directions depending on whether they are excited and wanting to move forward or threatened and thinking of moving back, a study has found.researchers in italy examined the tail wagging behaviour of 30 dogs, catching their responses to a range of stimuli(刺激物) with video cameras. to conduct the study they chose 15 male dogs and 15 female ones aged between one and six years. the dogs were all family pets whose owners had allowed them to take part in the experiment at bari university. the dogs were placed in a large wooden box with an opening at the front to allow for them to view various stimuli. they were tested one at a time.the researchers led by professor giorgio vallortigara of the university of trieste found that when the dogs were shown their ownersa positive experiencetheir tails wagged energetically to the right side. when they were shown an unfamiliar human they wagged to the right, but with somewhat less enthusiasm. the appearance of a cat again caused a right-hand side wag, although with less intensity again. the appearance of a large unfamiliar dog, similar to a german shepherd, changed the direction of tail wagging to the left. researchers supposed the dog was thinking of moving back. when the dogs were not shown any stimuli they tended to wag their tails to the left, suggesting they preferred company. while the changes in the tail wagging were not easily noticed without the aid of video, it was thought that the findings could help people judge the mood (心情) of dogs. computer and video systems, for example, could be used by professional dog trainers to determine the mood of dogs that they were required to approach.【小题1】the video cameras were used to catch the dogs responses because .a. it was easier to catch the dogs response changes in the tail waggingb. the dogs were put in the wooden boxes and tested one at a time.c. they enabled the dogs owners to know about their dogs habitd. the dogs wagged their tails in different directions when they

rightc. not wag at alld. wag to the left and then to the right【小题4】the underlined word “they”in the last paragraph refers to .a. the dogsb. the trainersc. the systemsd. the researchers【小题5】the purpose of doing the experiment is .a. to train dogs for their ownersb. to help people judge the mood of dogsc. to help dogs find companyd. to help people choose their pet dogs19sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies. many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers. an attraction of sport programs for the major u.s. media companies is that events are often held on saturday and sunday afternoonsthe slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. this means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming. media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. the people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. they also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance. golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. these sports attract few viewers, and the ratings are unusually low. however, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. it is made up of people from the highest income groups in the united states, including many lawyers and business managers. this is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computer, and holiday trips .this is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computer. with such viewers, these programs dont need high ratings to stay on the air.【小题1】television sport programs on weekend afternoons .a. result in more sport eventsb. get more viewers to play sportsc. bring more money to the television networksd. make more people interested in television【小题2】why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs?a. because there would be few viewersb. because the advertisers would be off workc. because television programs would go slowlyd. because viewers would pay less for watching television【小题3】in many families, men make decisions on .a. holiday trips b. sports viewingc. television shopping d. expensive purchases【小题4】the ratings are not important for golf and tennis programs because .a. their advertisers are carmakersb. their viewers are attracted by sportsc. their advertisers target at rich peopled. their viewers can afford expensive cars【小题5】.what is the passage mainly about?a. television ratings are determined by male viewers.b. sports are gaining importance in advertising on television.c. rich viewers contribute most to television companies.d. commercial advertisers are the major sponsors of sport events.apple seedscirculation(发行量) : 1 year, 9 issuescover price: $44.55price for you:
