【正文】 t there are more wolves than there really are. People have often guessed, after listening to howls, that a pack of wolves contained up to 20 individuals, when there were only 3 or 4. Some people have thought that wolves do that on purpose, in order to fool neighboring packs into believing that there are more animals present than there really are. However, many naturalists and wolf biologists do not accept that idea. Wolves seem to howl for many reasons. They often howl before they go on a hunt, possibly to get the pack together, and they often begin to howl after a successful hunt. That suggests that howling serves to bring a pack together, since wolves often bee separated from each other during a hunt. They do not, however, howl while they are hunting. In addition, a wolf may howl alone if it is having trouble locating its pack. Surprisingly, pack members seem to recognize each other’s voices, since individual wolves often have their own way of howling. Wolves will also howl in sadness after the death of their mates. Wolf packs may also howl to municate with other packs, as two different wolf packs will sometimes answer each other’s howls. Wolves will also often answer the calls of humans who are pretending to howl like wolves. Wolves howl less often during May and June than they do during the rest of the year. This may be because that is the time that packs are most likely to have young pups (幼崽 ) present. It is possible that wolf packs who have young pups present often keep silent so they do not attract attention to their location, since pups can be easily hurt by predators (捕食性動(dòng)物 ) like bears. 32.

Jane, who had pleted a first aid at work course, pulled over to see if she could offer any help — and it turned out to be lucky for the young injured girl that she did. Describing the scene she came across, Jane says: “The onlookers w ere ashenfaced and looking lost. They were so shocked that they hadn’t even thought to call for an ambulance yet.” After speaking to the emergency services, Jane started finding out what had happened and what injuries the young girl called Jenny had. The girl had been hit by a car and gone over the handlebars of her bike, landing on her head and shoulder. Her shoulder and arm were twisted (扭曲 ) underneath her. “She hadn’t been wearing a helmet ( 頭盔 ) when she got knocked down, and I thought that she should not be moved as I couldn’t be sure about a spinal injury (脊椎損傷 ), but after looking her over and checking the circulation in her injured arm I did feel fairly confident that she had escaped relatively unhurt. “As we were waiting for an ambulance, the amount o f pain the girl was in was increasing. To distract (分散注意力 ) her and minimize the risk of her going into shock I kept her talking. She held my hand tightly when the pain got too much and this helped. I told her I could handle it — we laughed about that,” des cribes Jane. Later, a doctor from the local hospital’s ICU stopped at the scene too. The ICU doctor decided that Jenny should lie on her back, making her much more fortable until the emergency services arrived. Thinking back, Jane says: “For me, knowing that in a small
