Reading strategies: Reading to understand feelings
Letters to an advice columnist (n.专栏作家) often describe a problem the writer has strong feelings about, like an important event or an experience the writer cannot forget. Usually, the writer is very honest in writing what he / she thinks and feels. For example, in the first paragraph of the first letter, the writer writes about her feelings, e.g. ‘I feel betrayed by my friend Hannah.’ She goes on to talk about the problem and how it affected her: ‘I felt so ashamed’ and ‘I was so upset that I felt like crying’. By reading the letters, it is possible to find out just how the writer feels about the problem and even think about what advice to give him / her.

Howling is a behavior commonly observed among a wolf pack. As pack animals, wolves work together to hunt and rely on howling was an important means of communication each other. There are different explants 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. Harington, a professor who studies wolf behavior.
Indeed, there have been tines when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a chorus, 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 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.
55. What is the possible similarity between wolves’ howling together and humans’ singing together in chorus?
A. The act of calling each other. B. The sense of accomplishment.
C. The act of hunting for something. D. The sense of belonging

to a group.

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 in the chorus.

C. report the missing ones D. express their loneliness
