This powerful sense of smell helps dogs explore the world, and the super ability is connected with people. Dogs help farmers find lost sheep. For police, they help find bad or dangerous things.

It’s said that on a good day, dogs can smell things as far as 12 miles away. Many things affect how far dogs can smell. Some dogs are better at following smells than others. For example, dogs with long ears and strong noses are naturally better at tracking (追踪) than others. Training also matters — search dogs learn to follow smells in difficult places. The environment plays a role too: open fields make smelling easier, while forests make it harder. On a sunny day, your dog can easily smell the baked meat from your neighbour’s house. However, wind might change how smells move. Even age affects a dog’s sense of smell, as older dogs may not smell as well as younger ones. This powerful sense of smell helps dogs explore the world, and the super ability is connected with people. Dogs help farmers find lost sheep. For police, they help find bad or dangerous things. They can even tell when people are seriously sick. Their noses are like magic tools, making the world safer and easier for humans. There are many stories about dogs helping save lives. 根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。 ( ) 26. What does the special organ help dogs to do? A. To run faster in the forest. B. To hear sounds from far away. C. To have a good sense of smell. D. To remember different smells easily. ( ) 27. Which kind of dogs can follow smells better? A. Lovely dogs younger than two years old. B.

Its branches are wide open, much like a man welcoming visitors with open arms. Can you guess which tree it is? It’s the Guest-Greeting Pine. This over 10-metre-tall pine is a famous sight on Mount Huangshan and is also one of the most popular trees in China. Hu Xiaochun started working on Mount Huangshan in 2006. Four years later, he became the 19th guardian (守卫者) of the Guest-Greeting Pine. Every day, Hu looks over every part of the pine. He does this to make sure the trunk (树干) is strong and the branches are fine. Then, he might write in his diary, “Everything is fine.” To Hu, that’s the best news. “It means the pine is healthy,” Hu says. Hu really cares about the Guest-Greeting Pine. Pinewood nematodes (松材线虫) can make pine trees sick and even cause them to die, so Hu keeps a close watch on them.
