    1 Read the text. Then match A to B to make sentences. (10 points)

    A very interesting phenomenon is happening in the city of Moscow, Russia.


    Dogs are becoming very intelligent. They are more intelligent than dogs in other
    places! According to a study by the Severtsov Institute of Ecology and
    Evolution, there are about 35,000 dogs in Moscow’s streets. These “street dogs”
    haven’t got homes, so they must find food and a place to sleep. Only the
    cleverest dogs survive, and these survivors are changing. They look like wolves
    and they aren’t as friendly as dogs in the past. They have got some new and
    very unusual skills, too. These skills help them stay alive.
    According to the Severtsov study, there are four different groups of dogs. One
    group helps the guards in the city and the guards give them food. Another group
    looks 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. The dogs ride on the metro
    from place to place and they receive food from travellers. Some people are
    more generous than others and the dogs can recognise the difference. They can
    also recognise the different metro stations so they can return “home” at night.
