狼历来被世人视为凶残的动物,事实是否的确如此呢?带着这一疑问，Farley进行了实地考察，在和狼进行了零距离的接触后, 改变了自己的观点。本文告诉我们要学会根据事实说话。

【答案简析】

1. B。Farley是政府工作人员。从上下文得知, 他是被派去进行调查和研究狼的习性的，故选told。

2. C。根据下文飞机把Farley送到了一个没有房屋和人的地方, 说明了这个地方不可能是城市,小镇和村庄故a far place为正确答案。

3. A。狼吃人的恐怖故事给孤身一人的Farley带来的应是afraid。

4. B。因为Farley害怕, 所以枪应始终不能离身。all the time意为“一直、始终”。

5. B。根据下文的描述，狼妈妈给孩子们喂奶，对孩子们进行训练，可见是一位好妈妈，故选good。
