A dog can’t speak words, but it can “talk”. It has feelings just as you do. At times, it may feel angry or afraid. Watch a dog closely, and you can find out what it feels. You can see what it is trying to tell you.

A fearful dog looks away from you. It may run away too. When you are angry at people, you stare(盯着看) at them and press your lips together. An angry dog also stares. Sometimes the hair along its back stands up.

Do you feel guilty when you have done something wrong? Dogs can feel guilty too. At times when I come home, my dog gives me a guilty look. Then I know he’d 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 not really own a dog if you don’t know it. Treat 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(惩罚)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’ll t alk to you too.

()56. If a dog snaps, it is because it may ___________.

A. feel lonely

Different weather makes people feel different. It influences(影响)health, intelligence(智力)and feelings.

In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.

The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ (智商)of a group of students was very high when a very strong and wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).

Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.

Low air pressure(气压)may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low — pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18 ℃.

Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.()61. _________ can cause problems on health.
