Dexter went through all the training to become a police dog with England's Metropolitan Police, but when all was said and done, he just wasn't cut out for the job. For one thing, the work was stressing him out. Me started showing signs of distress (痛苦) during training. “If a dog isn't settling or isn't happy in their role, it’s our duty to lake it out,” said Dexter's handler, Mike Sheather. The other reason Dexter was rejected from the job was that he is too friendly! “He's got a really good nose on him. It's just that his personality didn't lend itself to being a drug dog," Mike explained. "He's just too good around people. He was taken out because he was too sociable (友善的)." Mike is an experienced dog handler with the police force, and he hated to see such a good animal with so much training go to waste. Science tells us that just petting a dog gives out a feel-good chemical in the brain called oxytocin, and Mike realized that while Dexter might not be a tough police dog, his special skill is lightening the mood and offering comfort. That’s how Dexter became Scotland Yard's first-ever “Wellness Dog”. Dexter has visited health care workers, police officers who have experienced trauma (创伤), and local residents suffering from stress. Wherever he goes, Dexter inspires smiles! When Dexter enters a room, the mood is instantly lightened. Dexter and Mike have seen so much success that Mike plans to expand (扩大) the wellness dog program. 【1】What can be learned about Dexter? A.He doesn't have a good nose for drugs. B.Fie failed to get through all the training. C.He proved unsuitable to be a police dog.

D.Adapting to tough situations. 【4】What is the text mainly about? A.How police dogs are twined. B.How Mike put a dog to proper position. C.What the duties of wellness dogs are.

The mirror self-recognition test was dreamed up in the 1960's by Gordon Gallup, Jr., a scientist now with the State University of New York. Back then, he was a graduate student taking a course in psychology, and the students were asked to come up with an idea for an experiment. “I was washing my face in front of a mirror one day, says Grallup. It occurred to me wouldn't il be interesting to see if other animals could recognize themselves in mirrors?" Still looking at the mirror, he realized he could test an animal by secretly marking its face with some kind of red dye （染料）,to see if it could use the mirror to access these strange red marks. No such test had been done before, even though people had long observed animals looking into mirrors. Most species tend to treat a mirror image as a stranger to be courted （献殷勤）or attacked. Some scientists thought that primates （灵长类）might do better. Charles Darwin once watched with interest as an orangutan （红毛猩猩）named Jenny made faces at a mirror. When Gallup started doing experiments with chimps （黑猩猩）.a few years after he came up with his test, he found that at first the chimps acted as if the mirror image were another animal. But then, after a couple of days they began using the mirror to examine parts of their bodies like their teeth. When Gallup put red dye on their faces, the chimps later woke up and reacted to the unexpected mirror image as if they understood that the marks were on their own faces. In Gallup s view, only three species have mirror self-recognition： chimps, orangutans, and humans. Others, though, think the list is longer. Diana Reiss, a scientist at Hunter College, has tested both dolphins and elephants and believes that both show signs of recognizing themselves in mirrors. 【1】Who first came up with the idea of the mirror self-recognition test? A.A university student. B.A zoo keeper in New York. C.A teacher in Hunter College. D.A scientist in a research organization. 【2】What did Gordon Gallup intend the red dye for? A.Marking his image in the mirror. B.Marking his own face before washing. C.Marking the face of the animal to be tested. D.Marking an animal without self-recognition ability. 【3】How did chimps react to their image in the mirror? A.They showed no interest in it. B.They examined that image carefully. C.They took it as another animal al first. D.They immediately recognized what il was. 【4】Which of the following have been tested by Diana Reiss? A.Orangutans. B.Chimps. C.Humans. D.Elephants. |

Here are some ideas, based on Internet research, talks with friends, and ideas of my own. 【1】 Old Maps and Newspapers I have some old National Geographic magazines and each one comes with some maps. 【2】They're out of dale, not really used anymore, and they look great.
