Adolescents Worldwide Not Sufficiently Physically Active

New WHO-led study says majority of adolescents worldwide are not sufficiently

physically active,putting their current and future health at risk. ________67________

“Urgent policy action to increase physical activity is needed now, particularly to

promote and keep up girls' participation in physical activity,” says study author Dr

Regina Guthold,WHO.

The health benefits of a physically active lifestyle during adolescence include

improved heart and lung fitness, bone health and positive effects on weight. There is

also growing evidence that physical activity has positive impact on cognitive

development and socializing. ______68_______

To achieve these benefits, the WHO recommends for adolescents to do moderate or

vigorous physical activity for an hour or more each day. The authors estimated 80

percent of teens do not meet this recommendation analyzing data collected through

school-based surveys on physical activity levels.

______69______Urgent scaling up is needed of known effective policies and

programs to increase physical activity in adolescents Multi-sectoral action is needed to

offer opportunities for young people to be active, involving education, urban

planning,road safety and others The highest levels of society, including national,city

and local leaders, should promote the importance of physical activity for the health and

well-being of all people, including adolescents.

A. But these beasts are mainly made of plastic tubes.

B. Jansen’s designs also work with heavier structures.

C. Kinetic (运动的) art isn’t just about making large sculptures move.

D. His “Strandbeests” walk along the coastline of Holland, feeding on wind and fleeing

from water.

E. These moving sculptures aren’t that common, especially since it takes a lot of time to

plan and build them.

F. His hope is that one day he will create groups of beasts that can “live” on the beaches

and survive without human interaction.

Sculpture with a Life of Its Own

There is a new type of animal that has been

walking along the beaches since the 1990s. They

are called Strandbeest, which is Dutch for beach

beast. _______67_______ They are creations

of Dutch artist Theo Jansen, and they can move

themselves using nothing more than the power of the wind. Jansen has even created a way for

his beasts to “eat” the air, and store its power by pressurizing bottles. This stored power also

allows the sculptures to detect when they have entered the water and change their direction.

He has even devised a method for them to stop themselves in the sand if a storm is

approaching!

The beauty of these creations is that they have no electronic parts, yet they have a

basic logic system that helps them walk in their habitat. Jansen’s creations look alive as they

move with a steady, even motion on the hard sand. Every year, he improves his designs.

________68________

Jansen’s kinetic sculptures use an innovative design to transform simple motions into

amazing works of art. The Strandbeests have a mechanical linkage that creates a walking

motion using triangles (三角形物体). The sculptures are large but have a delicate appearance.

The fascinating combinations of thin tubes and fine fin-like (像鳍一样的) sails moving in the

breeze create a striking image. One could easily believe they are some sort of strange lifeform

walking along the beach. _______69________ He created a beast, named Animaris

Rhinoceros Lignatus, which was made out of wood and weighed 250 kilograms.

________70________ There are many artists that use motion to create spectacular visual

effects. Some are large pieces, but many can sit on a desk or hang on a wall. However, they

all have one thing in common: you can’t appreciate their artistry until you see them move.

Jansen also sells mini versions of some of his beasts. They come in boxes that you can

assemble without any special tools. You, too, can try your hand at creating kinetic art!

B. The website is a convenient and useful resource for music lovers.

relating to their hobby.

D. If you want to use for communication, you might find that traditional

social networks are more suitable for this purpose

E. This website is of great benefit for music enthusiasts.

F. This technology is convenient and definitely helpful for music lovers.

A Useful Tool for Music Lovers

With the development and expansion of the Internet, many hobbies and interests of

modern people have gained a new dimension. The Internet allows enthusiasts to unite to share

their excitement about trends, to communicate and share experiences. Specialized websites

provide users with even more information about their subjects of interest and help discover

new boundaries of their passions. This refers to movies, arts, modeling, programming,

literature, and music as well. One can hardly find a person who would not be listening to

music on the way to work, at home, or elsewhere. (67)______________________.

One such website is : a mix of a social network and an Internet-radio that tracks

down the music its users listen to. (68)______________________. Besides, it has a number of

advantages compared to other sources providing similar services. The design of gives

a welcoming impression, though some might find it too simple. The site is displayed in red

tones, with the possibility of switching it to a black skin and, despite the quantity of

69. B 70. C

information, is easy to understand and navigate. Users can also decorate their profiles with

pictures of themselves, all kinds of badges, diagrams, tag clouds, and statistics relating to

music.

