thinking of moving back, a study has found.researchers in italy examined the tail wagging behavior of 30 dogs, catching their reaction 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 texted one at a time.the researchers led by professor giorgio vallortigara of the university of trieste found that when the dogs were shown their owners - a positive experience - their 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 appears of a cat again caused a right-hand side wag, although with less excitement again. the appearance of a large unfamiliar dog, similar to a german shepherd, changed to 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.36. the video cameras were used to catch the dogs reactions because _.a. it was easier to catch the dogs reaction changes in the tail waggingb. the dogs were put in the wooden boxes and tested one at a time.c. they enabled the

members. fragile items, like those made of glass should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up. never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. when there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.there is a strong chance of short circuits (短路) and fire breakouts during an earthquake. make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.during an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged. do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. never use the elevator to go down. stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. use the staircases at all times.if you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. if you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.if trapped in debris （瓦砾堆）, cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can find you. use a whistle (哨子) if one is available. never shout for help. shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust. do not light a match because you

such a popular activity that there are numerous hiking organizations worldwide. it is considered one of the recreational activities.many people say they go hiking because they love to walk outdoor, without necessarily having a destination ahead of them. this makes hiking much more different than walking down the street to the store or to some other places that we need to go. people who like hiking say, “we enjoy ourselves along the way whether we arrive somewhere important or not.”some people add another reason for hiking to the basic one of loving to be outdoors. these folks see hiking as not only mentally healthy for clearing the mind but also physically healthy as great exercise for the body. unlike some other more exercise programs, hiking can be an activity for almost anyone in

regular basis give little thought to the exercise part of the activity. these people are more likely to go hiking because they are exploring nature. they may be interested in the trees or the rocks, perhaps they are interested in looking at the birds or the various animals that lodge in the forest or the park. certainly park land is ideal for hiking. many of these sites have marked for hiking.

asked why they go hiking in their spare time many people will combine these reasons: it helps me relax; it doesnt take a great investment of money for equipment. for them, a good pair of shoes and some comfortable clothes can help them get away from work or other stressful situations that may arise in life. in many cases, these hikers can enjoy their favorite pastime all year long. they may be able to take those outdoor walks in almost any weather. its safe to say that hiking can heal and please the human being in many ways.51. which of the following sayings can describe the people who like
