21、   How Smart Is Man’s Best Friend?

We feed them, we let them sleep in our beds, we play with them and we even talk to them. Of course, we love them. Any dog-owner will tell you that their pets (宠物) can understand the world around them. And they’re right. Scientists have found great ways to find out what human’s best friend can do.

The Science of Animal Cognition (认知)

Over the past several years, humans have learnt more about dog cognition with the use of MRI machines to scan dog brains (大脑). In a study done in 2015, Ragen McGowan, a scientist at Nestlé Purina specializing in dog cognition, found that a human’s presence leads to increased blood flow to a dog’s eyes, ears and paws, which means the dog is excited.

McGowan also studied what happened to dogs when they were being petted. We’ve known for some time that for humans, petting a beloved animal can lead to lower rates of stress and worry. Well, it turns out the same is true for dogs. When humans pet dogs for 15 minutes or more, the dog’s heart rate decreases and it becomes less worried.

Another study found that dogs can not only tell the difference between happy and sad human faces, but also respond (回应) differently to them.

As Smart as Children

Dogs, as any dog-owner knows, are highly trainable. Scientists have found that dog intelligence (智商) is similar to that of a two-year-old human child. They also found that dogs could understand up to 250 words and hand signs. Even more surprising, dogs can actually count low numbers (up to five) and even do simple math.

And have you ever experienced the emotions (情绪) of your dog while you’re petting another animal or paying attention to something else? Do you imagine they feel something like human jealousy? Well, there’s science to back this up, too. Studies have found that dogs do, in fact, experience jealousy. Not only that, but dogs do their best to “handle” the thing that’s taking their owner’s attention — and if they have to get the attention back on them, they will.

The studies all make one thing clear: that humans may know much less about dog brains than we previously thought. As time goes on, more and more scientists are becoming interested in animal research, and with each new study done, we find out more about how our beloved pets think.

【1】When humans pet their dogs, ________.

A．dogs become shy

B．dogs respond differently

C．they both become less worried

D．humans have a higher rate of blood flow

【2】From the passage, we know ________.

A．dogs can increase their heart rate and show excitement

B．dogs can be trained to understand words and hand signs

C．scientists suggest dogs should experience human jealousy

D．humans have learnt enough about what dogs can do, think and feel

【3】What is the passage mainly about?

A．How to treat our dogs well.

B．How to train dogs to be smarter.

C．An introduction to dog intelligence and emotion.

D．The differences between dogs’ abilities and human children’s.

22、On my eighth birthday, Dad bought me an accordion(手风琴） and said excitedly, "Once you learn to play, it'll stay with you for life." But I didn't want to play it. I just wanted to play games, But Dad asked me to take accordion lessons.

One day, I found a box in a corner. When I opened it, I saw a beautiful violin. "It was your father's," Mum said. "His parents bought it for him. I guess he got too busy on the farm to learn to play it."

I had to practice half an hour every day, and every day I tried to get out of it. But Dad didn't allow. I asked why. He answered, "Because you can bring people joy. You can touch their hearts." He added softly, "Someday you'll have the chance I never had: you'll play beautiful music for your family. And you'll understand why you've worked so hard." I was speechless.

The lessons stopped after I finished high school. When I grew up, I got married and moved into a new house. I put the accordion in the attic（阁楼）.

23、Long long ago, a king dressed up and went to a local village. He put a large stone in the middle of the main road and hid gold coins under the stone. Then he stayed behind a huge tree and watched.

The first person down the street was a milkman with his car. He crashed into the stone and the milk spread all over the ground. “What fool put this stone here?” he shouted. He picked himself up and angrily went away.

After a while, a group of women came along, each balancing a pot of water on her head. One woman tripped over（绊倒）the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground. She picked herself up and walked away in tears. She and her friends didn't think about moving the stone out of the road.

The king watched all day as many people complained about the stone, but he found nobody was pleased to move it. The king wanted to know, “Is there no one in this village who feels any responsibility（责任）to keep their neighbors from harm?”

Just then, the king saw a young girl coming along. She was the daughter of a local farmer. She worked all day and was very tired.But when she saw the stone, she said to herself, “This stone is a danger to anyone who comes down the road after dark, I’ll move it out of the way.”

After a lot of effort, the girl finally succeeded in moving the stone to the side of the road. Imagine her surprise when she saw the gold coins under the stone!

Just then, the king came out from behind the tree. “Oh, sir,” the girl said, “Is this gold yours? If not, we surely must find the owner, for he or she will certainty miss it.”

The king said, “My dear, the gold is mine, but now the gold is yours, because you are the only person that has learned the lesson I want to teach my people. Nothing good can come to a nation whose people only complain and expect others to solve their problems.”