The availability of multiple functions also speaks in favor of . One of its

significant advantages over many other musical websites is the function of scrobbling (歌曲记录), which means tracking down the music one had been listening to.

(69)______________________. With its aid, searches for people with similar musical

preferences and shows one a list of those whose interests match to some extent. These people

are called neighbors and the idea is that they can get familiar with the fans of their favorite

kind of music and, most likely, make new friends. The information about upcoming events

nearby, as well as recommendations given about new music that a user might like are also

gathered and introduced by the means of scrobbling. If a person listens to one or two bands on

a consistent basis, the website will display a few new artists that play in a similar genre,

including new ones, so that a user can be in touch with the latest trends within their musical

interests.

(70)______________________. However, there is a serious drawback connected to it.

The fact is that the majority of free tracks and albums are available only to citizens of the

USA, Germany, and Great Britain, while in other countries, users can only listen to short

introductory samples. And yet those lucky ones from the places mentioned before can listen to

one track online up to five times a day. Besides, the website had recently changed its policy

towards monetization and reduced the number of free services. also works as a kind

of musical Wikipedia, providing users with biographies of bands, or actual musicians. There

is hardly a need to mention that musicians can also benefit from using the resource, presenting

information about themselves and involving fans.

A. Several studies show that people often think of paper materials as more important and

serious.

B. A less focused mind on books may find its way to focus on screen.

C. In other words, paper reading was found to be more efficient.

D. Reader preference is also important, she said.

E. That is to say, paper and screen reading have no effect on one’s getting information.

F. The word “cognition” means the mental action of increasing knowledge and understanding.

If you want to make sure that you understand this story as fully as possible, you might

consider printing the article and reading it on paper. That is one of the findings of a recent

study of research done on the differences between paper and screen reading.

Virginia Clinton, a professor of Education, Health and Behavior at the University of

North Dakota, carried out the research examination. She found what she called a “small but

significant” difference in reading text from screen versus paper.

Clinton’s examination found that reading from paper generally led to better

understanding and improved a person’s performance on tests connected to the reading

material. And, she found no major differences in reading speed between the two. (67)

_________________________

Such differences were notable only when the reading materials were expositive texts-- or

explanatory and based on fact. Clinton said she found no major difference when it came to

narrative, fictional texts.

Clinton also found that paper readers usually have a higher recognition of how well they

have understood a text than screen readers. This skill is called metacognition. (68)

________________ “Metacognition” simply means thinking about one’s own thinking.

Clinton and other researchers have found screen readers often believe they understand a

text better than they really do. And, they are more likely than paper readers to overestimate

how well they would do on a test of the materials they have read.

She said, “We think that we’re reading the story or the book better than we actually are.

We think we understand what we are reading better than how we are actually reading.”

Yet, this inflated sense of understanding, or overconfidence, is especially common among

screen readers.

There are many possible reasons for such findings. Overconfidence of screen readers, for

example, could be the result of a distracted, less focused mind. (69) _________________

Research shows the majority of people -- of all ages -- prefer reading from paper. But, if

someone prefers screen reading to paper reading, that person’s understanding of the material

is not likely to suffer.

Clinton said, “If you are enjoying the reading process, you’re going to be more involved.

You’re going to be paying better attention. Preferences are a key issue here.”

(70) ________________________ “If you are reading from paper, your mind thinks,

‘This is something important. I need to pay attention to it’,” Clinton said.

Although her findings may support paper reading over screen reading, Clinton says she

does not believe screen reading should be avoided.

Instead, she points to new and developing tools that can be used to improve a screen

reader’s understanding and focus.

timing of influenza vaccine production and distribution is unpredictable.

r, it's a different story when it comes to influenza, commonly known as "the

flu".

should get a flu vaccine before flu viruses spread in the community.

virus essentially "changes its coat" — H1N1, H2N3, and so on, as he told the

website Healthline.

said it takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the

body and provide protection against the flu infection.

the vaccines are likely to be updated from one season to the next to protect

against the viruses.

