But can a dog tell by simply looking at you whether you have a happy or an angry expressions on your face? Researchers in Austria have taught pet dogs to know the difference.‎ Dogs are very mindful of sound. When dog owners shout or speak in a strong, angry voice, dogs often act guilty and quietly move away from the area.‎ Recently, researchers found that dogs can look at our faces, and tell the difference between a smile and frown. The animals were able to recognize a look of agreement from one of disagreement.‎ The researchers tried to teach dogs to recognize facial expressions. They showed the dogs tow pictures of either the upper or lower half of a person’s face. On one picture, the person looked happy. The other appeared angry.‎ The dogs were then shown pictures of the eyes or mouths of people they had never seen before. They were also shown the left half of the faces used in training. The goal of the research is to find out if the dogs realize that smiling eyes have the same meaning as smiling mouth, or angry eyes have the same meaning as an angry mouth. And it turned out that they really did perform very well in these tests.‎ Once the dogs learned to recognize which picture was happy or angry, they could easily tell the same expressions in pictures of any face.‎ The study has shown that they can discriminate these expressions are different. They would connect something nice with the smiley face and something bad with the angry face. But what is not sure of at this point is if they really know the true meanings of them--- for example, a frown means angry.‎ The researchers’ findings provide the first certain idea that humans are not the only species that can read the body language of another people.‎ ‎46. Scientists did the research by ______________.‎ ‎ A. having dogs make smiley faces in the test B. shouting at dogs or speaking to them angrily C. teaching dogs to tell happy or angry expressions D. showing pictures of the eyes or mouths of people ‎ ‎47. The word “discriminate” in paragraph 7 means “___________________”‎ ‎ A. explain B. tell C. accept D. believe ‎48. What is the research mainly about?‎ ‎ A. How dogs show their feelings B. How dogs owners show their feelings C. Whether dogs can tell people’s feelings D. If dogs can tell people’s facial expressions ‎49. What can we infer from the passage?‎ ‎ A. Humans are the only species that can read body language B. If you shout to your dog in an angry voice, it will act guilty C. If you train your dog, it can recognize you by your eyes or mouth D. Researchers may study if dogs know the true meaning of a frown next 一、 阅读短文,根据短文内容,从短文的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项只能用一次。‎ One day a bookseller let a big box of books fall on his foot. “Go to see the doctor.” Said his wife. “No,” he said. “I’ll wait until the doctor comes into the shop next time. ____50_____ if I go to see him, I’ll have to pay him.”‎ ‎____51____ When the bookseller was getting them ready, he told the doctor about his bad foot.

The star and its planets of years older than our own sun. That is to say, life might be somewhere in our galaxy in the long past.‎ We can hear the music of the stars. It’s the vibrations of a 2.6 billion-year old star that changed into sound. While researchers now compare it with the sound of a star that’s nearly three billion years older, Pro. Bill Caplin, who led the research, discovered that he could work out the age of stars from the sound they make.‎ So as the stars get older, as their outer parts grow larger, and we get these changes to the structure of the deep inner part, what we find is that the time which the star resonates was made longer.‎ Pro. Caplin and his team were able to work out that the star, with five planets going around it, which are about the same size as our own earth, was more than eleven billion years old. That’s 6.5 billion years older than our own sun and the oldest star with such planets discovered to dat. It’s thought that living organisms are more likely to live well in words that are about the same size as the earth, as well as having the right temperature and having running water. So the discovery raises the possible that life might have been there in our own galaxy billions of years before our own earth had appeared.‎ ‎55. What have the UK scientists discovered?‎ ‎56.
