Chat with your pet. Your pet may not exactly u 3 our words, but he can at least pick up on the tone of your words and your body language when you t 4 to him. For example, if you speak with him in a c 5 and hard voice, he might pick up on the fact that you are unhappy with his behavior(行为). Use non-verbal communication(非语言交流). Your non-verbal communication is just as i 6 as verbal communication. Non-verbal communication is often used in t 7 your pet to do a certain activity. For example, if you are s 8 on your horse, you would use your legs and hands to tell your horse to turn on the forehead. When you teach your dog to sit, you would actually use both verbal and non-verbal communication(hand signals) to give him the “sit” order. Don’t punish(惩罚) your pet. Punishing your pet is never a good idea. Punishment can make your pet afraid of you and you will possibly l 9 the trust and respect that he has for you. Moreover some p 10 , like cats, do not necessarily make the connection between your punishment and the behavior you are punishing them for. They don’t understand why you do that at all. 参考答案： 一、根据句意、中文释义或首字母提示，写出所缺单词。 1. weigh 2. sick 3. mainly 4. action 5.tiny 6. birth 二、用所给词的适当形式填空。 1. happiness 2. beginning 3. easily 4. growth 5. to live 6. protction 三、单项选择 1-5 ABCDB 6-8 ACA 四、完形填空 1-5 BADCD 6-10 BACDB 11-15 CABDC 五、阅读理解 1-5BDCAC 六、首字母填空 1.one 2.tips 3.understand 4.talk 5.cold 6.important 7.teaching 8.sitting 9.lose 10.pets 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
