21、Why are dogs our best friends? Maybe because they can understand our words much better than we thought, according to a study in Hungary. It found that dogs understand not only what we say, but also how we say it. “The results were very exciting and surprising,” said researcher Attila Andes, from Eotvos Loran University in Budapest.

For the study, the researchers first trained 13 dogs for months. The dogs had to sit quietly inside machines, so that the researchers could check their brain activity. Then the researchers put headphones on dogs and played people’s voices to them. There were four different voices. Some were positive words, such as “well done”, or negative words like “however”. The words were also in different tones（语气）. Some were positive, some were neutral（中立的）and some were negative.

Brain scans（扫描）showed that the dogs could recognize words, as well as the tones of words, much like people do. The positive words with a positive tone brought the strongest activity in their brains’ reward centers（反应中枢）.” It shows that for dogs, a nice phrase can work very well as a prize, but it works best if both words and tones match,” said Andes.

They also found that dogs deal with meaningful words with the left side of the brain and tones with the right. Human brains work in the same way.

Andes said it gave us a new understanding of language. That is to say, not only do humans understand the meanings in words, but also other species do.”

【1】For the study, researchers did all of the following EXCEPT that ________.

A．they made dogs sit inside machines

B．they played with the dogs

C．they scanned the dog’s brain

D．they played people’s voices to the dogs

【2】For both dogs and humans, which side of the brain deals with tones?

A．The left side for both dogs and humans.

B．The left side for dogs and the right side for humans.

C．The right side for both dogs and humans.

D．The right side for dogs and the left side for humans.

【3】What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Dogs are humans’ best friends.

B．Dogs are talented in learning humans’ language.

C．Dogs can understand the meaning and emotion in words.

D．Dogs can also learn human’s language.

23、International travel is popular, but visitors can run into trouble if they don’t know some basic “rules”. So, it’s important to learn about the cultures they’re visiting.

BRAZIL

In general. Brazilian culture is informal (随意的). Most Brazilians are very friendly, so it’s important to greet the people you meet. Women usually kiss on the cheek, but men usually just shake hands. Brazilians usually stand very close to each other while speaking. Even if this is unusual in your culture, try not to move away if it happens. If you go to a business meeting, you are not expected to take a gift.

On the other hand, if you are invited to someone’s house, you should take a gift—like flowers or chocolate. However, don’t take anything purple or black, as these colors have to do with death. If you are invited to dinner, arrive at least 30 minutes late, but always dress well, because a person’s appearance can be very important to Brazilians.

SAUDI ARABIA

Saudi Arabia is a very traditional country. It is important to greet the oldest or the most senior person first. People shake hands in business situations, but men and women do not touch in public. In a business meeting, do not start with business matters at once. Instead, start the conversation by asking about people’s family or health. Arrive on time for business meetings, but don’t be surprised if others are late. Being on time is less important in Saudi Arabia than it is in most western countries. Business dress is formal. Gifts are not expected at business meetings. If you are invited to a Saudi home, acceptable gifts are chocolate or coffee. Be careful not to admire the things the host owns, because he or she’ll feel necessary to give an item to you as a gift.
