Puppy Dog Eyes Are for the Benefits of Humans
Dogs make puppy dog eyes for the benefit of humans and rarely use the pleasing facial
expression when on their own, a new study has shown.
It has long been assumed that animal facial expressions are involuntary and dependent on
emotional state rather than a way to communicate.
But scientists at the University’s Dog Cognition Centre at Portsmouth University have found
that dogs mostly use facial expressions when humans are present, as a direct response to attention.
Puppy dog eyes, in which the ___31___ is raised to make the eyes appear wider and sadder, was
found to be the most ___32___ used expression in the study. Researchers do not know whether the
dogs are aware they look sadder, or have just learned that widening their eyes invites ___33___ and
affection in humans.
Dog cognition expert Dr Juliane Kaminski: “We can now be ___34___ that the production of
facial expressions made by dogs are dependent on the attention state of their audience and are not
just a result of dogs being excited.”
“In our study they produced far more expressions when someone was watching, but seeing
food ___35___ did not have the same effect.”
“The findings appear to support evidence dogs are ___36___ to humans’ attention and that
expressions are ___37___ active attempts to communicate, not simple emotional displays.” The
researchers studied 24 dogs of various breeds, aged one to 12. All were family pets. Each dog was
tied by a lead a metre away from a person, and the dogs’ faces were ___38___ throughout a range
of exchanges, from the person being oriented towards the dog, to being distracted and with her body
turned away from the dog.
第 3 页 / 共 12 页
They found that when a human was not watching the animal, they ___39___ facial expressions.
Dr Kaminski said it is possible that dogs’ expressions have evolved as they were ___40___.
“Domestic dogs have a unique history –they have lived alongside humans for 30,000 years and
during that time selection pressures seem to have acted on dogs’ability to communicate with us, ”she
said.
Ⅲ. Reading comprehension（45 分）
Section A
Directions：For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B,
C, and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
When I was a child of seven years old, my friends, on a holiday, filled my pocket with coppers.
I went at once to a shop where they sold toys for children. Being ___41___ with the sound of a
whistle that I had seen by the way, in the hands of another boy, I handed over all my money for one.
I then came home, and went whistling all over the house, much pleased with my whistle, but
___42___ all the family. My brothers and sisters and cousins, when I told of the ___43___ I had
made, said I had given four times as much as the whistle was worth. They put me in mind of what
good things I might have bought with the rest of the money, and laughed at me so much for my folly
that I cried with vexation(烦恼). Thinking about the matter gave me more ___44___ than the whistle
gave me pleasure.
___45___, this was afterwards of use to me, for the impression continued on my mind, so that
often, when I was ___46___ to buy something I did not need, I said to myself, “Don’t give too much
for the whistle, ” and I saved my money. As I grew up, came into the world, and ___47___ the
actions of men, I thought I met with many, very many, who “gave too much for the whistle.”
If I knew a miser（守财奴）who ___48___ every kind of comfortable living, all the pleasure
of doing good to others, all the esteem of his fellow citizens and the joys of friendship, ___49___
gathering and keeping wealth--- “Poor man,” said I, “ you pay too dear for your whistle.” When I
met a man of pleasure, who did not try to improve his mind or his fortune but ___50___ devoted
himself to having a good time, perhaps neglecting his health, “ Mistaken man, you are providing
___51___ for yourself, instead of pleasure; you are paying too dear for your whistle.” If I saw
someone fond of ___52___ who has fine clothes, fine houses, fine furniture, fine earrings, all above
his ___53___, and for which he had run into debt, and ends his career in a prison. “Alas,” said I, “he
has paid dear, very dear, for his whistle.” ___54___, the miseries of mankind are largely due to their
puffing a(n) ___55___ value on things --- to giving “too much for their whistle.”

When you think about coffee alternatives, garlic is probably one of the last things that comes to
mind, but that is exactly the ingredient that one Japanese inventor used to create a drink that looks
and tastes like coffee.
74-year-old Yokitomo Shimotai, a coffee shop owner in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, claims that
his unique “garlic coffee” is the result of a cooking blunder he made over 30 years ago, when he
burned a steak and garlic while waiting tables at the same time. Intrigued by the scorched garlic’s
aroma, he mashed it up with a spoon and mixed it with hot water. The resulting drink looked and
tasted a lot like coffee. Making a mental note of his discovery, Yokimoto carried on with his job,
and only started researching garlic coffee again after he retired.
Committed to turning his weird drink into a commercial product, Yokitomo Shimotai spent years
optimizing the formula, and about five years ago, he finally achieved a result he was satisfied with.
To make his dissolvable garlic grounds, he roasts the cloves in an electric oven, and, after they’ve
cooled off, smashes them into fine particles and packs them in dripbags.
“My drink is probably the world’s first of its kind,” the garlic coffee inventor told Kyodo News.
“It contains no caffeine so it’s good for those who would like to drink coffee at night or pregnant
women.”
“The bitterness of burned garlic apparently helps create the coffee-like flavor,” Shimotai adds.
He claims that, although his garlic coffee does give off an aroma of roasted garlic, it doesn’t cause
bad breath, because the garlic is thoroughly cooked. And if you can get past the smell, the drink
apparently does taste a lot like actual coffee.
If decaf isn’t good enough for you, and you’re in the mood for something new, you can try
Yokitomo Shimotai’s garlic coffee at his shop, in the city of Ninohc, Iwate Prefecture, or buy your
own dripbags for just 324 yen（$2.8）.
