Someone helped Yang Fan call the center on the way. And Li Tao, an animal-care manager, picked her up at the bus stop and drove them to the center.

If dogs are so warm and fluffy (毛茸茸的), then why are their noses so cold? Before, people thought that dogs had cold noses to help them control their body temperature(温度). But, a new study has shown some interesting findings about dogs’ noses. The study finds that when the air temperature is 30℃, the tip of a dog’s nose is about five degrees cooler than the air. But why is this? The researchers believe that the tip of a dog’s nose has a special sensory function (探测功能). So, they do an experiment to test it. The study shows that dogs can find weak heat sources—like a small animal—with their noses from 1.5 meters away. The research team studies three dogs named Charlie, Delfi and Kevin. For the experiment, the dogs have to tell the difference between two objects. The two objects are heated to different temperatures. Amazingly, all three dogs are able to sense the temperature difference between both objects. The study also finds that the heat from the objects in the experiment is too weak to be felt by human hands, even at very short distances. The dogs are able to sense these heated objects from a distance, but humans are only able to feel the warmth of the object if they touch it. To know more about it, the research team also studies the brain activity of 13 dogs. When a warm object is put near their noses, there is an increase in brain activity. 76. How many degrees is the tip of a dog’s nose when the air temperature is 30℃? ___________________________________________________________ 77. Which is the stronger to sense the temperature, the human hands or the dogs? ___________________________________________________________ 78. What’s the special sensory function in the tip of a dog’s nose? ___________________________________________________________ 79. How do the humans feel the heat of the objects? ___________________________________________________________ 80. What happens to the dogs when they sense heat from a warm object? ___________________________________________________________ 七、缺词填空（共10空；每空1分，计10分） 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。（每空一词） Gulliver’s Travels was written by Jonathan Swift who was born in a poor family in Dublin, Ireland, in 1667.
