The first VOA news report began with words in   38 . “The   39  may be good or bad, but we shall tell you the truth.” Within a week, other VOA   40  were broadcasting in Italian, French and English.

In the early days VOA began adding something new to its Broadcast that was   44     “Music USA”. Another new idea came along in 1959.

In 1971, readers around the world were astonished by some photographs which appeared in newspapers. Hidden deep in the rainforests of an island in the Philippines, was an ethnic (種族的)  36 called the Tasaday. Not until that moment did anyone have any   37   of these people. They didn’t have an agricultural economy; they hunted animals and   38  fruit from the plants in the rainforest. They carried tools made of stone, lived in   39  and wore clothes made of leaves. Unknown until 1971, they   40  became world famous. After that, there were TV   41 and books about them; people said their simple lives showed that human beings could be good and kind if they were not  42 by modern life. Then after 1974 the region was closed by the government and the world   43  about them.
In 1986, a Swiss journalist, Oswald Iten, decided to visit the Tasaday. The journey   44  thick rainforests and across rivers was hard and dangerous. Mr. Iten was   45  killed by the soldiers, villagers and businessmen who wanted to take the wood from the rainforest. Finally, Mr. Iten   46  and found the caves of the Tasaday   47 . The people were living in nearby huts and they were all   48  jeans and T-shirts, not leaves. He thought that perhaps they were not an ethnic minority   49  .
When he   50  to Switzerland, Mr. Iten wrote about the Tasaday people in the newspapers. He said he thought that they were just ordinary farmers, poor, but not   51  from anyone else. He believed that in 1971, the government told “the Tasaday” to   52  they were native people from thousands of years ago, so that tourists---and money---would start   53  into the region.
One group of experts said that they really were people who had no   54  with modern life before 1971; another group said they were just   55  the part. So who are these people, really? Perhaps we’ll never really be sure.

When we talk about a bad man, we like to call him a “wolf”. But is it really true that the wolf stands for devil and ugliness？?
Have you read the book “The Wolf Totem” by a famous writer Jiang Rong, which tells the story of the relationship between wolves and human beings? Have you ever  36 the wolves' world? If you had, you would  37 the wolves.?
In the book, wolves are heroes on the large grassland. They know more about  38 than humans. They can attack lambs without disturbing their mothers. They also know how to 39 full use of the shape of land to  40 sheep. I believe that if wolves were humans, they would be   41  experts good at fighting.?
The wolf is a kind of special creature that can deeply understand  42 . Each wolf serves its group with its heart and soul. A  43 wolf has little power, but a pack of wolves  44 nothing. All the wolves obey the rules.  45  they are defeated, they run away together. It is their teamwork  46 makes wolves powerful.?
The wolves also have great self-respect and won't  47 to anyone. The writer, who wrote the book “The Wolf Totem”,  48 stole a one-month-old baby wolf and raised it very carefully. To his 49 , he found the little wolf still wanted to go back with  50 wolves. He bit through the iron chain that limited him. The wolf was  51  and he never gave in, fighting  52  his death. The little wolf died as a glorious fighter.?
I was shocked by this kind of  53 : wolves are one of the most respected creatures on earth. I want everyone to look at wolves in a  54 way. They are our teachers. They show us how to survive and  55  in this not simple and dangerous world. Please honor the wolves, please honor all these heroes of nature!
