wolves work together to hunt and rely on howling as an important means of communication among
each other. There"re different explanations of a wolf"s howl and it appears that there may be more to
discover．
One theory is that wolves howl to bond better together. It"s almost as if howling together helps
the pack stay together. Perhaps something similar to people feeling a sense of involvement with each
other when singing a song together. But this theory may be wrong, explains Fred H. Harrington, a
professor who studies wolf behavior.
Indeed, there have been times when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a chorus(合唱),
and the next, quarreling among each other. It appears that usually the lowest-ranking members of the
pack may actually be "punished" for joining in the chorus at times. So is howling a way to strengthen
a social bond or just a way to reconfirm status (地位) among its members? Why do wolves howl
for sure?
What is clear, however, is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each other.
Hunting grounds are distant and it happens that wolves may separate from one another at times. When
this happens, howling appears to be an excellent means of gathering.
Howling, interestingly, is a contagious behavior. When one wolf starts to howl, very likely others
will follow. This is often seen to occur in the morning, as if wolves were doing some sort of "roll call"
where wolves all howl together to report their presence.
B. The sense of accomplishment．
C. The act of hunting for something．
D. The sense of belonging to a group．
B. Wolves tend to protect their hunting grounds．
C. Wolves sometimes have quarrels after howling together．
D. Wolves of low rank are encouraged to join in the chorus．
B. find their companions
C. report the missing ones
D. express their loneliness
B. howling is a way of communication
C. howling often occurs in the morning
D. howling spreads from one to another

in an office, a factory, or some other place away from the home. Since the man earned the money, they
paid the bills. The money was used for food, clothes, the house, and other family needs, the man made
most of the decisions. He was the boss.
In the traditional marriage, the woman seldom worked away from the house. She stayed at home to
care for the children and her husband. She cooked meals, cleaned the house, washed the clothes, and
did other housework. Her job at home was very important.
In recent years, many couples continues to have a traditional relationship of the kind of man who has
a job and earns the money for the family. The woman stays at home and cares for the children and the
house. Many American are happy with the kind of marriage. But some other Americans have a different
impression of marriage and family responsibilities
There are tw
o important differences in ma
le and female roles now. One is that both men and women have to stay at home. Both men and women may choose roles that are comfortable for them.
The second difference in male and female roles is that within marriage many decisions and
responsibilities are shared. The husband and wife may choose to have children, or they may not. If they
have children, the man takes care of them some of the time, all of the time or not at all. The woman may
want to stay at home and take care of the children, or she may want to go to work. Men and women
now decide these things together in a marriage. Many married people now share these decisions and
responsibilities of their families.

to their birthplace, but they"ll also be entering a new period of Olympic history.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has been looking for ways to make the world"s largest
sporting event a bit smaller and easier for cities to host. Mexico is the only Latin American nation to have
hosted the Olympics. And the games have never been held in Africa.
It costs well over $4 billion to host the Olympic Games. And this is stopping many poorer countries
from trying to win the bid. Cities in Africa and Latin America, with great social and money problems,
cannot even begin to make the bid.
So, the IOC has suggested 117 ways to make the Games smaller and easier for cities across the world. These ideas are to be put into practice soon---maybe in time for the Beijing 2008 Olympics. The IOC
wants to save up to $400 million.
The suggestions include limiting the number of sports to 28 and the number of athletes to 10,500.
"Imagine a bus with 28 seats and some sports need to get off to give their places to other sports,"
said an IOC official. Sports that might not appear in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games included baseball,
softball and the modern pentathlon(五项全能)(shooting, fencing, horse, jumping, swimming and running).
"We think that the Olympic Games have to be made smaller, and the less costly so that they can be
organized by all continents and subcontinents(次大陆)," said IOC president Jacques Rogge." Our
dream is that a continent such as Africa will be able to organize the Olympic Games."
B. The Olympic Games have to increase the number of sports.
C. The Olympic games have to increase the number of athletes.
D. The Olympic Games have to enlarge their global attraction.
B. America
C. Europe
D. Africa
B. baseball, softball and volleyball
C. softball, baseball and the modern pentathlon
D. softball, fencing and pentathlon
B. make many poorer countries be able to organize the Olympics.
C. increase the events of the Athens Olympic Games
D. make Athens enter a new period of Olympic history

that Napoleon was a major influence. The French had used the right since at least the late 18th century.
Some say that before the French Revolution, noblemen drove their carriages on the left, forcing the
peasants to the right. Regardless of the origin, Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he
conquered, including Russia, Switzerland and Germany. Hitler, in turn, ordered right-hand traffic in
Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s. Nations that escaped right-hand control, like Great Britain,
followed their left-hand tradition.
The U.S. has not always been a nation of right-hand rivers; earlier in its history, carriage and horse
traffic traveled on the left, as it did in England. But by the late 1700s, people driving large wagons
pulled by several pairs of horses began promoting a shift to the right. A driver would sit on the rear
(后面的) left horse in order to wave his whip with his right hand; to see opposite traffic clearly, they
traveled on the right.
One of the final moves to firmly standardize traffic directions in the U.S. occurred in the 20th
century, when Henry Ford decided to mass-produce his cars with controls on the left (one reason,
stated in 1908; the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge, especially...if there is
a lady to be considered). Once these rules were set, many countries eventually adjusted to the
right-hand standard, including Canada in the 1920s, Sweden in 1967 and Burma in 1970. The
U.K. and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the western world"s few remaining
holdouts. Several Asian countries, including Japan, use the left as well-thought many places use
both right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive cars.
B. Rich people enjoyed driving their carriages on the right.
C. Napoleon introduced the right-hand traffic to this country.
D. Hitler ordered them to go to against their left-hand tradition.
B. England

D. though many countries were strongly against that
B. People in Britain and the U.S. travel on the same side nowadays.
C. The Burmese began to travel on the right in 1970.
D. All the Asian nations use the left at present.
B. How cars have become a popular means of transportation?
C. How Henry Ford produced his cars with controls on the left?
D. Why don"t people all drive on the same side of the road?