Guard against Flu

Vaccination (接种疫苗) is among the most effective ways to help us

prevent diseases. For viruses that don't change too much — the measles virus (麻疹) for

example—getting vaccinated is a once-and-for-all method to prevent you from becoming

infected with the virus. If you had two measles vaccines when you were a child, you will be

protected for life.

_____67_____ It generally peaks between December and February. Flu vaccines

cannot protect us in the long run. There is no permanent immunity, according to Theodore

Strange, associate medical director at Staten Island University Hospital in New York.

_____68_____

Apart from a person's immune protection from flu vaccination declining over time, flu

viruses are also constantly changing. _____69_____ To develop effective flu vaccines, over

100 national influenza (流感) centers around the world conduct year-round observation for

influenza. Researchers will test thousands of influenza virus samples from patients, according

to US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The World Health Organization

also suggests three or four influenza viruses that are most likely to spread among people

during the upcoming flu season.

But even when a vaccine is developed, getting it can prove to be difficult, as demand

tends to exceed supply._____70_____ The availability of the flu vaccine supply does not

always coincide with peak demand.

So,scientists prioritize access to the vaccination. The CDC recommends key

populations, such as medical staff, teachers, students, children and those aged 60 and above,

receive flu vaccines.

D. For new reporters, this can seem like a challenging task.

E. With a question like this, you will get more than a “Yes” or “No” reply.

F. That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need.

The Art of Man-on-the-Street Interviews

Have you ever observed the busy people of the street? Do they arouse your infinite

thinking? The man-on-the-street interview may become a popular word because it is new. The

man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a

cameraman to interview people on the spot. (67) ______________ But with these tips, your

first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.

When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story,

think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For

example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America, you might ask, “Why do

you think environmental protection is important in America?” (68) ______________

Hit the streets with confidence. As you approach people, be polite. Say, “Excuse me, I

work for a certain well-known TV or radio station, and I was wondering if you could share

your opinion about this topic.” This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.

(69) ______________ If someone tells you she is not interested, move on to the next

person. Keep in mind that not everyone wants to be interviewed, so don’t get hung up on it.

Limit your time. Each interview that you get on the street shouldn’t be longer than ten

minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need, move on to the next person. Make sure that

as you go from interview to interview, you are getting a variety of answers. A safe number of

interviews to conduct is about six to ten. (70) ______________

(70) For the media, the ability to increase ratings and influence may be the only meaning

they want. In fact, different people have different views towards the interview. Someone says

this should be the product of the fast- food information age.

A. Finally, nonverbal communication itself carries the impact of a message.

B. Finally, we can use nonverbal signals to add to the verbal content of our message.

C. Nonverbal messages have been recognized for centuries as a critical aspect of

communication.

D. All good speakers know how to do this with forceful gestures, changes in vocal

volume or speech rate, deliberate pauses, and so on.

E. Called turn-taking signals, these gestures and vocalizations (发声) make it possible

for us to alternate the conversational roles of speaking and listening.

F. The term was introduced in 1956 in the book “Nonverbal Communication: Notes

on the Visual Perception of Human Relations”.

Nonverbal communication is the process of sending and receiving messages without

using words, either spoken or written. Similar to the way that italicizing (斜体) emphasizes

written language, nonverbal behavior may emphasize parts of a verbal message.

(67) ______ For instance, in “The Advancement of Learning” (1605), Francis Bacon

observed that “the features of the body do reveal the tendency and inclination of the mind in

general, but the motions of the facial expressions and parts do not only so, but do further

reveal the present humour and state of the mind and will.” Psychologists Paul Ekman and

Wallace Friesen (1969), in discussing the interdependence that exists between nonverbal and

verbal messages, identified six important ways that nonverbal communication directly affects

our verbal messages. First, we can use nonverbal signals to emphasize our words. (68) ______

Second, our nonverbal behavior can repeat what we say. We can say yes to someone while

nodding our head. Third, nonverbal signals can substitute for words. Often, there isn’t much

need to put things in words. A simple gesture is enough. Fourth, we can use nonverbal signals

to regulate speech. (69) ______ Fifth, nonverbal messages sometimes contradict (与…矛盾)

what we say. A friend tells us she had a great time at the beach, but we’re not sure because her

voice is flat and her face lacks emotion. (70) ______ Being upset could mean we feel angry,

depressed, disappointed, or just a bit on edge. Nonverbal signals can help to make clear the

words we use and reveal the true nature of our feelings.

