heart happy be write in slow they example colour because
(2024·乐山改编)I can still remember my primary school homework on animals. I decided to 26. write about the whales. I have loved them from a young age.
I'm not quite sure why I love them. It might be something about 27. their shape. They have a smooth shape,and their tails look like a heart. They also move so 28. slowly and beautifully, like a tree dancing in the wind. This way, they seem very clever.
So,of course,one of my best memories 29. was when I got to see a type of whale called the Southern Right Whale in Argentina. Watching them moving smoothly in the water,I felt 30. happier than ever. They were so beautiful!
And I'm not the only one who loves whales. Different people across the world have a special place for whales in their 31. heart(s). Take the Maori people in New Zealand as a(n)32. example. Living by the ocean,they see whales as guardians(守护者)of the ocean and talk about them a lot in their 33. colourful stories.
Why was I interested in whales like the Maori people? 34. Because they need our protection. That's what my school homework was about—animals we need to protect. Whales play a big role 35. in the ocean. So,protecting whales means protecting the whole ocean.

答案： 26. write 27. their 28. slowly 29. was 30. happier 31. heart(s) 32. example 33. colourful 34. Because 35. in
