Wolves live in family groups .Usually, a wolf can have four to six pups at one time . Their first home can be a small cave or a hole dug in the ground. I t must be big enough to shelter the mother and the pups from other and protect the pups from other animals that may want to hurt them .

Pups grow inside their mother for about 63 days before they are born. At birth, they weigh only one pound, and their eyes are closed. Pups grow quickly. About three weeks after they are born, they come out of the home for the first time. At first, they live only on milk from their mother. By three weeks of age, they start eating meat. Since pups are too young to hunt, adult wolves bring meat to them. Any pup who is less fierce than his or her brothers and sisters gets less food. If pups keep asking for food, adult wolves may warn then to stop.

All the wolves in the group help take care of the pups. When the pups are very small, other group members bring food to the mother, so she does not have to leave the home. When the pups are a little larger, group members take turns bringing them food, playing with them and even baby-sitting.

Wolf pups love to play. The pups will play with each other and their older brothers and sisters. This type of play will help them all their lives,. It helps them to learn to kill and get together with other members . Pups will also play with “toys” like bones or the skins of dead animals.

This letter was sent to a newspaper in Germany.

13 October

Dear Editor,

I am writing to ask what has happened to our young people. They are not as polite, hard-working or clever as we used to be. I will give you two examples.

Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9:15 am. It was so busy that there were no free __80__. There were some teenagers sitting on the seats nearest me, I don’t know why they were not at school. They were talking __81__and laughing. It was difficult to read my newspaper with all the noise. A heavily pregnant （怀孕的）woman and her daughter got on at the next stop, carrying lots of shopping bags. I__82___the teenagers to let them sit down. They saw the woman but did nothing. I had to ask them to give her seat. They did so but gave me a __83__look. I got off at the next stop and was glad the teenagers didn’t follow me.

Last Saturday, I had dinner with my friend’s family. I was looking forward to meeting his children. During din ner, we started talking about __84___. It soon become clear that they knew so little. They couldn’t tell me the name of the King of Spain or the President of Italy. All they knew about was the Internet and which singers were the most beautiful. In my day, students knew the kings, queens and presidents of every country in Europe.

I am __85___the future of Germany. How could these young people become responsible workers and parents? They sit around McDonald’s after school instead of going to the library like I did at their age. Maybe the h ave too much money.

III. Listen to the passage and tell whether the following statements are true or false (判断下列句子是否符合你听到的短文内容，符合的用“T”表示，不符合的用“F”表示)

Mast people collect things at some time in their life. Who hasn' t got a collection of photos, or books? Many people collect the letters ore- mails they've got from friends. And most children have a good toy collection. Most people don't think of themselves "collectors" because they think that having a lot of photos or toys is part of life. However, there are some people who love collecting things as a hobby. You can collect anything, from stamps to toys to football match tickets to old photos. In fact, some people have amazing collections.

For example, the Englishman Robert collects things we usually throw away, things like old newspapers, sweet papers and boxes. He has more than a quarter of a million things in his collection and you can find some of them in his own museum in UK.

When Stuart Graham from Sydney, Australia died at the age of 87, he left behind some interesting collections. His son Andy only discovered his father was a keen collector when he found a collection of over 5,000 old bus tickets, 3,000 old matchboxes and 1,000 toy soldiers. Andy did not want to keep these collections and decided to look on the Internet to see if anyone else would like the collections. He was surprised to find out that his father's collections could sell for a large sum of money and when he sold them, he bought a new car with the money.

Collectors collect things in different ways. You can go to shops or markets to buy things for your collection. You can even look on the Internet at sites such as E-bay.
