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.
