25、   A new study shows that negative ( 消极的) punishments to dogs while training can bring long-term bad effects to the animal. The latest study paid attention to some dogs for humans. Such dogs are often thought of as part of the family and need training on how to behave around people.

Researchers from Portugual’s University of Porto led the study. The researchers carried out experiments including two kinds of dog training methods — reward-based and aversive( 令人厌恶的). Reward-based methods include giving the dog food or praise when the animal completes wanted behavior. Aversive methods depend on the use of some kinds of negative actions, such as shouting, pushing or pulling the dog to let it do something.

The study included 92 dogs. 42 of them got reward-based training and the others received aversive training. Researchers did these experiments to find both short-term and long-term effects of the two training methods.

Researchers recorded the training. They reported that dogs from the aversive training group have more stress-related behavior than those in the reward-based group. It clearly shows the short-term effects of aversive training methods.

In order to find the long-term effects, the dogs took part in an exercise for about a month after the training. The dogs were put in a room with food bowls. Researchers looked at how quickly and excitedly the dogs went to the bowls. The researchers reported that after getting aversive training, the dogs were more “pessimistic (悲观的)” in behavior than those getting reward-based training.

27、   Dec.27, 2019 was an exciting day for Chinese people. China's biggest and most powerful carrier rocket, the Long March 5, was successfully launched(发射)in Hainan that day.

The 57-meter-tall rocket is the tallest, strongest and the most technologically difficult rocket in China. Because the Long March 5 is much bigger than other rockets in the Long March series(系列), it has been given a funny name "Chubby 5".

The rocket is able to carry spacecraft(宇宙飞船)to low-earth orbit(近地轨道). The spacecraft weighs up to 25 tons-nearly the weight of 16 midsize cars. The payload capacity(有效负载能力)of the Long March 5 is about 1.5 greater than any other Chinese rocket.

During the December launch, the Long March 5 successfully sent the Shijian 20 experimental satellite(卫星), China's largest and heaviest homemade satellite, into orbit.

Besides sending the satellite into space, the launch also tested several engineering technologies that were used to improve the rocket's design. It also tested key technologies that will be used to take the Chang'e 5 probe(探测器)to the moon.

In the future, the Long March 5 will be used for China's fifth lunar expedition(探月), as well as to place parts of China's manned(载人的)space station into orbit. "In 2020, we will use the Long March 5 to launch the Chang'e 5 probe to the moon and also send a probe to Mars," said Wang Xiaojun, a project manager of the Long March 5.
