21、ing the next several weeks I went completely to the wolves. I took a tiny tent and set it up on the shore of bay. The big telescope was set up in the mouth of the tent in such a way that I could observe the wolves day and night. Quite by accident I had pitched my tent within ten yards of one of the

22、major paths used by the wolves. Shortly after I had taken up residence, one of the wolves came back and discovered me and my tent, but he did not stop or hesitate in his pace.

24、ize my existence. One evening, after they had gone off for their regular nightly hunt, I marked out a property claim of my own, including a long section of the wolves path. In order to ensure that my claim would not be overlooked, I made a property mark on stones, dumps of moss, and patches of veget

25、ation with a lot of tea. Before the hunters came back, task was done, and I retired, somewhat exhausted, to observe results. A few minutes later the leading male appeared.

26、 stopped as abruptly as if he had run into an invisible wall. Cautiously he extended his nose and sniffed at one of my marked bushes. After a minute of hesitation he backed away a few yards and sat down. Then, he looked directly at the tent and at me. His glare seemed to become fiercer as I attempte

27、d to stare him down. The situation was becoming intolerable. To break the impasse（僵局） I turned my back on the wolf. Then quickly, and with an air of decision, he turned his attention away from me and began a systematic tour of the area I had marked out as my own. As he came to each boundary marker h

28、e sniffed it once or twice, then carefully placed his mark on the outside of mine. 31. The author is very likely to be a _.A. hunter B. biologist C. journalist D. traveler32.

Today, a large number of families in Great Britain buy furniture, household goods and cars by install

33、ments. In the U.S., the figure is much higher than in Great Britain, and people there spend over 10 percent of their income on the installment plan. The price of an article bought on installments is always higher than the price that would be paid by cash. There is a charge for interest. The buyer pa

34、ys one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment when the goods are delivered to him. He then makes regular payments, weekly or monthly, until the full price is paid up. The legal ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been made.Installment buying has ad
