Dogs are friends of man. They work for us. They hunt with us. They also play with us. But a long time ago, all over the world, dogs were wild. Dogs can go back to the Stone Age. All dogs had the same ancestor (祖先). It is believed that this ancestor was much like a wolf. Other animals, like fox, also came from this ancestor. Thousands of years ago, man began to tame (使驯服) the wild dogs. When the dogs were tamed, they were trained well. The strong dogs then became working animals. They were trained to pull heavy loads (担子). They learned to keep watching over sheep and other animals. Working dogs could do other things, too. Some dogs were not strong. But they could help man hunt. Other dogs were best at pets. At first, there were only a few kinds of dogs. Today, there are more than 100 kinds.
【小题1】The word “wild” in the first paragraph means ___.

One day a rich man meets Tom. The rich man asks, “People say you are very clever(聪明的) and nothing is difficult(困难的) for you. Can you tell my why you are so clever? ” Tom answers with a smile, “Oh, I’m not clever. Instead(反而) , you are too foolish.” The rich man becomes very very angry.
Tom says, “Sir, please don’t be angry. If you don’t believe me, now let me ask you a very easy question: If you have a group（群）of sheep(绵羊), I send you another group. Then, you say, how many groups of sheep do you have?”
“Why! That’s the easiest question in the world. One and one is two. Anybody knows that. I have two groups of sheep , of course.”
Tom laughs and says, “You are wrong , Sir. Two groups of sheep put together is still one group. That’s the easiest question in the world , isn’t it?”
