1．Howling is a behavior commonly observed among a wolf nark．An animals，wolves work together to hunt and rely on howling was an important means of communication each other．There are different explants of a wolf's howl and it appears that there may be more to discover．One theory is that wolves howl to bend better together．It's almost as if howling together helps the pack stay together．Perhaps something similar to people feeling a sense of involvement with each other when singing a song together．But this theory may be wrong，explains Fred H．Harington，a professor who studies wolf behavior．Indeed，there have been tines when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a exhorts，and the next，quarreling anions each other．It appears that usually the lowest-tanking menthes of the pack may actually be"punished"for
Joining in the churs at times．So is howling a way to strcagthen a social boad or just a way to reconfirm status among its members？--Why do welves howl for sure？
What is cleat，however，is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each other．Hunting grounds are distant and it happens that woloves may separate from one another at times．When this happens，howling appcars to be an ercellent means of gathering．
Howling，interestingly，is a contagious behaviour．When one wolf starts to howl，very likely others will follow．This is often seen to occat in the morning，as if wolves were doing some sotr of"roll rall"where wolves all howl togeter to howl，very likely others will follow．This is often seen to occar in the morning，as if wolves were doing w some sotr of"roll call"where wolves all howl together to repotr their pteence．

1．Chicago
Chicago is an incredible city and a key business center for the Midwest．That means that sooner or later most business travelers （25）will find（find） themselves there．This City Guide for Chicago provides business travelers with all the information they need （26）toplan（plan） a successful trip to Chicago．Of course，it also help you find out how to enjoy （27）yourself/yourselves while you're there．
Unless you're just in Chicago for the day，there's a good chance that you'll have some time after work to explore the sleepless city and （28）that you're ready to take a break from business meetings or simply want to throw in some sightseeing after a busy week at work．（29）In order to help business travelers plan their free time better，we've created this overview of things to do in Chicago．We'll help you feel at home in one of America's biggest cities．
If you're mainly going to be downtown，the buses and trains and taxis can pretty quickly move you around．To make it easy，we've pulled together a complete list of the transportation options for business travelers to Chicago．Of course，business travelers （30）may also want to compare prices on rental cars in Chicago，especially if they need transportation to the surrounding suburbs．
Chicago has a huge range of dining options．You can always get some real comfort food there，but when it comes to business lunches or dinners，it's nice to have something a little （31）nicer（nice）．
Chicago is a wonderful city for business travelers．Hotel options range from ultra-fancy in town to cheap and convenient in the suburbs．While it's relatively easy to move around Chicago，it's still a good idea for business travelers to know （32）where they need to be during the day and to select a hotel nearby．Alternatively，you can select a hotel that's in the heart of the downtown area．
