1 . I enjoy feeding a colorful group of birds in my garden. On the ground, I put out black—oiled sunflower seeds, broken peanuts, and_______grapes and apples. Some birds respond for their daily_______when I call out the names I’ve given them.

About three years ago, I noticed a newcomer to this festive_______. It was a baby chipmunk(金花鼠), apparently on its own. Over that summer, I watched it _______. The next summer,   the chipmunk was_______, and l wondered whether it would_______me to feed it by hand. I named it Chip.

I decided to adopt the_______I use to persuade wild cats to come close for food:patience, a soft voice, slow gestures and_______.

Before Chip would_______, I’d put down its favorite__________, sunflower seeds, bent down and keep very__________. I’d leave my__________hand in place, unmoving, so the animal would know l wouldn’t__________it. I continued doing this for a few weeks.

Finally, late in that second summer, Chip did__________more trust. One day as I__________a seed in my fingertips, it approached and carefully took the seed into its mouth.

After about two months of this__________, I went further. With my finger, I touched its back__________once. Chip stayed   __________, eating seeds, before rushing into the bushes. Today, the chipmunk comes out of hiding when I call its name, and lets me pet its soft, silky body.

I’ve developed a greater respect for nature and its__________and the opportunity to__________, protect and save wildlife.
