A dog can’t speak any words, but it can “talk.” It has feeling just as you do. At times it may feel angry or afraid. Watch a dog closely, and you can find out how it feels. You can see what it is trying to tell you. When you are afraid, you may look down. When a dog is afraid, it may run away. When you are angry with other people, you stare at them (look at them for a long time) and so does an angry dog. Sometimes the hair along its back stands up.
Do you feel guilty when you have done something you shouldn’t do? Dogs can feel guilty, too. At times when I come home, my dog gives me a guilty look. Then I know he has done something wrong.
Dogs need love and attention. Some dogs are very unhappy when they are left alone for a long time. Some dogs even snap (撕咬) if they don’t get enough attention.
You may have a dog or you may know a dog. Treat (对待) it well if you want to have fun with it. Play with it. Take it on walks. Don’t order it round too much. Try not to punish it one time and not the next for doing the same thing. Always remember, a dog has needs and feelings just as you do. Talk to a dog, and it will talk to you.
62. When a dog is afraid, it may ________.
A. look down B. stare C. bark (吠叫) D. run away

Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness isn’t serious. In fact, it’s quite usual. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now scientists say there are three different kinds of loneliness.
The first kind of loneliness is temporary (暂时的). This is the most ordinary kind. It usually disappears quickly and doesn’t require any special attention. The second kind is situational loneliness. Although this kind of loneliness can bring physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually doesn’t last for more than a year. The third kind of loneliness is the most serious. Unlike the second kind, chronic (长期的) loneliness usually lasts more than two years. People who get chronic loneliness have problems socializing (社会交往) and becoming close to others. Unfortunately (不幸) many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.
Psychologists (心理学家) are trying to find ways to help chronically lonely people for two reasons: they’re unhappy and unable to socialize and there’s a connection (关系) between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad and sometimes dangerous condition.
