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 , a moose jumped out across our path. I had been driving for years and was 3 in driving. In order to avoid knocking 4 the moose, I made a quick turn to the other lane. Had I not done that, the moose might have been killed, and my wife and I might have got 5 , too. A few seconds later, when I stopped 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 7 between humans and wildlife. We know that animal species have appeared and disappeared 8 since life began on the Earth, which 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. The 13 to protect animals and nature in general 14 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.
