6 الصفحة امتحان نهاية الفترة الدراسية األولى VI Reading Comprehension and Summary Making ( 40 Marks ) Read the following text, then answer the questions below : Wild dogs are not somebody's domestic dogs that ran away and didn't come back although some people used to think so," explains Dr."Tico" McNutt, who studies these animals at Wild Dog Research Camp in the African country of Botswana. "They are actually Africa's wolf, and they can't be good pets. They need to be out in the wild doing what they are supposed to be doing running for miles every day and hunting to find the food they need to survive and feed pups. In fact, they travel so far that researchers use radio collars to keep track of them. The collars send out radio signals that tell people where the dogs are. African wild dogs are a separate species from domestic dogs. No two wild dogs have the same pattern to their coats, so it is easy to tell them apart. They wander through grasslands, savannas, and woody areas. They hunt gazelles, birds, and rats. They are incredible hunters and can run up to 56 kilometers per hour. African wild dogs are smart and sociable. They enjoy each others' company and live in packs of about six to 20 animals. Both males and females look out for young dogs and make sure they have food. Dr. McNutt was surprised to learn that they like pups so much; they will even take care of orphans that don t belong to them. African wild dogs talk to each other with two common types of calls, says Dr. McNutt. The 'hoo' call is a call that they make when lost or when a pack member is missing. It sounds almost like an owl. The dogs can hear the call two or three miles away and easily find each other. On the other hand, the twitter calls are intended to carry only very short distances, and are used to wake up the pack members and rally them to go hunting. They are very high pitched and sound almost like songbird calls. Lions eat wild dogs, but most of all, African wild dogs are threatened by people. Humans hunt them, and farmers who don t want them go after cows and sheep poison them. Humans are also destroying the wild, natural habitat they need to survive. 6
