Read the text. Then match A to B to make sentences. (10 points) A very interesting phenomenon is happening in the cit y of Moscow, Russia. Dogs are becoming very intelligent. They are more intelligent than dogs in other places! According to a study by the Severtsov nstitute of cology and volution, there are about "#,$$$ dogs in Moscow%s streets. These &street dogs' haven%t got homes, so they must find food and a place to sleep. (nly the cleverest dogs survive, and these survivors are changing. They loo) li)e wolves and they aren%t as friendly as dogs in the past. They have got some new and very unusual s)ills, too. These s)ills help them stay alive. According to the Severtsov study, study, there are four different groups of dogs. (ne group helps the guards in the city and the guards give them food. Another group loo)s for food in the streets. The third group of dogs is the wildest group. They eat mice, rats and cats. The fourth group of dogs is the cleverest group. These dogs ride on the metro and receive food from travellers. Some people are more generous than others and the dogs recognise the difference. They also recognise the different metro stations so they can return &home' at night.
