阅读理解。 Talking Dog: Body LanguageUnderstand what dogs are "saying"
It's important to understand what dogs are saying with their bodies, not only to know your own dog but to
better predict what other dogs are doing.
To really read dog body language takes experience. I encourage you to watch your own dog(s) and others.
Go to the dog park and watch dogs interacting. Watch different body parts (ears, tails, eyes, lips, hair, overall
posture) separately for a while. See if you can predict which body stances (姿态) lead to which activities or
outcomes.
Confidence/Fear
Signs of confidence: erect stance (standing tall), tail up, tail wagging in a slower sweep, ears pricked up (竖
起) or relaxed, direct look; relaxed, smaller pupils (瞳孔).
Signs of fear or concern: lowered stance, tail down or tucked under, tail wagging in a quick, frantic (狂乱
的) buzz; looking away or turning head away to look so that whites of eyes show ("whale eye"); dilated (扩大
的) pupils. Dogs often bark out of fear, in an attempt to keep a distance between themselves and the Big Scary
Thing, especially if they are cornered, fenced in, or on a leash (束缚).
This little puppy is looking confidently at the camera. His tail is up; he looks directly at us with no whites
showing in his eyes, and his ears, though a little hard to see, are pricked forward.
This dog is relaxed and confident, with her tail curled over her back, her ears relaxed, and comfortably
lying down. Her ball is between her feet in a clear sign of possession.
This black lab pup is unsure about the plastic ducky (and maybe the water, too). Notice most of her body
is still on shore while she stretches her neck out to sniff. She's not fearful, just uncertain.
Here she's a lot more confident looking! Her tail is straight up (starting to curl back), and her body is
compacted and one foot is lifted-she's ready for the next move!
This dog is fearful and lacking in confidence. His back is arched with his butt and head lowered, his legs
are bent, his tail is down (though not tucked under his body). He's looking at the thing that's scaring him.
This puppy is clearly fearful and hiding under his person's legs. His head and back are lowered, his ears are
down, and his pupils are dilated (showing red in the camera flash).I would not reach out to this puppy-I would
expect him to back away, growl, and maybe even snap at such an invasion of his space.(Instead, I would use
Calming Signals such as turning sideways, looking away, yawning, touching the ground in an imitation of dog
sniffing, and if the dog seems to relax I might hold my hand out to a neutral space between us for him to sniff).
If playing dogs get too aroused, you might want to intervene. If your dog is getting overwhelmed or is
overwhelming someone else, invite them to take a short break. No punishment is necessary. 【个性思考】 In what other ways do you think a dog can show his feelings?

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解。 Talk.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。日常生活类阅读
日常生活类阅读的概念：
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。
日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：
【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