A. By definition, perfection is the state of mind which drives us to move forwards.

B. However, if we can’t relax and enjoy lighter moments, then we become prisoners

of our perfectionism.

C. To some extent, your answers to these questions reveal your personalities as well

as your attitude towards life.

D. We often display a desperate need to be right and refuse to acknowledge mistakes

or uncertainty.

E. The important thing is to learn from our error, forgive ourselves and move on.

F. Understanding what drives perfection is the first step toward releasing this

self-created obstacle that keeps us stuck.

Are You a Prisoner of Perfection?

Do you struggle for a goal that is beyond your reach? Do you hold an idealized vision

that is impossible to realize? Are you setting yourself up for failure and shame when you can’t

achieve the unachievable? 67____________

Shame and fear are often the hidden drives of perfection. We believe that if we fashion a

perfectly polished personality, flash our intelligence, and perfect our humour, then no one can

hurt us with criticism and we’ll win respect and approval.

For the majority of us, the addiction to staying perfect protects us from any sign of being

imperfect. 68____________ We fear that showing shortcomings will expose us to the

accusation that we’re weak. We stick to a desire to be right, perfect, and polished, even when

it’s obvious that the emperor has no clothes.

Perfectionism keeps us leaning toward the future. We’re constantly evaluating ourselves

in order to be better. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to do our best and self-correcting

along the way. 69____________ We get painfully self-conscious and take ourselves too

serious. Sadly, the simple pleasure of enjoying the moment and being ourselves are taken

away from us.

A cure to perfectionism is to make room for our human realize that

failing at any enterprise doesn’t mean that we are a failure. Without failures, we’ll never learn

from our mistakes; we’ll never move forward in our lives. Those who succeed have made

countless mistakes. 70____________ Being human, perfection is impossible. By accepting

ourselves as we are and doing our best, we begin to rid of the shame that drives perfectionism.

Entrepreneurs in New Zealand are working with America designers to develop

robotic dolphins that look almost exactly the same as real dolphins.

________67________ A robotic dolphin that can nod an answer to a child. It might not

sound attractive or may even sound worrying, but as marine parks around the world are

under pressure to stop using real whales and dolphins, the creatures are an attractive

alternative, their creators say.

"Marine parks have been making less money for more ten years because many

people think the parks are cruel and because of the cost of live animals, but people still

designer of the life-size robot bottle-nose dolphins. ________68________.

We have to persuade marine park owners that these dolphins can make them money,

even more money than live animals," Holzberg said. ________69________ On average,

bottle-nose dolphins live for less than 20 years in captivity but 30 to 50 years in the

wild.

Melanie Langlotz, one of the entrepreneurs behind the project, has a background in

reality games. "It became clear that any large aquarium, in order to compete with any

other aquarium, would need to have all the big animals on display, such as dolphins and

sharks," she said. "The bigger, the better." ________70________ Finally, the group

decided to use robotic animals instead of live ones. The sample robotic dolphin,

Langlotz said, weights more than 270kg. A test audience was unable to guess the

dolphin was not real, she added. Animal rights supporters also welcomed the change,

hoping robotic dolphins would replace real ones in marine parks worldwide.

Yold

The year 2020 marks the beginning of the decade of the yold, or the “young old”, as the

Japanese call people aged between 65 and 75. By continuing to work and staying socially

engaged, the boomers, in their new appearance as the young old, will change the world.

The yold are more numerous, healthier and wealthier than previous generations of

seniors.

(67)________________ Of the 3.7 years of increased life expectancy in rich countries

between 2000 and 2015, says the WHO, 3.2 years were enjoyed in good health. Working is

one of the factors that are helping people stay healthy longer. A German study found that

people who remain at work after the normal retirement age manage to slow the cognitive (认知的) decline. The yold are also better off, while the wealth of all other age groups declined.

The yold are challenging the traditional expectations of the retired in many aspects. They

won’t wear indoor shoes and look after the grandchildren. (68)________________ They also

above-average productivity and that teams of workers from multiple generations are the most

productive of all. Societies should be better off because public spending on health and

pensions should be lower than expected, as people work longer and need less medical care.

