members gathering at my parents, house that we had saved the best surprise for last. then my brothers rolled a folly restored high-wheel bike into the room. even moms 12 great-grandchildren sat still and quiet as i told them the story behind the bike.almost 100 years ago, a neighbor asked your great-great uncles culver and charles to clean his bam. they were about 14 and 16 at the time. as payment, the neighbor gave them a high-wheel bike that he had bought new in the late 1800s. it had been hanging in the bam for years, and ever since he had injured himself and damaged the bike after trying to ride it. culver and charles took the bike to their elder brother, emest fieldon roberts, who repaired bicycles as a hobby. he fixed it up, and it ended up hanging in his barn. from time to time, his son your great-grandpa ernie - and his friends would ride it around the neighborhood. after ernest sr. passed away, an antique dealer offered $125 for the bike. but ernie kept it instead and brought it home to the hayloft of our big red barn. that was in 1974. through the years, it only left its lofty spot to appear in white hall lions club fourth of july parades.several years ago dad gave the bike to me, and he kept after me to take it out of the bam. “steve,” he said, “with all that straw there, it could bum down.” in july, the month after dad passed away at 91, i finally took the bike out of the bam. i had watched american restoration on the history channel, so i emailed them about the bike. they immediately contacted us and made arrangements for us to take it to rick dales shop in las vegas.then diane (my wife), brandon, megan (our son and daughter) and i drove the bike to las vegas to film the first part of the show on dec. 21, brandon and i flew back to las vegas and filmed the final part with the fully restored bike. they told us it was a high-end cadillac bike in its day. so tonight we honor dads memory with this beautifully restored bike. i plan to

are very social animals that live in prides (狮群). a pride can be composed of up to thirty lions, although most are smaller. each pride has one dominant male as the master of the pride and territory. the weaker males rank above all females. both males and females hunt for the pride and help defend against predators (捕食者).lions are social animals, so after all that sleeping and relaxation, hunting and eating, another important aspect of the lionsj life is communicating. lions communicate with each other through body language, touch, smell and sound. lions from the same pride greet each other by touching their cheeks, necks and bodies.lions have many scent glands (气味腺）on their cheeks, lips, forehead, tail and even between their toes. a lion5 s scent communicates with other lions where they have been and how long ago. they also use scent to attract a mate. lions have an extra smell organ called the jacobsons organ, which is used to smell other cats. in order to use this organ, a lion shuts off its nose, and tastes air through its mouth!lions use many parts of tiieir bodies to communicate their feelings through posturing. their most dangerous weapons are their teeth and the most important body part used to communicate is their face. when lions feel threatened and are scared, they show their weapons, stand on their tiptoes, raise their tails and hunch their backs trying to look as big as possible. the dominant male will walk with his head held high, ears standing upright, mouth closed, and his tail waving from side to side. the other members of the pride will walk with their heads held low, eyes flattened against their heads, mouths open, and teeth showing. a lion is able to notice even the slightest change in posture of another lion.the lions roars are the loudest of all the big cats. because lions are one of the most threatening predators in the wild, they are not scared of being noisy. loud roars help keep kings of different prides away from one another. mothers and their young use the largest variety of calls to communicate because they are the members of the pride that spend the most time together.41. what can we know about the prides of lions?a. they usualfy have a number of less than 30 lions.b. females are as equal as males in the prides.c. males are dominant in hunting food.d. females are superior to weak males.42. meeting with threat and
