Say" Sit" to your dog, and he'll likely sit on the floor. But would he respond correctly if the word were spoken by a stranger, or someone with a thick accent? A new study shows he will, suggesting dogs understand spoken words in a clever and complicated way long thought unique to humans.

Holly Root-Gutteridge, a biologist, and her colleagues ran a test. The researchers filmed 42 dogs of different breeds as they sat with their owners near an audio speaker that played noncommand words with similar sounds, such as "had", "hid", and "who'd". The words were spoken—not by the dog's owner—but by several strangers, men and women of different ages and with different accents.

In the video above, the dog Max turns quickly and listens seriously when he hears a woman say "had"for the first time. But as other women with different accents repeat the word, he loses interest, indicating he knows they are all saying the same word. When a speaker says a new word, like "who'd", Max cheers up again, but his attention flags when a new voice returns to saying "had". Together, these reactions suggest dogs recognize words regardless of the speaker—and that they don't need any training to do it, the team reports today in Biology Letters.

"It's wonderful—and novel—to see research looking at dogs'reactions to words that are not commands or requests," says Alexandra Horowitz, a researcher at Barnard College in New York City. Because of the nature of the test, however, the scientists cannot show that the dogs "understood"what the words meant, Horowitz points out." But the work clearly demonstrates that dogs are listening to us,"she says, even when our speech is not about them.

If you were a superhero, what would your super power be? Would you want to fly or be invisible? Or, perhaps, you'd rather have the power to read minds? Wouldn't that be cool?

Reading minds is not as far-fetched as you might think. In fact, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a wearable device that can actually express a person's thoughts and allow them to talk to a computer―without anyone else hearing.

The device, called AlterEgo, allows a person to control a computer and ask it questions without ever saying one word. When a person wearing the device thinks of a word or a phrase but does not speak it, AlterEgo picks up the neuromuscular (神经肌肉的) signals in the person's jaw and face.AlterEgo sends those signals to a computer, which is programmed toassociate them with specific words.

The device is fairly accurate. In a 10-person trial, AlterEgo had the 92percent transcription (转录) accuracy. Researchers say that number will increase over time. "Our idea was: Could we have a computing platform that's more internal, that combines humans and machines in some ways and that feels like an internal extension of our own thought? "Arnav Kapur, a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab said.

So what effect could this have on communication? AlterEgo can changethe way humans communicate with computers, allowing us to silently connect with AI assistants such as Amazon's Alexa or Apple's Siri without anyone knowing. If a person is having a conversation and wants to look up a bit of information, they don't have to take out their computer or mobile phone; instead they can just think of the question. AlterEgo will answer without breaking in on the conversation. The device can also help people communicate with their voice in noisy situations, such as on a factory floor oron the deck of an aircraft carrier.

When four young children were found after 40 days in the Colombian Amazon forest,the rescuers noticed that the oldest,13-year-old Lesly Mucutuy,had some seeds hidden between her teeth.

The seeds were from a native Amazon palm tree known as"milpeso"sin Colombia.Its fruits are rich in fat and Amazon tribes use them to make a vegetable oil."She was keeping them so that the warmth of her mouth would open up the seeds and she could feed the pulp( 果 肉 ) to her younger sisters and brothers,"said Eliecer Muioz,one of the four guards who made the very first contact with the children."That's how they stayed alive".

Survival experts have been trying to answer this question:How did the four children—the youngest just a baby—survive in the heart of the Amazon rainforest for so long?The stretch of the jungle they were found in is one of the most remote and difficult to reach in Colombia,where wild animals and poisonous insects are plentiful,rains can pour for over 15 hours a day and visibility is sometimes limited to 10 meters due to the thick vegetation.In more than a month without adults, they appear to have survived on wild fruits and three pounds of cassava flour, a high-protein traditional food of the Amazon diet,which they got from the wreckage(残骸)of the plane.When found,the children had bottles they used to collect water,either from streams or from the rain.

While their survival remains a marvel,it was no doubt facilitated by traditional knowledge of  the forest they acquired from a remarkably young age.Lesly,in particular,is praised for not only staying alive herself,but also making sure her younger sisters and brothers would survive following the loss of their mother in the plane crash.

Nelly Kuiru,an activist,believes that her courage goes far beyond botanical skills: "Ancestral, traditional knowledge is more than that Lesly learnt to pick fruits, but there's something much deeper there,a spiritual connection with the forest surrounding us."

Davey got up early in the morning and couldn't wait to look out of the window. To his great disappointment, it was snowing heavily outside. Usually he would look forward to watching snow, but today he was not. It was Christmas Eve, and because of the snowstorm, Davey was worried that his cousin Josh would be stuck in the road and couldn't make it to his home for Christmas from a neighboring city.

