and even fewer understand.His passion for these animals has led him to live life as a wolf.Shaun has no formal scientific training,but for 15 years,hes studied and written about wolves in Poland and America.He spent two of those years in the United States,studying with a native American wolf expert.Hes also been a wolf advisor in zoos and wildlife parks around the world.By being accepted into a wolf pack,Shaun hopes to prove that man can live in harmony with wolves as long as he respects their ways.BackNextTo be continued10focus1starter 上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 1.StarterDay in and day out,Shaun puts his life on the line to be accepted as a member of the pack.At any moment,these wolves could seriously injure him,even kill him.But hes spent 15 years studying wolf language and behavior,and that knowledge is what keeps him alive.“Every day is a battle for survival.That is harsh existence coming under natures laws,their rules.”Shaun and his pack of North American timber wolves live here,at the Combe Martin Wildlife Park in England,about 200 miles southwest of London.This is a unique experiment.By living with these wolves,Shaun hopes to gain insight into their behavior.And though he is teaching them how to survive in the wild,they are also teaching him a thing or two.This pack has allowed Shaun to enter their world and live as one of their own.Theyve even accepted him in a dominant role.So how did this man become the leader of a wolf pack?The short answer is that he fit the bill.In this case,the best wolf for the job wasnt a wolf at all.BackNext11focus1text 上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 BackNextText Organization12focus1text

it one summer evening in June.It was already eight oclock and Sylvia wondered if her grandmother would be angry with her for being so late.2 Every evening Sylvia left her grandmothers house at five thirty to bring their cow home.It was Sylvias job to bring the animal home to be milked.When the cow heard Sylvias voice calling her,she would hide among the bushes.Translation白鹭白鹭1 六月的一个黄昏，森林里树影婆娑，一个小女孩正在其中匆匆穿行。已经是晚上八点了，西尔维娅想，这么晚回家，外婆会不会生气呢？2 每天傍晚五点半，西尔维娅就离开外婆家去把母牛牵回家。她的活就是把这头牲口赶回家挤奶。母牛听到西尔维娅叫她的声音时，老是躲到灌木丛中去。上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 BackNext

the forest as late as this.Sylvia felt as if she were a part of the gray shadows and the silver leaves that moved in the evening breeze.Translation3 3 这天晚上，西尔维娅花了比平时更长的时间才找到母牛。小女孩赶着牛，匆匆穿过阴暗的树林，向外婆家走去。母牛在一条小溪边停下来饮水时，西尔维娅就把她的光脚浸在冰凉清澈的溪水中。4 4 她以前从未这么晚还独自一人呆在林子里。西尔维娅觉得自己仿佛与灰暗的树影和在晚风中摇曳的银色树叶融为一体了。上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 BackNext 2.Text:A white heron

母牛喝完水后，这个九岁的小女孩继续在林中匆匆前行。突然，不远处传来一声尖锐的口哨声，打破了林中的宁静。西尔维娅知道，这不是鸟儿亲切的啼鸣。于是她不顾母牛，躲进了一丛灌木，但是已经太晚了。7“嗨，小姑娘，这儿离大路有多远啊？”一个年轻人高兴地喊道。西尔维娅浑身颤抖，低声嗫嚅道：“两英里。”她从灌木丛中钻出来，抬头看到一个高高的小伙子，手里拿着一杆枪。上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社
