新语篇 名著节选 (2024·重庆二模)"The winter has come again," Buck, a great golden-brown dog, thought to himself as the first piece of snow touched his nose. But the cold of the winter wasn't his biggest worry. The breath of a group of wolves was hidden in the wind blowing from the forest. "The wolves have come with winter." Buck stood silently, waiting for them.
Suddenly, a wolf appeared and jumped at Buck. In a second, Buck broke his neck, and then stood still again. The wolf was dead behind him. Three more wolves jumped at him and were also killed. Then the group attacked Buck together. Yet not one of them could bring Buck down: he was too quick, too strong, too clever for them all. After half an hour, the group stopped.
Another hour passed. Finally, one wolf moved forward to Buck in a submissive way. The wolf walked near slowly with his head down. They touched noses. Then another wolf came forward to do the same, and another, and another. Soon the group was all around Buck, howling into the sky. The call of the wild was loud in Buck's ears. And when the wolves returned to the forest, Buck ran with them, side by side.
After a few years, the local villagers began to notice that some of the little wolves had golden brown hairs in their gray coats. They also saw a golden-brown animal that stood in front of the group of wolves. They called it the "Ghost(幽灵)Wolf".
"And I once saw dead horses and deer killed by the teeth of a terrible animal. It was the Ghost Wolf!" shouted one villager.
"I saw it too, in a valley which we dare not enter. What kind of animal would be brave enough to do so?" said another.
The Ghost Wolf was Buck. Though he was still in a golden-brown coat, he became like all other wolves. He would walk around the lake where the yellow gold shone in the water and howled. And he was not always alone. In the long nights, he ran in the front of the wolf group through the moonlight, and then disappeared in the darkness.
