Do you have a dog? Do you need to go out to work or study every day? If you’ve ever felt sorry for 1 your dog home alone, here’s some good news—doing one simple thing before you go may help it a lot!
We already know that touch can lower stress in pets. But a recent study took it a step 2 —scientists tested whether gentle petting (温柔的抚摸) before a short separation (分离) could make dogs feel much better 3 their owners are not around.
In the study, ten dogs took part in two situations: once they were petted for a minute before their owner left, and once they were not. Researchers 4 their behaviors, stress levels, and even their salivary cortisol, a stress hormone (荷尔蒙), to see how they dealt with the separation. The result showed that dogs who received petting performed more calmly (平静地) while waiting for their owners. Their heart rates (心率) dropped much more after the test, showing they were more 5 .
The good points of petting don’t stop with dogs—it helps 6 , too! Studies have shown that petting pets can lower 7 , and improve the levels of oxytocin, the “feel-good” hormone. It can also help the owners feel less nervous and closer 8 their dogs before stepping out of the door.
So next time you pick up your 9 to the door, don’t forget to pet your dog for even a short time—it’s a 10 act of you but can mean the world to them!

I almost messed up “big time”.
My 5-year-old son and I were coming back from school when we saw a(n) 1 man on the side of the road. I wanted to give the man some money, but I didn’t have any cash (现金). My son Justus noticed the man as well. And then it happened...
Justus insisted on giving the man the 30 cents he had in his pocket. I was more than happy that he wanted to do this with 2 . But honestly I was hesitant (犹豫不决的), I didn’t want to give this man who clearly needed all the help he could get, just 30 cents. My own pride and thoughts about how the homeless man might react to 3 just two coins were holding me back.
I quickly realized that I was the only problem in this situation. I almost showed my son, through my inaction, that what he had wasn’t enough. I almost made him believe that what he saw as a good thing—and what was truly a good thing—wasn’t enough to make a 4 in someone’s life. I almost taught him that pride mattered more than helping another person. Thank goodness I quickly 5 that foolishness.
I rolled down the window and said, “I’m sorry, man. I don’t have any cash on me, but my son back here wants to give you everything he 6 right now. He just turned five.”
The smile on that man’s face lit up the crossroad, and he said to Justus, “Thank you so much!”
The only thing that 7 the brightness of that stranger’s smile after that moment was the even bigger smile on my boy’s face!
I also believed that a chain reaction of 8 started behind us that day, as other people rolled down their windows to help him too.
My little boy, without even 9 it, reminded me once again through his actions that it was always about the heart. What truly 10 is not how much you have, but the love and sincerity you give.

How often have you had the experience of a tourist in your country asking you a question in their language and expecting you to understand them? How do you feel when this happens? Maybe you don’t have any 1 of what they’re saying and you hurry away in confusion (困惑) and embarrassment (窘迫). Maybe you know the language and feel 2 that you are able to answer. If, on the other hand, you’re anything like me, you probably feel impatient or even a little 3 .
When this happens to me, I try to be polite and friendly, of course, although I don’t 4 , it makes me realize just how important it is to try and learn the language of the places I visit. I know that it is 5 for me to learn much if I’m only going to be there for a few days rather than a few weeks. 6 , I can at least try to learn the things I will really need to say. I 7 greetings like “hello” and “goodbye”, the words for “please” and “thank you”, how to ask 8 for goods or services, how to ask how much they cost and how to ask for directions.

Are you having problems learning a second language? Now scientists suggest you 1 while learning.

Both groups learned new words by 5 the words on large screens. Each class taught 40 new words. Then the students rested a bit and 6 a test.
The students took eight “special classes” in two months. Those who had ridden bicycles always did better on the test than those who had sat quietly.
Most 7 , the cyclists seemed to have a 8 memory for the new words. The scientists gave the students a final test a month after the classes. The cyclists remembered more words than the students who had not exercised.

What’s your idea about success? Some people say that beginners have all the luck, while others believe that success 1 only with practice. In fact, I feel both of these statements are not true all the time. Each is true in some ways 2 not in others.

My friend came to help me 7 the plant. When it was back in the sunny window, we both began to 8 happily together again.

Do you have a dog? Do you need to go out to work or study every day? If you’ve ever felt sorry for 1 your dog home alone, here’s some good news—doing one simple thing before you go may help it a lot!
We already know that touch can lower stress in pets. But a recent study took it a step 2 —scientists tested whether gentle petting (温柔的抚摸) before a short separation (分离) could make dogs feel much better 3 their owners are not around.
In the study, ten dogs took part in two situations: once they were petted for a minute before their owner left, and once they were not. Researchers 4 their behaviors, stress levels, and even their salivary cortisol, a stress hormone (荷尔蒙), to see how they dealt with the separation. The result showed that dogs who received petting performed more calmly (平静地) while waiting for their owners. Their heart rates (心率) dropped much more after the test, showing they were more 5 .
The good points of petting don’t stop with dogs—it helps 6 , too! Studies have shown that petting pets can lower 7 , and improve the levels of oxytocin, the “feel-good” hormone. It can also help the owners feel less nervous and closer 8 their dogs before stepping out of the door.
So next time you pick up your 9 to the door, don’t forget to pet your dog for even a short time—it’s a 10 act of you but can mean the world to them!
