Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
Scientists know that there were wolves on Earth about one million years ago. Dogs, on the other hand, have
not been on Earth nearly as long. The oldest dog remains, found in Germany, are about 14,000 years old.
Scientists have proven that dogs are descended from wolves. Though wolves and dogs share some of the
same genes, they are not exactly alike. In fact, there are as many differences as there are similarities between
the two.
First, there are physical differences between the two. Wolves have longer legs, larger feet, and a broader skull
than dogs. They also walk differently from dogs. A wolf runs on its toes with its heels raised up from the
ground. This is more similar to a cat’s walk than a dogs.
Second, there are mental differences between the two. Dogs have been domesticated. This means that dogs
have been brought under the control of humans in order to provide companionship. Wolves have not been
domesticated. They are wild animals. Having a dog as a pet is like having a juvenile wolf. A young wolf will turn
into a mature adult, while a young dog does not mature. A dog might seem smart by performing tricks for
people. Wolves need to be smart to survive in the wild. While it may not be impossible to have a wolf as a pet,
scientists are of the opinion that a wolf could never be domesticated in the same way as a dog.
It’s important to keep in mind that the differences between the two are great, and each should be
appreciated in its own habitat or home.
