C DHappy as a pig in mud.It's a funny saying,isn't it?For much of the past century, scientists thought non-human animals didn't have emotions.But recently,we've learned that they' re more intelligent than we thought and they do have emotions. 2Frans de Waal,a primatologist at Emory University,believes that many animals feel fear, pride,hope,joy,and happiness.However,they don't experience these emotions the same way as we do."We can observe animals and guess how they feel or look at their hormones and see if they're stressed,but we can't really know how they feel inside-we're just making our best guesses."says Fay Clark at the University of Bristol.So,how can we tell what they're feeling inside more scientifically? To better understand animals,scientists started looking at animals'faces.Researchers have found that horses,cows,and rabbits make certain facial expressions when they are in pain. Sara Hintze of the University of Natural Resources says that positive emotions are harder to read, but researchers are beginning to explore the signs of positive emotions and there's still a lot to learn. OResearchers have had more success with vocalizations.In a study from 2022,one scientist, Elodie Briefer,and her team made a computer program to tell whether pigs'noises are negative or positive.They used more than 7000 recordings from different situations.In situations thought to be positive,such as when pigs were running free,eating,or expecting a reward,they usually made sounds like grunts and barks.In negative situations,such as when they were fighting or being handled by humans,their grunts and barks were longer and deeper,or they made loud squeals and screams. 5These new findings help start campaigns (to move from just stopping animals suffering()to doing everything we can to make sure they live happy lives.This is especially true for animals living on farms or in zoos.Briefer says that people will soon realize that 第4页共8页 understanding animals'feelings is an important part of caring for them,maybe even as important as their health 33.What can we learn from the passage? A Animals have the same emotions as humans do. B.Animals make facial expressions to show happiness. C We've done well in caring for animals'mental health. D.We're still on the way to read animals'positive emotions. 34.The underlined word "vocalizations"in Paragraph 4 probably means A.actions B.sounds C.emotions D.looks 35.What might be the best title for the passage?

On our way,we passed a wooden bridge.A man at the tollgate called out to us,"Be carefull There was a big storm today.The river is rising fast.The bridge may not be safe." My master thanked him,but we went on.The road was good,and I walked steadily.We finished our business and started back home.But now the weather had changed.The wind was howling,and rain was falling hard. As we rode through the woods,there was a loud cracking sound.A great oak tree fell right in front of us!John stopped me just in time.We turned around and took another road. Soon we reached the wooden bridge.I put my foot on it-then stopped.Something felt wrong.I did not want to go forward. "Go on,Beauty!"said my master,and he gave a light snap with his whip.But I did not move. I stood still. Just then,a man came running from the tollgate with a lantern."Stop!"he shouted."The middle part of the bridge is gonel The flood carried it away!If you had gone on,you would have fallen into the river!" My master and John looked at each other.Then John stroked my neck and said,"Good horsel You saved our lives tonight." We tumned back and took another way home.When we got back,John gave me a warm supper and a soft bed of straw.I had earned my rest. -Taken from Black Beauty 37.When did the story take place?
