Howling is a behaviour commonly observed among a wolf pack. As pack animals, wolveswork together to hunt and rely on howling as an important means of communication among eachother. There are different explanations of a wolf's howl and it appears that there may be more todiscover.
One theory is that wolves howl to bond better together. It's almost as if hunting together helpsthe pack stay together, Perhaps it is something similar to people feeling a sense of involvementwith each other when singing a song together. But this theory may be wrong, explains Fred H.Harrington, a professor who studies wolf behaviour.
Indeed, there have been times when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a chorusand the next, quarrelling among each other. It appears that usually the lowest-ranking (最低级别的) members of the pack may actually be “punished” for joining the chorus at times. So is howlinga way to strengthen a social bond or just a way to reconfrm status among its members Why onearth do wolves howl
What is clear, however, is that howling is often used among pack mates to locate each otherHunting 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 behaviour. When one wolf starts to howl, very likelyothers will follow. This is often seen to occur in the morning, as if wolves were doing some sort of “roll call” where wolves all how together to report their presence.
What is the possible similarity between wolves' howling together and humans' singing in chorus
The act of calling each other. B. The sense of accornplishment
C. The act of hunting for something. D. The sense of belonging to a group
2. Why does Harrington think the “social bond” theory may be wrong
A. Wolves separate from each other after howling
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 the chorus.
3. According to the researchers, why do wolves often how!
A. To show their ranks. B. To find their companions.
C. To report the missing ones. D. To express their loneliness
4. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean
A. Howling is a signal for hunting B. Howling is a way of communication.
C. Howling often occurs in the moming. D. Howling spreads from one to another
