Cr 5 Read the text below and answer questions 1 to 8. Sled Dog Team Dogs have been used to pull sleds through arctic climates for over a thousand years, especially in Iceland and Alaska. Picking out a sled dog team is not just a matter of finding the most athletic dogs. Each has a specific place on the team based on what it excels at: | ‘The most important dogs on the team are the leader dogs. Placed at the front of the harness, they respond to the musher’s commands at all times. They also set the team's pace. Lead dogs must be alert, confident and intelligent. The swing dogs are positioned directly behind the lead dogs. They direct the team around turns and curves. Swing dogs possess the perfect mixture of speed, endurance and athleticism. | __ The wheel dogs are placed at the back of the formation. They are usually the largest | of the dogs and have the strongest legs because they are the first to take on the weight | of the load being pulled, especially during starts and climbs. Wheel dogs should also be even-tempered as they must withstand the constant slamming of the sled runners | behind them. Questions 1-8 Complete the following table.