Today, some big things will have to change, under pressure from the yold themselves. The

most important is public attitudes towards older people and in particular the expectation that

60-somethings ought to quietly retire into the background. (70)________________ The

E. If you're managing a team, have everyone start the Pomodoro at the same time, and do

breaks at the same time.

F. It can be something big, something small, or something that you've been putting off for

months.

Managing Time with the Pomodoro Technique

In work, as well as in life, doing what needs to be done in order to reach our goals

can be difficult. (67)___________ Luckily, one of the most efficient and most popular time

management techniques is also one of the world's simplest—the Pomodoro Technique.

The Pomodoro Technique was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s.

(68)___________ Each block is known as a pomodoro, the Italian word for “tomato.” Cirillo

named the system after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer that he used to track his work time

when he was studying as a university student. He developed a habit of doing short blocks of

work followed by resting periods. He realized this method could help him work with time

instead of struggling against it.

In 2006, Cirillo published his Pomodoro Technique manual for people to download free

of charge. The Pomodoro technique can be applied in almost all parts of our life. It was built

around a handful of important steps. First, choose a task that you’d like to get done.(69)

___________ What matters is that you are ready to give it your full attention.

Next, set a timer for 25 minutes. Try to spend the full 25 minutes with your complete

attention on the task. Then, when the timer goes off, take a five-minute break. Sit back, have a

drink, go for a short walk, or do something else that is not work-related. Once you have

completed four of these 30-minute cycles, treat yourself to a longer break that lasts 15 to 30

minutes.(70)___________

After trying the Pomodoro Technique, you may want to experiment a little. Some people

have found that 90-minute blocks work best, while others might perform better with more

flexible periods. It varies from person to person. Just remember, like many things in life,

simpler is often better!

F.A better solution is to heat it with microwave for 10s.

How to Make a Good Cup of Tea

In his essay, A Nice Cup of Tea, George Orwell laid out 11 basic principles to make a

good cup of tea, from warming the pot beforehand to stirring the leaves before pouring. He

insisted that “the water should be actually boiling at the moment of impact, which means that

one should keep it on the flame while one pours”.

_____67_____ “Some people add that one should only use water that has been freshly

brought to the boil, but I have never noticed that it makes any difference,” he went on to state.

However, on that point at least, it seems he was wrong. William Gorman, one of Britain’s

leading tea experts, has now put forward that the water used for making a cup of tea should

never be boiled more than once. “Usually when people’s tea goes cold they reboil the kettle

and make another cup. _____68_____ You need freshly drawn water for a good cup because

reboiling it takes all the oxygen and nitrogen out of it, ruining its layered flavor.”

Besides, Mr. Gorman advocates another practice of making tea, one that Orwell would

surely have protested. Mr. Gorman said, “_____69_____ When you microwave tea, all you’re

doing is just moving the molecules around and getting it back up to a decent temperature. It

is not impacting the flavor at all.”

_____70_____ In some countries teapots are fitted with little dangling baskets under the

spout, to catch the stray leaves, which are supposed to be harmful. Actually one can swallow

tea-leaves in considerable quantities without ill effect, and if the tea is not loose in the pot, it

never infuses properly. They agree by doing this, you actually risk losing a good cup of tea.

If your employer has a certain number of hours that you’re expected to work each week, start

by seeing how to fit those hours around your fixed personal commitments, like taking your

kids to school or extracurricular activities. When do you need to start and stop to put in the

proper work time?

Step 2: Have Mental Clarity

Next, make sure you have mental clarity on what needs to get done and when you will

complete it. This includes having a place where you write down the many tasks that you need

to do, whether that’s in a notebook, a task management app, a project management system, or

in your calendar. (69)_________________ Then once you have this list, plan out your work.

This planning reduce anxiety that something will fall through the cracks or that you’ll miss a

deadline. The final part of increasing your mental clarity is to have an end-of-workday

wrap-up.

Step 3: Get Work Done at Work

It may seem crazy to say this, but I want to encourage you to give yourself permission to

do work at work. For many, they perceive “real work” as something they reserve for post-5 or

6 pm, after everyone else has left the office or after they’ve tucked their kids in bed for the

night. (70)_________________ But if you want to stop feeling distracted by work after hours,

you need to actually do your work during the day.

As individuals, we need a mental break to do our best work, and taking time for ourselves

without the distraction of work can help us become our best selves. I can’t guarantee that

thoughts about work will never cross your mind, but with these four steps, you can reduce

how much you’re distracted by work after hours.

