The school was across the street from our home and I would watch the kids as they   36  during the break. She seemed so small as she,    37   her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. She stood out from them all.     ’

I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing   38   .

But, her study   45  , it doesn't matter if one gets a better treat, only that the distribution is   46  .

The dog study is the latest into several   47  , including cows, horses, cats and sheep, which have   48   that animals are far more self-aware than   49   were thought.

They can   51   simple forms of many emotions we once thought only primates (灵长类) could experience."

In research among   52  , Morris found almost all of them reported   53   behavior by their pets. The dog often tried to get their owner away from a new lover in the early days of a relationship.

Behavior experts recommend owners keeping their dog's   54   as much as possible from a new partner or child . This helps to   55   jealous activity from the dog such as interruptions with barking or whining  (哀嚎).

Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful conditions. Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties· Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.  

Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and coworkers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting（转移注意力）us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support—money aid, material resources, and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.
