Our family and neighbors aren’t scared of him at all.”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 consequences.” Social media users also expressed worry about the trend, accusing the government for failing to limit the practice.Nevertheless, the wolves don’t seem to be posing an immediate threat.

Sixty editors from the Oxford University Press and its partner in China—the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press worked together on the project. According to Julie Kleeman, the dictionary’s chief editor, most of the firm’s editors were Chinese, while about one fourth were native-English speakers．“We don’t want to make it florid（绚丽的）, we want it to be modern and conversational. Many of the words in the present dictionary are no longer in use.” said Kleeman. “The need for studying Chinese by foreigners today is totally different from decades ago. Precise, native and practical—that is our main advantage,” she said. She added the dictionary also has a sidebar section that explains words which contain too much cultural information, like “hutong”, a traditional architecture style of Beijing. Another would be “youtian”the popular Chinese breakfast choice usually eaten with soybean milk.Kleeman said in the future newer updated versions will be only available online as language often changes too quickly for book versions to keep up with. The online version will also offer a Chinese pronunciation guide．The online version, allowing access via different platforms from the PC to the iPhones, will be ready “as soon as possible”, Kleeman said.32. Why will Oxford Dictionary include popular new Chinese terms?A. To attract those who want to get a better understanding of Chinese.B. To develop the international working language, English.C. To keep up with the development of the world economy.D. To interest people and sell at a higher price.33.

The newer updated versions will be only available online because______.A. book versions are too expensive to buyB. book versions can’t offer a Chinese pronunciation guideC. they can keep up with the quickly changing languageD. they will allow access in different languages35.
