He was very cold and was starting to feel tired, but he knew that if he fell asleep in the snow, he would certainly die from the cold.A tree shook ahead. From within the branches(树枝), a pair of yellow eyes watched Daniel. The puma (美洲狮) had been following him. A puma is a large wild cat with claws that could tear Daniel into pieces. But instead of moving in for the kill, the puma walked up to Daniel and lay across his chest, arms and legs. Daniel was too frightened to move, but soon the warmth of the animal reached Daniel and he began to feel better. From time to time, the puma pressed his muzzle (鼻) against Daniel and rocked his head gently. Clearly, the puma knew that Daniel must not fall asleep.

More than 10 million Chinese cultural relics（遗物）have been lost overseas，most of which were stolen and illegally shipped out of China during the times of war before 1949.About 1.67 million pieces are housed in more than 200 museums in 47 countries，which account for 10 percent of all lost Chinese cultural relics，and the rest are in the hands of private collectors. Most of these treasures are owned by museums or private collectors in the United States，Japan，some European countries and Southeast Asian countries.There are more than 23，000 pieces in the British Museum，most of which were stolen or bought for pennies more than 100 years ago. The major method of recovering these national treasures is to buy them back.In some cases，private collectors donated the relics to the government.Also the government can turn to official channels（渠道）to demand the return of the relics.
