Each year, people spend billions of dollars on their four-legged pals, making sure the lovable dogs have enough food to eat and lots of toys to play with.Dogs love people, too. They lick their faces, protect their homes. Where did these four-legged companions come from? Some scientists believe that they have found the answer.Scientists have long known that dogs evolved from wolves. Exactly when the transformation from wolf to dog actually took place, however, remains a mystery.Some said dogs evolved as a separate species 5,000 years ago in two parts of the world. One group of dogs developed in Europe and Asia from Asian wolves. The other group evolved in North, Central, and South America from American wolves.Now researchers say those theories are wrong. New studies suggest that domesticated dogs first appeared ,000 years ago in eastern Asia. Scientists also say that every modern dog descended from approximately five female Asian wolves, the mother of all modern dogs.Scientists suspect dogs first set paws in North America by following settlers across a land bridge that once linked northern Asian and North America.According to recent studies, all modern dogs came from female wolves in _.A. Africa B. Asia C. Europe D. South AmericaFrom this passage, we can conclude that _.dogs are scientists best friendsscientists have no idea how dogs evolvedC. most dogs are from Africadogs are more like wolves than they are like any other animalThe underlined word “domesticated” (Para. 5) means “_”.A. intelligent B. indoor C. tamed D. friendlyBPeople who are hit by lightning and survive often have long-term effects. These may include memory loss, sleep disorders, muscle pain and depression.Experts tell people to seek the safety of a building or a hard-top vehicle any time they hear thunder, even if it is not raining. They say lightning can strike as far as sixteen kilometers from any rainfall. Lightning can travel sideways. And at least ten percent of lightning happens without any clouds overhead that you can see.People who are outdoors should make sure they are not the tallest thing around. Bend low to the ground, but do not lie down. And do not stand near a tree or any tall object. Get away from water and anything made of metal. A car is safe, but do not touch any metal inside.Safety experts say people in buildings should stay aw3ay from anything with wires or pipes that lead to the outside. The national Weather Service says if you plan to disconnect any electronic equipment, do so before the storm arrives. Do not use a wired telephone. Do not use water. All these can carry electricity.Some people think a person struck by lightning carries an electrical charge (电荷) afterward. Experts say this is not true. It is safe to begin emergency treatment.Each year about four hundred people in the United States are struck by lightning. Last year forty four people died. The average is close to seventy. The National Weather Service says that is more than the number of people killed by severe storms.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?Lightning can happen even if there is no cloud.Lightning wont do harm to peoples health.Lightning can travel sideways.Lightning can strike very far.W
