It was the song of the wolf howling in a distant forest. There

27、were many wolves then. One kind was the North American timber wolf. Wolves are important to the balance of nature because they eat sick and weak animals.

34、n entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble; it is just that they feel cut off from the older peoples world, into which they have not yet been accepted.

35、ertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy. Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do.

42、prices do. One might think that inflation doesnt matter. But it does .When money is losing value, it also loses one of the qualities of a good moneystability（稳定）of value.
