It might understand more than you think.A border collie (牧羊狗) named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee (黑猩猩).In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldnt see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had workedout the answer by process of elimination (排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive. Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种) known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.Its hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they cant talk back. Still, it wouldnt hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!1.

Police are 2 about it and have stepped up their 3 for him. People have shown great interest in his disappearance due to sightings of puzzling lights in the sky and reports of alien visits around the time of his disappearance. Police have found Justin did 4 return home that night, because Justins two friends and some 5 have provided some evidence for that. His sister, Kelly, also heard Justin return home at about 11:00 p.m. 6 to Kelly, a bright light then appeared outside her window and a large spaceship was flying outside, with strange-looking 7 in it. Just then she heard Justin shout and the UFO disappeared. She hasnt seen Justin ever since. She believes the aliens took him, but her parents said she was only 8 . Some other people, like Mavis Wood, also say they have seen aliens. Police havent 9 out the possibility that Justin was taken by aliens, but are also looking into other possibilities. And they wont give up until they find 10 evidence. Lesson Three （Reading 2）Language points:1.