A. In fact, it didn't imitate anything at all.

B. This simple puzzle game, now more than thirty years old, continues to dominate best-of

lists.

C. The gaming giant Electronic Arts once sold more than 500 million copies of its version

for the iPhone and other smartphones.

D. Thanks to the unique pathway it uses, the game shows real promise in medical

treatments.

E. The way Tetris affects the brain is so strong that it's literally named the Tetris Effect.

F. Tetris has entered popular and artistic culture.

The Most Important Video Game Ever Made

Time Magazine recently tasked its editorial staff

with ranking the 50 greatest video games of all time.

The number one spot was taken not by Super Mario,

Zelda, or any other worthwhile competitors,but by

the oldest and most basic game, Tetris.

________67________ It lives on in tablets, laptops,

smartphones, and game consoles(操纵板).

Why is Tetris the game we can't stop playing? Before Tetris,video games were

distractions for teens,personified by Super Mario Bros. Tetris was didn't rely on

the imitation of any cartoon characters. ________68________ The game was purely abstract,

geometry(几何图案) in real time. It wasn't just a was an uncrackable code puzzle that

anyone could play. Your parents played Tetris, your friends played Tetris, and you'll encounter

the same story in nearly every country on Earth.

________69________ It has been included in the Applied Design collection at the

Museum of Modern Art in New York. It has been adapted as interactive public art projected

onto the sides of buildings. And it is the subject of an annual World Championship

competition.

There are plenty of fascinating classic games. Why do we keep coming back to Tetris

year after year? Scientists have discovered that Tetris has a unique effect on the human

brain,making it the perfect tool for scientific research. ________70________ It is a term used

in both medical and popular literature. It describes the result of repetitive, pattern-based

activity that eventually shapes the thoughts and imagination of an individual. This unique

effect has been used in studies at Oxford University to treat stress disorder.

That's pretty impressive for a few lines of code written by a lone computer scientist at the

Russian Academy of Science in 1984. I have no doubt the first game many of us will

download on the new phone will be the latest version of the most important game in history,

Tetris.

答案 67-70 BAFE

A. It is widely recognized that the dog has a complex structure of brain, similar, in a way,

to that of human’s.

B. But they respond correctly to our words.

C. Animals are found to have adopted various mechanisms to defend against enemies.

D. They are capable of obtaining mood implications even though they can’t talk.

E. It has been discovered that dogs’ brains, like those of humans, compute the intonation

and meaning separately.

F. Domesticated animals have evolved alongside humans for the past thousands of years.

Every dog owner knows that saying Good dog! in a happy, high-pitched voice will bring

about a flurry of joyful tail wagging in their pet.

That makesscientists curious. What exactly happens in your dog's brain when it hears

praise? And is it similar to the way our own brain processes such acoustic information?

When a person gets a compliment, the more primitive subcortical(皮下的) auditory

regions first react to the intonation(声调), the emotional force of spoken words. Next, the

brain taps the more recently evolved auditory cortex(皮质) to figure out the meaning of the

words, which is learned.

_________67_________ Of course, dogs use their right brain hemisphere to do so,

whereas we use our left hemisphere. Still, a mystery remains. Do their brains go through the

same steps to process approval? It’s an important question. Dogs are speechless species.

_________68_________ For instance,

some dogs are able to recognize thousands of names of individual objects. They can even link

each name to a specific object.

When the scientists studied scans of the brains of pet dogs, they found that theirs, like

ours, processed the sounds of spoken words in a multi-step manner. They analyze first the

emotional component with the older region of the brain, the subcortical regions. Subsequently,

they deal with the words’ meaning with the newer part, the cortex.

Previous studies have shown that many animals, from songbirds to dolphins, use the

subcortex to process emotional hints. _________69_________ Zebras, for instance, can

eavesdrop on the emotion, or fright to be precise, in other herbivore(食草动物) animals’ calls.

In this way they learn if predators are nearby.

It’s likely that human language evolved from such hints, We employ the same neurological

systems to develop speech. _________70_________ Dogs have the very likeliness to make

special use of the ancient connection to process human emotions. It helps explain why dogs

are so successful at partnering with us and at times manipulating us with those soulful eyes.
