A
Dogs may actually understand what their owners are trying to say, according to a new study.
Moreover, when dogs listen to someone talking, they may use brain regions that are equal to those that humans use to understand what others say, the researchers found.
In other words, the new study shows that the brain mechanisms(结构）involved in the process of understanding human speech are similar in dogs and humans. This means that the brain mechanisms involved in understanding human speech are not unique to humans.
To convey information through speech, people use both words and intonation (语调）, which is the way a person's voice rises and falls to express an emotion or meaning, such as praise or disapproval. Similarly, to understand what someone is trying to say, people have to pay attention to both their words and their intonation.
In the study, the researchers wanted to see whether dogs also pay attention to both words and intonation when trying to understand what a human is trying to say to them.
To conduct the study, the researchers looked at 13 dogs. The researchers measured the dogs’ brain activity with a brain scanner while the dogs listened to recordings of their trainers speaking different combinations of words and intonations.
The researchers found that the dogs paid attention to both the words and intonation when trying to understand human speech, just as humans do when they try to understand human speech. This finding means that dogs may understand both the words and the intonation that humans use when they talk to dogs.
The brain scans also suggested that the dogs used the left parts of their brains while trying lo understand words hut used the right parts of their brains while trying to understand intonation. Similarly, humans use the left parts of their brains while trying to understand the meanings of words and the right parts of their brains while trying to understand intonation.
1、What is the best title for the passage?
A．Your Dog Understands What You’re Saying
B．A Big Challenge to Human Beings
C．Our Best Friends—Dogs
D．The Dogs in the Future
2、What do people use to convey information through speech?
A．Emotion or meaning. B．Voice rising and falling.
C．Words and intonation. D．Praise or disapproval.
3、What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Dogs are the cleverest animals.
B．It is generally believed that the brain mechanisms involved in understanding human speech are unique to humans.
C．With the brain mechanisms like human's, dogs can speak as human do in the near future.
D．Dogs are also good al learning languages.

Aleksandra Naranowicz has gone from cleaning floors to taking to the catwalk after an international agency signed her up on the recommendation.
Aleksandra Naranowicz, 27, struggled to find work after moving to England from Poland despite an impressive resume and a master’s degree.
She made ends meet with a modest £250-a-week job when she did her previous work, but her luck changed when one of her clients referred her to a London modeling agent. They told Aleksandra she had the figure and looks of a model.
She has already starred in a string of adverts and catwalk shows and is earning up to £2,000 a shoot.
Aleksandra said, “People said I had a pretty face and that I’d be good as a model. This gave me the confidence to meet modeling agencies in London.”
Aleksandra left Poland with a Master’s degree in Pedagogy—the science and art of education and moved to Bristol. She took a job with local cleaning firm Mopp and one of her clients, retired media mogul（显要人物）, told her “with bone structure like that you should be on a catwalk not cleaning my kitchen floor”.
She spent the next few months cleaning floors to save the money to go to castings in London and was signed up by PRM, which is a leading model management company. She now works as a full-time model and has done countless shoots, specializing in hair magazines and adverts.
Mopp founder Pete Dowds said, “We’re delighted to have been a part of helping Aleksandra with her career. She was a brilliant addition to Mopp’s Bristol cleaning team so we’re sorry to lose her but no doubt she’ll ‘clean up’ in the fashion world in no time.”
1、What did Aleksandra Naranowicz do before she became a model?
A．A teacher. B．A cleaner.
C．A boss. D．A reporter.
2、Why did Aleksandra Naranowicz quit her previous job?
A．She hated her previous job. B．She possessed a master’s degree.
C．She dreamed of becoming a model. D．She was encouraged by her clients.
3、From the text, we know Mopp is .
A．a model management firm B．a cleaning firm in Bristol
C．a leading media company D．a model training centre
4、The underlined words “clean up” in the last paragraph can be replaced by .
A．take off B．end up
C．pick up D．turn up

Show yourself loving concern about your health and daily life. 17 you know perfectly well when and how to do yourself a favor, you won’t be confident and ready enough to 18 the attack of illness. As you are aware, what a person physically has is but a human body that’s vulnerable when 19 to the elements. So if you fall ill, it's up to you to take a good care of yourself.
