 Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
 In the 1940s, there were an estimated 450,000 lions across Africa, but since then numbers have decreased dramatically to
 around 20,000 today. Reasons include a loss of habitat as the human population has grown, and the trade in lion body
 parts. However, another threat to the lions may soon be a thing of the past.
 In Maasai culture, killing lions has been an important tradition among the men because it shows their physical strength
 and skill. The Maasai also hunt lions when the lions kill their cows. Unfortunately, this has brought the lion population to
 dangerously low levels.
 The Maasai Olympics were born, and manyattas, or villages, from across the region were invited to join in. Since 2012,
 they have held three Maasai Olympics. Young men take part in six running, throwing, and jumping events, which all
 reflect Maasai culture. For example, the javelin competition is similar to the traditional skill of throwing a spear, and the
 high jump is similar to Maasai dancing.
 Including women in the events is very important because the women can influence the men’s behavior. If the women are
 more aware of lion conservation, they can discourage the men from hunting.
 A survey among Maasai men shows that attitudes have changed. Although nineteen percent of the people asked haven’t
 even heard of the Maasai Olympics, the majority of them say that the Games have made them less interested in killing
 lions. And even though trophy hunting still goes on, they see sports as an effective alternative. As one of the athletes said,
 “We used to celebrate lion hunting, but this program has shown us a better celebration.”
 (Adapted from Daniel Barber, 2018)
