You may laugh when you see dog owners talk to their pets as though they were human. Although dogs cannot speak a human language, they seem to understand how you feel. Sounds strange? Now scientists have found that dog and human brains deal with sound and emotion(情感)in a similar way. This may help to explain the language problem.

To compare human and dog brains, a scientist called Attila Antics and his team tested 11dogs and

22 humans. Both group listened to almost 200 dogs and human sounds. From crying to laughter and playful barking(吠). At the same time, the team scanned(扫描)both group’s brain activity.

The scientists found that a similar part in both brains was activated(激活)when animals ad people heard human voices and emotional sounds, such as crying and laughter. Also, emotional dog voices, such as angry barking also caused a similar action from human and dog volunteers.

We know very well that dogs are good at tuning(和..协调)into the feeling of their owners, and we know a good dog owner can find emotional changes in their dog. But we now begin to understand that this similarity may help to explain this can be. So next time when you see dog owners talk to their pets, don’t laugh. Maybe they are really “talking”.

How do you feel when you have to make a speech(演讲) in front of class? What about when you go to a birthday party? Do you get really shy?

Shyness means feeling nervous or frightened when you’re around other people. Experts (专家) have found that more than 80 percent of middle school students feel afraid to be the centre of attention. Some kids are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences.

It’s OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people. In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It’s just a case of how much.

Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some become so shy that they won’t go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay the bill (账单). Some are afraid of meeting new people, so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.

If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a very big problem. Some experts say shy people are quieter and cleverer because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people. Some great people in history were shy, too.

You see, being shy isn’t all bad. But remember not to let good chances pass by just because of it! If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practise your spoken English in front of others, just do it! There’s nothing to be afraid of.

I would like to talk to you about space vegetables, and to show you that space vegetables are healthy and good for you.

Space vegetables are grown from seeds(种子) that have been taken to and brought back from outer space. The seeds are affected by radiation and low gravity in outer space. When they are brought back to the Earth, these seeds produce vegetables that are bigger, healthier and more nutritious (有营养的)than normal vegetables. However, some people worry about eating space vegetables. They think that space vegetables might not be good for us and could give us cancer as a result of their exposure (暴露)to radiation in space. People should not be scared, as space vegetables are actually perfectly healthy.

Here are some facts that you should know about space vegetables:

Space vegetables are grown from seeds that are carefully selected. When seeds are brought back from space, they are tested to make sure that the vegetables they grow will be safe to eat. There are no traces of radiation after testing.

Space vegetables are better for you than normal vegetables. For example, space tomatoes stay fresh for twenty days, which is one week longer than normal tomatoes. Another popular space vegetable is the pepper(辣椒). Space peppers contain 20 per cent more Vitamin C than normal peppers.

After genetically modified(改进的) foods come onto the market, people worry that they are eating unknown things. For example, if nut genes are put inside potatoes, people allergic(对...过敏) to nuts might get very sick from eating these potatoes because they do not know they are also eating nuts. Unlike genetically modified foods, space vegetables have not been genetically changed. This means that no new genes are put into the vegetables. Therefore, they won’t damage your health.

It's dangerous to laugh when you are chewing gum (嚼口香糖) . You may choke (噎住) on the gum. This happened to Allyson Golden, a 12-year-old girl from the US. However, she was lucky because her friend Miriam Starobin saved her with something she learned from the cartoon Sponge Bob Squarepants (《海绵宝宝》).

The two girls were in music class. Their teacher said something funny and the students began to laugh hard. Suddenly, Golden choked as the gum got stuck in her throat.

Golden said it was the most terrible moment of her life. “Suddenly I couldn't laugh anymore. I couldn't breathe,” she said.

When Starobin saw Golden's face turn purple, she thought back to Sponge Bob. In one episode (集) of the show, Sponge Bob uses the Heimlich maneuver (海姆利克氏操作法) . In this maneuver, you push on the area below a person's chest (胸腔) to force air up his or her throat and stop them from choking. Starobin pulled Golden off the ground and did the Heimlich three or four times until the gum flew out from her mouth.

When she realized what her friend had done, Golden gave Starobin a big hug and said, “You just saved my life. I owe you big time.”

Their head teacher, Audrey Goropeuschek, is proud of her student. She said Starobin is a hero.

However, Starobin didn't think that she was a hero. “Heroes are people who even give their lives to save others,”she said. “I just did something that anyone could if they tried. ”
