Reading
A. Scientists know that there were wolves on Earth about one million years ago. Dogs, on the other hand, have not been
on Earth nearly as long. The oldest dog remains, found in Germany, are about 14,000 years old. Scientists have proven
that dogs are descended from wolves. Though wolves and dogs share some of the same genes, they are not exactly
alike. In fact, there are as many differences as there are similarities between the two.
First, there are physical differences between the two. Wolves have longer legs, larger feet, and a broader skull than
dogs. They also walk differently than dogs. A wolf runs on its toes with its heels raised up from the ground. This is
more similar to a cat’s walk than a dog’s.
Second, there are mental differences between the two. Dogs have been domesticated. This means that dogs have been
brought under the control of humans in order to provide companionship. Wolves have not been domesticated. They are
wild animals. Having a dog as a pet is like having a juvenile wolf. A young wolf will turn into a mature adult, while a
young dog does not mature. A dog might seem smart by performing tricks for people. Wolves need to be smart to
survive in the wild. While it may not be impossible to have a wolf as a pet, scientists are of the opinion that a wolf
could never be domesticated in the same way as a dog.
It is important to keep in mind that the differences between the two are great, and each should be appreciated in its own
habitat or home.
131. The passage mainly discusses __________
A. the similarities between the wolf and the dog.
B. the differences and similarities between wolves and dogs.
C. the great differences between the wolf and the dog.

A. A dog might be smart enough to perform tricks.
B. A dog walks the same way as a young wolf does.
C. Dogs provide human being with companionship.
D. Dogs share some genes with those of wolves.
134. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned about the wolf?
A. Wolves may not be kept as pets the ways dogs have been.

B. Many people believe that watching television has resulted in lower reading standards in schools. However, the link
between television and printed books is not as simple as that. In many cases, television actually encourages people to
read for example, when a book is turned into a TV series, its sales often go up. One study of this link examined six-
year-old children who were viewing a special series of 15-minute programmes at school. The series was designed to
encourage the love of books, as well as to develop the basic mechanical skills of reading. Each programme is an
animated film of a children's book. The story is read aloud while certain key phrases from the book appear on the
screen, beneath the picture. Whenever a word is read, it is also highlighted on the TV screen.
One finding was that watching these programmes was very important to the children. If anything prevented them from
seeing a programme, they were very disappointed. What's more, they wanted to read the books which the different parts
of the series were based on.
The programmes also gave the children more confidence when looking these books. As a result of their familiarity with
the stories, they would sit in pairs and read the stories aloud to each other. On each occasion, the children showed great
sympathy when discussing a character in a book because they themselves had been moved when watching the character
on TV.
136. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The simple link between television and books. B. The ways of children reading books and watching TV.
C. The advantage of books over television. D. The influence of television on reading books.
137. When does television encourage people to read?
A. When children are watching an animated film on TV.   
B. When a book is made into a TV series.
C. When there are no interesting programs on TV.              
D. When a book appears on the screen.
138. How did children feel when viewing a special series of 15-minute program at school?
A. They felt bored. B. They felt confident.
C. They felt disappointed.                                                D. They felt excited.
139. What kind of film is each program?
A. An educational film.                                                    B. A story film of a children's book.
C. An animated film of a children's book. D. A documentary film of children's life.
140. What advantage did children have from this program?
