  Dog training is a business for some people, a serious hobby for others, and a once in a life time experience for many.Individuals in all of these categories would probably agree that consistency(一致性)is a key element of success from the beginning.

  If puppies are to be socialized, they must learn to control the impulse to use the carpet as a bathroom, chew shoes, and nip at fingers.The first issue, bathroom training is more easily accomplished in warm weather.Try to feed your pup outdoors, and after he has finished eating, take him to a spot where you would like him to eliminate.If he cooperates, praise him generously with words and pats.Take him to the same spot after each meal, and eventually he will follow this routine himself.

  The sight of a small puppy chewing through a new tennis shoe will make you do well to remove the stolen shoe from the pup's mouth and firmly say “no!”.Provide your pup with some acceptable toys, such as a ball or a chew toy.

  Until your pup is well trained and trustworthy, don't leave him unattended unless he is limited to a small area.When he is young, you want to be sure someone will praise your pup for desired behavior and express disapproval when he does something you want to discourage.

  You will want your dog to learn to respond to the commands “Come”, “Sit”, and “Stay”.Again, consistency and praise will help you achieve this goal.Each time the dog responds as you wish, praise him.Whenever he ignores your command, make him do what you commanded and then praise him.

  Negative behavior must be attended to also.You can discipline most dogs without hitting them.Since they are usually anxious to please, most dogs are duty punished by cruel words and tone of voice.Remember to be consistent so your dog knows unquestioningly what is acceptable behavior.

  Although the first stages of dog training require great deal of time and patience, the reward of a socialized and obedient dog is well worth the effort.

閱讀理解:閱讀下列短文, 從所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中, 選出最佳答案。 

    Animals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and   they do not eat more than their bodies need. It has been demonstrated   (證實(shí)) that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time,   prefer water with vitamins (維生素) to water without vitamins, even   though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water   bottles. When a fragrant flavor (香味) was added to the   vitamin—enriched liquid, the rats did seem to develop a taste for it   and kept drinking it, even after the vitamins were switched (轉(zhuǎn)) to   the clear water. In time, however, they broke the habit and went back   to where the necessary vitamins were.

  

      In an experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a   cafeteria (自助食堂) with a wide selection of baby food before them.   They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested   in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating   patterns, but over a period of time they managed to select a well   balanced diet (飲食).

  

       So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on   what's best for them. Clearly, there is a kind of "body wisdom" which   humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many   of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced (影   響) by long-established habits. Some people eat fox, dog and   blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how   much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on   around them.  

  

(1)In the experiment on rats, a fragrant flavor was added to the   rat's drinking water to ________.

[  ]

A. encourage rats to drink it     

B. find out what kind of flavor rats prefer     

C. test whether rats know which drink is with fragrant flavor     

D. demonstrate that vitamins are tasteless     

(2)The expression "the habit" in the first paragraph refers to   drinking water which __________.          

[  ]

A. has no smell   B. is tasteless

C. has vitamins   D. is flavored     

(3)As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats   are similar (相似) because ___________.      

  

[  ]

A. both have the wisdom to choose a balanced diet     

B. both prefer flavored food and drink     

C. both have the same eating patterns     

D. both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors     

(4)In the experiment mentioned in the second paragraph, babies   were _________.

A. given many choices of drinks     

B. provided with various kinds of baby food     

C. placed and fed in a cafeteria     

D. trained to select a balanced diet     

(5)According to the passage, adults' (成年人) eating habits differ   from those of babies because ____________.    

  

[  ]

A. adults know better than babies what kinds of food are good for their health     

B. adults usually cannot resist the temptation of various delicious foods     

C. adults' eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customs     

D. adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns

  PITTSBURGH-For most people, snakes seem unpleasant or even threatening.But Howie Choset sees in their delicate movements a way to save lives.

  The 37-year-old Carnegie Mellon University professor has spent years developing snake-like robots he hopes will eventually slide through fallen buildings in search of victims trapped after natural disasters or other emergencies.

  Dan Kara is president of Robotics Trends, a Northboro, Mass.-based company that publishes an online industry magazine and runs robotics trade shows.He said there are other snake-like robots being developed, mainly at universities, but didn’t know of one that could climb pipes.

  The Carnegie Mellon machines are designed to carry cameras and electronic sensors and can be controlled with a joystick(操縱桿).They move smoothly with the help of small electric motors, or servos, commonly used by hobbyists in model airplanes.

  Built from lightweight materials, the robots are about the size of a human arm or smaller.They can sense which way is up, but are only as good as their human operators, Choset added.

  Sam Stover, a search term manager with the Federal Emergency Management Agency based in Indiana, said snake-type robots would offer greater mobility than equipment currently available, such as cameras attached to extendable roles.

  “It just allows us to do something we’ve ot been able to do before, ” Stover said, “We needed them yesterday.”

  He said sniffer dogs are still the best search tool for rescue workers, but that they can only be used effectively when workers have access to damaged building.

  Stover, among the rescue workers who handled the aftermath(后果)of Hurricane Katrina, said snake robots would have helped rescuers search flooded houses in that disaster.

  Choset said the robots may not be ready for use for another five to ten years, depending on funding.

(1)

Which institution is responsible for the development of Choset’s robots?

[  ]

A.

Robotics Trends.

B.

Pittsburgh City Council.

C.

Carnegie Mellon University.

D.

Federal Emergency Management Agency.

(2)

Choset believes that his invention _______.

[  ]

A.

can be attached to an electronic arm

B.

can be used by hobbyists in model airplanes

C.

can find victims more quickly than a sniffer dog

D.

can sense its way no better than its operators

(3)

By saying “We needed them yesterday”(Paragraph 7), Stover means that snake-like robots _______.

[  ]

A.

could help handle the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina

B.

would have been put to use in past rescue work

C.

helped rescuers search flooded houses yesterday

D.

were in greater need yesterday than today

(4)

What is the text mainly about?

[  ]

A.

Snake-like robots used in industries.

B.

Snake-like robots made to aid in rescues.

C.

The development of snake-like robots.

D.

The working principles of snake-like robots.
