It happened on a rainy Saturday morning last month. My wife Catherine and I were driving along what some people called moose (麋鹿) alley. It was so 1 that there were few cars on the road. 2, something happened. A moose jumped out across our path. I had been driving for years and was good at driving. In order to 3 knocking into the moose, I made a quick turn to the other lane. If I had not done that, the moose might have been killed, and my wife and I might have got 4, too. A few seconds later, when I 5 and looked back in my rear view mirror, the moose was getting up and then ran into the bush. Shaken but 6, we both looked at each other with a surprised expression.
From then on, I often thought about the relationship between humans and 7. We know that animal species have appeared and disappeared 8 since life began on the Earth. This is a (n) 9 phenomenon. However, animal species have been 10 at a much faster rate for about a century now 11 human factors such as pollution.
Certain philosophers and scientists keep repeating that if we don't save animals, how we will be able to save ourselves. A better 12 of animals gives us a better understanding of our own species. The13 to protect animals and nature in general14 the value of a society. And all animals play roles in nature and have a right to 15. Therefore, I think we should try our best to save endangered animals, because humans cannot live on the Earth alone.