"We haven't seen each other for half a year, and I have got a special present for him!" Davey said to himself. "How I wish he could get here!"

In the afternoon, Davey and his parents drove to the town to buy a Christmas tree. When they finished shopping and were about to leave the store, Davey saw a crowd of people outside. He ran to get a closer look. It was Santa Claus (圣诞老人)! Children were waiting in line to express their wishes to him. "Can I get in line, please Dad?" asked Davey. "Well, we're kind of in a hurry," said his dad. "But since this is Santa Claus, I guess we can spare the time."

Davey gave his dad a big thank-you hug and ran to the line. When it was finally his turn, Davey climbed up on Santa's lap. Santa asked, "Well, what would you like for Christmas?"

"I wish my cousin Josh could get home for Christmas," Davey said. "But the snow is so deep that Mom and Dad don't think he can make it." Having known from the weather forecast(预报) that it would be sunny with the snow stopping later, Santa Claus said, "I don't usually deliver people on Christmas Eve, but I'll tell you what to do. Tonight, before you go to sleep, make your wish on the biggest, brightest star in the sky. That's the Wishing Star and it might hear your heart."

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Dear Jim,

As the capital of 13 dynasties throughout Chinese history. Xi'an has never been far from sports. Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, the city (hold) many sports events, such as cuju.

Cuju was ancient Chinese competitive game involving kicking a ball through an opening. As the ancestor of soccer, it first appeared in the ancient Chinese historical work Zhan Guo Ce, in which cuju (describe) as one of amusement among the general public.

Later, cuju was (common) played in the army during the Han Dynasty. Emperor Hangaozu Liu Bang, the first emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, liked both watching cuju games  playing cuju on the playground. Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was crazy about cuju, would set up a cuju field wherever his army went. He used cuju as a way of (train) soldiers.

The (early) record of women cuju players dates back to the Han Dynasty. We can see from the paintings that females with their hair (tie), were playing cuju elegantly.

(protect) this precious national culture, the Chinese government put it into the first batch of China's intangible cultural heritage in 2006.

Teaching is always a challenge. Each student has his own needs and difficulties. A student called Billy1 me with his behavior. He struggled daily with his uncontrollable emotions and often became angry. To make2 progress, is emotions needed controlling.

One3 I tried to help Billy was to have him come directly into the classroom when he reached school. Billy's mom would4 me to inform me of a particularly emotional morning at home. Then, would5 calming him down.

One week our class was studying6 . I thought one way to bring learning into the classroom was to bring my dog Rocky to school.

That day I was preparing activities focusing on dog themes when I was told that Billy had a7 morning at home and I might need to get him settled. As I was talking to his mom, Billy8 into the classroom. To Billy's surprise, Rocky immediately ran to his new9 wagging his tail and rubbing against Billy's leg. Billy was10 by Rocky and began laughing.

Throughout the day, Billy never left Rocky's side, being gentle with him and even11 the other students while Rocky was sleeping.

Billy was known for doing anything he could to avoid12 , but on this day he found a story about dogs and read it to Rocky. How13 I was at the sight of Billy reading happily! My little dog was able to change Billy's day from one of anger to one of laughter, gentleness and14 .

That day Rocky more than helped me with my15 . He helped to change the life of a child!

How to Improve Your Mental Health

Your mental health is an important aspect of your overall health. No matter what your situation is, you can take steps to improve your mental health.

Take a self-assessment(评估). Everyone has what is known as "emotional intelligence" or EQ. EQ refers to how well you understand your emotions and actions. Figuring out your EQ is important if you want to improve your mental well being. A mental health expert can also help you determine your EQ.

Set goals. After you have completed your self-assessment, you can clearly identify the areas you would like to focus on improving. Take time to set some clear and achievable goals. These can be both long term and short term goals. Write down your goals. 

Handle your emotions. An important part of improving your mental well-being is learning to admit your emotions.  However, it is important to handle your emotions. Handling your emotions is a multi-step process. It includes sensing, naming, attributing, evaluating and acting.

Learn how to identify and deal with your triggers (诱因) . Everyone has different triggers.  To deal with your triggers, take some time to figure out what they are and develop plans for how to deal with them.

Gather information. Don't believe that mental health issues are somehow not "real" problems. Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Take some time to learn about the importance of your mental health. For example, you might visit a yoga studio to ask them about the mental benefits of practicing yoga.

A. Take some time to look at the big picture.

B. This is when you apply a name to the emotion.

C. Yours might be certain people, situations, or places.

D. Research different ways to improve your mental health.

E. This will help you keep them and make your dream come true.

F. Sometimes it might feel simple r to set aside an uncomfortable emotion.

G. You can find online assessment tools to help you figure out your results.
