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 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 one 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 indeed 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 percent of the time.
Dogs who had been trained to recognize an expression of anger or happiness on the upper part of a face could find the same expression when shown only the lower part. Huber says, "The only possible explanation is that they recall from 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 pets 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 .
①the other half of some new faces
②the right half of the faces used in training
③the other half of the faces used in training
④the 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 expressions.
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.

Parents of very young children know this: You catch your child in the act of stealing the cookie--the evidence of candy written on his or her face. However, you get a wide-eyed denial:”I didn’t do it!”
Learning to tell the truth, even at the risk of punishment, is an important part of moral (道德) development, and new research suggests it can take seven or more years for kids to get there.
Early 2017 Professor Craig E.Smith published a study. He and his workmates chose 48 children between four and nine years of age. They told the kids a story about a boy or girl doing something wrong, such as taking a classmate’s toy or candy, and then either lying about the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing (承认) it. In each case, they asked the children, How would the child feel? How would the mother feel?
The children’s answers answers were generally divided according to age, which is in agreement with the stolen candy, lying and getting unpunished. They imagined the parent in the study would be angry with the child who confessed. However, the seven-to-nine-year-olds were more likely (可能的) to think the child would feel better confessing the crime and that the parent would have positive (积极的) feelings towards a confessor.
Smith says,”Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a child’s confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie. Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action.” He adds, what parents can learn from these studies is to listen calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses.
1.What does the underlined word “denial” in Paragragh 1 mean?
A. 委屈 B. 责备 C. 否认 D. 拒绝
2.Paragragh 2 mainly tell us _________.
A. kids can’t tell “right” from “wrong”
B. it takes time for kids to learn to tell the truth
C. it’s wrong to punish kids for telling the truth
D. all the kids are willing to confess to a bad act
3.What did Smith and his workmates find in their study?
A. Older kids are more likely than younger children to confess to a bad act.
B. Younger children are more likely than older kids to confess to a bad act.
C. The four-to-five-year-olds would feel better confessing the crime
D. The seven-to-nine-year-olds thought parents would be angry with their confessions.
4.According to Professor Smith, what can parents learn from these studies?
A. Parents should at once punish the children who lied.
B. Parents should tell children the wrongness of lying.
C. Parents should never get angry after their children’s confessions.
D. Parents should show positive feeling about their children’s confessions.
