24、Science is proving what pet owners have long believed: Dogs understand what we’re feeling. Especially, dogs can recognize(识别) the difference between a happy and an angry human face, a study published on Thursday in Current Biology suggests.

“It’s the first research to show that dogs are sensitive(敏感) to our facial expressions,” says the author Ludwig Huber at the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna.

In the Austrian study, 20 different kinds of pet dogs were taught to play a computer game through a series of exercises. In the first step, the dogs were shown two touch screens, one with a circle and the other with a square. Through the exercises, they learned that a treat would appear if they chose the right one.

Eleven of the 20 dogs were able to catch on to rules of the game and make it to the next test, where they were shown photos of happy and angry faces. The dogs were rewarded if they picked certain expression correctly. During the test, the dogs were shown only the upper half or the lower half of a face.

“It was easier to teach the dogs to choose a happy expression than an angry one, suggesting the dogs do understand the meaning behind the expression,” Huber says.

As a test, the dogs were then presented with:

the same half of the faces they saw during the training, but from different people,

the other half of the faces used in training,

the other half of new faces,

the left half of the faces used in training.

In the cases, the dogs chose the right answer 70 to 100 per cent of the time.

Dogs who had been trained to recognize an expression of anger happiness on the upper part of a face could find the same expression when they were shown only the lower part. Huber says, “The only possible explanation is that they recall from the memory of everyday life how a whole human face looks when happy or angry.”

Dog owners know their pets not only recognize emotions but also understand the feelings.

【1】The passage may come from ________.

A．a news report

B．a science magazine

C．a pet guide

D．a history book

【2】How many dogs in the research could understand the rules of the game?

A．11.

B．20.

C．70.

D．100.

【3】During the test, the dogs were presented with the following faces: ________.

① the other half of some new faces

② the right half of the faces used in training

③ the other half of the faces used in training

④ the same half of the faces they saw but from different people

A．①③④

B．①②③

C．①②④

D．②③④

【4】Why was it easier to teach the dogs to choose a happy expression than an angry one?

A．Because dogs wanted to make a happy expression.

B．Because dogs were rewarded for picking a happy expression.

C．Because dogs saw a happy expression more often from their owners.

D．Because dogs indeed didn’t understand the meaning behind the expression.

【5】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Dog owners know if their pets are happy.

B．Dog owners know how to train their dogs.

C．Dogs can make different facial expressions.

D．Dogs can understand their owners’ feelings.

25、   According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, an international nonprofit (非盈利的) environmental organization, Shenzhen tops all Chinese cities in walking environment. It’s reported that Shenzhen has built a number of parks and greenways in recent years. Now there are about 2,500 kilometres of greenways available for people to enjoy healthy activities.

In order to make greenways that satisfy people, the Shenzhen Greenway Office has set up rest areas, environmental-friendly toilets, signs and so on. At a rest area on the Shatou greenway in Futian District, things like medical kits and drinking water are available for people. “We can stay here to keep out of the rain and have water to drink, which is good,” said a cleaner who often goes there and drinks some of the water. At another rest area on the round-city greenway in Longhua District, people can see many volunteers providing help for others. More places such as nursery rooms (育婴室) and book bars have also been set up there.

A map, called the Shenzhen greenway coverage map, shows the general layout (布局) of the city’s greenways. And each district has one greenway map with information introducing the history and tourist places along the greenway. A woman living in Futian District says that she takes a walk on a greenway every weekend and the greenway map helps her a lot. “It offers a lot of information, such as how long the greenway is and where the toilets are,” she said.

26、If you have a brother or sister, you already know you are different from each other. You live together in the same house and have the same parents, but you have different personalities.

Why is this? One possible reason is the way your parents treat you. First-born children receive all the attention from their parents. Most families have twice as many photos of a first-born than any other child. Parents usually give first-born more responsibility and depend on them to take care of younger brothers and sisters. As a result, first-borns are often responsible, hard-working, and jealous. They often want to do well at school and work. There are more first-born American Presidents, for example, George Bush, George Washington, and Lyndon Baines Johnson-than second or last-born children.

When a second child arrives, parents are more relaxed.  The second child has to compete with the first-born for the parents’ attention and love. Their children often choose different sports and hobbies to do well at school and work, but have to be creative to get their family’s attention. They are often friendly and cool. Many famous talk-show hosts were born last.
