And it wasnt until I met a very bossy person that I understood how they felt!My school was holding a fundraiser (募捐活动) called the Spring Fling Fair, and everyone was going to help out. I was pretty excite
10、d about it. There were lots of committees to choose from, and I chose games and activities, which sounded like fun.But every time we got together, a guy named Peter did the same thing. He never seemed to realize that he was part of a team with three other people.At last, it was the day of the Spring
11、 Fling Fair, and we were all running around getting ready.“You need to make the horseshoes sign hang straighter,” Peter commanded.“Would you please do it yourself?” I said. “Im kind of busy organizing the prizes.”“There are way too many pink balloons on the wall,” Peter complained. “You should add m
12、ore blue ones.”“Feel free to go ahead and add them,” Mike said.The best (or maybe the worst) example of Peters bossiness happened when the Spring Fling Fair finally started.

25、stors of dogs. Another theory is that dogs are the animal cousins of wolves, with dogs and wolves sharing a common ancestor. For this reason, the study of wolf behavior has proven to be helpful in understanding the actions of dogs.Single wolves and small groups of wolves can eat some of their prey (
26、猎物) at a time. In fact, one adult wolf can eat the food that equals 176 quarter-pound hamburgers in a day! However, large prey such as cattle can be more meat than a small group of wolves can consume. Rather than leave the food for other animals, the wolves bury their leftovers (剩余的) and dig them up
27、 the next day for another meal. Dogs follow this behavior when they bury bones.Wolves bark to warn their members of a possible threat.
