32、roblems from divorce can stay for many years. They can show up when the kids are adults. As adults the kids have trouble.Wallerstein studied 93 children over a generation. The results can only be found in her book.She says children of divorce are more likely to have problems with drugs. They are far
33、 more likely to seek therapy. About 40-percent of them do not marry. Their marriages fail at nearly twice the usual rate. It is hard for them to trust.

34、does not compare kids from divorced families with kids from “healthy“ families.Wallersteins families divorced a generation ago. Times have changed. People feel different about divorce.

Wild dogs are fairly small, averaging seventy pounds, with round, fanlike ears that look too big for their heads. They have shaggy bro
39、wn coats with scattered patches of white. One of these animals by itself looks harmless or even comical. But when they band together, in packs of up to forty, the wild dogs become dangerous predators that tirelessly run down and kill animals that are many times their own size.Wild dogs have to be go
40、od hunters in order to feed their large families; a single female can have as many as sixteen pups at a time. But usually only one female in a pack breeds at a time, and all the pack members help to care for the young. At first, the pups feed on their mothers milk. Then the other dogs begin to bring
41、 back meat from the kill, carrying it in their stomachs and throwing it up when the pups come running to them to beg for food. Finally, the young dogs begin to go along on hunts. At this time one of the most striking differences between wild dogs and lions can be seen. When a pride of lions makes a
42、kill, the adult males always eat their fill first. But the wild dogs let the pups feed first, even when they are still too young to really help in making the kill.52 A good title for this passage would be _.（A）Africas Wild Dogs（B） Killers of the Plains（C） Predators of Africa（D）The Greedy Lion53 Wild
