Dogs are known for their sense of smell. They can find missing people and things. Now a study shows that the animal can even find bladder cancer (膀胱癌).
Cancer cells can produce chemicals with unusual smells. Scientists think dogs have the ability to smell these smells, even in very small amounts, in urine (尿).
For example, a dog showed great interest in the growth of its owner’s legs. The man was later found to have skin cancer. Carolyn Willis and some scientists trained different kinds of dogs for the experiment. The study used urine collected from bladder cancer patients (病人), from people with other diseases and from healthy people. Each dog was tested 8 times. In each test there were 7 examples for the dog to smell. The dog should show the one from a bladder cancer patient by lying down next to it.
Their results later appeared on the British Medical Journal. In all, 36 bladder cancer patients and 108 other people attended. During the training, all the dogs even found cancer in a person who had been tested healthy before the study. Carolyn Willis said dogs could help scientists find the chemicals produced by bladder cancer. The information could then be used to develop machines to test for the chemicals. The team also plans to use dogs to help find other kinds of cancer.

Born in 1942, Allende's family often moved during her childhood. She went to school in South America, Europe, and Asia. As a young woman, she became a journalist in Santiago, Chile's capital city.

Then she got a phone call from Chile. Her grandfather was dying. She knew she could not return home to be with him, but she wanted to respect him in some way. "I decided to write a letter about all the things he told us when we were young," Allende explained. Later, she wrote a long letter which became Allende's first novel, The House of the Spirits.
The Writing Life
"I spent ten to twelve hours a day in a room writing," Allende said, "I didn't talk to anybody; I didn't answer the phone." When she finished the first draft of a new novel, Allende mailed a copy to her strictest critic(评论家)."I sent it to my mother. She read it and came here with a red pen. We fought for a month at least." Allende then went back to work until she felt the book was finished. "Storytelling is the fun part," she said. "Writing can be a lot of work!"
