During my travels through the mountains of Greece I was only ever scared once. It was dusk and as I walked alone I came across six large wolves(狼)that were feeding on the body of a dead animal. I had heard many stories about wolves as a child and it was this animal that I feared more than any other. The wolves before me were huge, at least 6 feet long and covered with thick grey fur.As I went near, the wolves left the blood-covered snow that surrounded the body and started walking towards me, one after another. They stopped about 20 metres from me and stared. The lead wolf raised his head into the air and took in a deep breath, as if he was smelling my presence. The animals looked both beautiful and frightening, but I knew I could not show them my fear. As I drew nearer, the lead wolf raised its head once more but this time let out a long, loud cry. The awful cry rang out across the silent valley. I had never heard a more frightening sound. I was almost certain it was a sign to be death.

Every moment I expected to see the pack of wolves dash(冲)at me. I knew my only hope was to pretend I had no fear. I walked past the line of wolves, like a general(将军)moving among his soldiers. They cried out loud again. But when they saw that their cry did not cause me to change my direction or make me run they feared to come after me, so they let me pass and returned to the dead animal.

If I had turned back or tried to run away when they marched out to meet me, I am certain the whole pack would have attacked(进攻)me in a moment. But my show of false courage intimidated them and kept them back.

WHY NOT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN

THIS….. AND THIS

This summer, join the International Conservation(保护)Scouts on a fun-filled holiday with a difference. Year after year, young people from all around the world get together at one of our sixteen conservation camps. Their shared aim(目标)is to help protect the countryside and its wildlife.

Many animals and plants are in danger of disappearing forever. The dormouse, a kind of mouse, for example, needs woodland plants for food and trees to stay in. Its habitat (栖息地) is being destroyed by man and it needs our help to survive.

On a conservation camp holiday, you’ll learn all about nature and how to protect it. Our trained leaders will be with you and tell you everything you need to know. Because of this, you don’t need any experience, just energy and enthusiasm(热情). You will explore the countryside and work to ensure the survival (生存) of hundreds of animals and plants and still have plenty of time to enjoy the camp’s excellent sport games and organized nature paths through beautiful scenery.

The International Conservation Scouts is a world-wide organization, so there must be a camp near you. You can spend a splendid holiday at any of the camps for as little as ￡60, including accommodation(住宿) and food.
