A wagging(摇) tail is a form of dog communication. Dogs wag their tell us something about how they’re feeling.

There are probably few people who haven’t seen a dog wagging his tail, and most of the time it’s obvious what the dog is trying to tell you with this kind of body language. It is important, however, that you pay attention to how the dog is holding his tail when he’s wagging it.

Is it relaxed and moving back in forth? Is his body moving along with the wagging? Or is the tail high and moving quickly back and forth while the dog’s body remains fairly erect and stiff (竖直僵硬的)? Where the tail is and the way a dog holds his body while he’s wagging it can give you a clue about what he is trying to communicate.

Most people look at a dog with a wagging tail and assume he is happy. Most of the time this is true, but there are times when a dog wags his tail right before he becomes aggressive. If a dog is wagging his tail and the rest of his body seems relaxed or is moving along with the wagging, you are dealing with a happy and comfortable dog.

If a dog is holding his body erect and stiff while wagging his tail, however, he may be telling you that he’s feeling territorial or uncomfortable with something that is going on around him. In this case, the dog’s tail will be held high and moving back and forth rapidly. This discomfort can be a sign to attack.

This is one reason people sometimes report that a dog was wagging his tail right before he bit someone. So if you come across a dog you don’t know who is wagging his tail, check out what the rest of his body language is telling you before you approach.

1.In what situation do we know a dog is happy?

A. When we have a close look at him.

B. When we try to communicate with him.

C. The dog wags his tail and his body remains relaxed.

D. The dog moves his body along and holds his tail high.

2.A dog’s tail holding high and moving back and forth rapidly shows he may be ________.

A. aggressive B. frightened C. friendly D. relaxed

3.What are people expected to do when meeting a strange dog?

A. Train him to be friendly. B. Judge him by his body language.

C. Ask the owner for help. D. Approach him slowly.

4.What is the best title of this passage?

A. Signs of a Dog’s Bites

B. A Special Communication

C. A Pet Dog — Human’s Friend

D. Dog Feeling Expression —Wagging Tail

A new study says electronic toys are not helping babies learn.

"Even if companies are marketing them as educational, they're not teaching the babies anything at this time," said Anna Sosa the study's author.

Researchers listened to audio(声音的) recordings of parents playing with their babies aged 10 months to 16 months. The researchers compared the experiences when the children played with electronic toys, traditional toys such as blocks, or when the children looked at books. What they found is that parents talked less with their babies when the babies played with electronic toys.

Why is this important? Research shows that how quickly children develop language is often based on what they hear from parents. When the infants played with electronic toys, parents said little to their children. But with traditional toys, such as blocks, parents shared the names and descriptions of the animals, colors and shapes as their children played. There was even more information given by parents as their babies looked at the pictures in books.

Of course, there is no need for parents to throw out electronic toys, but they should look at their infants’ play with such toys as entertainment, not a learning experience.

Toy Industry Association spokeswoman Adrienne Appell responded to the study. She said it is important that parents make time to play with their children. "Playing is a way that kids can learn so much, not only cognitive(认知的) skills, but social and developmental skills," she said. She added that play should be balanced, including time for just "make believe" activities, as well as traditional and electronic toys.

1.What’s Anna Sosa’s attitude towards companies claiming that their toys are educational?

A. supportive B. indifferent C. uninterested D. doubtful

2.We can learn from the text that babies in the research ________.

A. liked traditional toys better than electronic toys

B. interact less with their parents when playing with electronic toys

C. talked little with their parents when playing with electronic toys

D. listened to audio recordings of their parents

3.Children develop language more quickly when their parents ________.

A. read them picture books often B. teach them how to speak

C. buy them a lot of toys D. throw away their electronic toys

4.According to Adrienne Appell, playing ________.

A. can’t take the place of learning

B. shouldn’t take most of children’s time

C. is good to children’s overall development

D. can’t develop children’s cognitive skills

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余项。

Are you planning to study a course from a foreign university? Well, these tips for studying abroad will make you feel at home in a new city.

Learn about the university.

When you decide to study abroad, it is important to research well. 1. Instead, talk to people who have completed their studies from that country. This way you’ll get some real information about the university you’re applying for.

2.

The more you speak to people, the more you’ll end up driving the blues away. Communicating with others will truly be helpful. Not only will it make it easier for you to face personal interviews but also to interact with the local people and fellow students.

Keep a diary.

Most students feel that the time they spent abroad was the best time of their lives. What better way to keep those moments “alive” forever than by writing them down on a diary?3.

Be prepared for adjustments.

When you land up in a country with a culture that’s completely different from yours, chances are that you’ll experience some level of culture shock. 4. Consider your stay abroad as an opportunity to discover a new culture and learn new things.

Know what to do in an emergency.

5. Get the details of the U.S. Embassy, including the phone number, and register (登记)yourself and your family members with the U.S. Embassy. This way you’ll know whom to reach out to in case you’re in an emergency.

A. Ensure you have all the documents.

B. Develop good communication skills.

C. However, don’t let that discourage you.

D. Don’t just follow the advertisements blindly and choose the university.

E. Make sure that you know what to do in the face of emergency.

F. Keep in touch with your friends at home to avoid homesickness.

G. You can write down every little detail of the beautiful time when you study abroad.
