Who needs guard dogs when you have wolves, right? That's probably what Kazakh villagers in the Almaty region thought when they decided to replace their dogs with the fierce forest-living beasts. According to local news reports, taming wolves is now the latest trend and a sort of hobby among rural Kazakhs.

 “You can buy a wolf cub for just $500, they say, and hunters are determined that if treated well, the wild animal can be tamed,” the KTK television channel reported. Nurseit Zhylkyshybay, a farmer from the south-eastern Almaty region, told reporters that he purchased a wolf cub from hunters three years ago, and the animal is now perfectly trained

Kurtka, Nurseit's pet wolf, lives in the family's yard and takes long walks through the village with his master. Nurseit insisted. “I rarely put him on a chain and do take him for regular walks around the village. Our family and neighbors aren’t scared of him at all. If the wolf is well fed and cared for, he won’t attack you, although he does eat a lot more than a dog.”

But wolf expert Almas Zhaparov said that the animals are ‘far too dangerous’ to keep at home. “A wolf is like a ticking bomb, it can go off at any moment,” he warned. “If nothing is done, the fashion could spread to the wealthy Kazakhs, who might try to keep wolves in the grounds of their houses, with possibly deadly results.” Social media users also expressed anxiety over the trend, accusing the government for failing to limit the practice.

Nevertheless, the wolves don’t seem to be posing an immediate threat. If visuals from news reports are anything to go by, the beasts look pretty happy with their new lifestyle, and appear quite fond of their new masters, not unlike dogs.

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard of domesticated wolves former Soviet Union countries. A few months ago, we wrote about a Belarusian family that has managed to train a pack of wild wolves and are now raising them as pets.

    A city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice is such a city.

    Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn't built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.

    Even so, travel isn't difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go.  People in Venice move from place to place by boat.

    Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences. One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there's nothing special. But when they come back to the bridge an hour later, it's underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes.

    Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋) melt (融化). Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.

    Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government has asked some of Italy's biggest companies to build the MOST project, which was planned to be build under the seawater to stop the rising water. Anyway, this project is helping solve the problem.

  1. (1) Which is the best way to travel in Venice?
    A . The waterways. B . Taxis and cars. C . 400 bridges. D . Boats and rain shoes.
  2. (2) What doesn't cause Venice to get lower and lower?
    A . The ice of the Arctic Ocean melt. B . Seawater is everywhere around the city. C . People used too much underground water D . The temperature has become higher over the years.
  3. (3) What can we infer from the last passage?
    A . Venice is sure to stop getting lower. B . High waters won't hit Venice any more. C . Scientists can solve the problems easily. D . Some possible ways help to solve the problem.
  4. (4) What's the best title of this passage?
    A . The History of Venice B . The MOST Project of Venice. C . The Places of Interest of Venice D . The Specials and Problems of Venice
