22、 for the Benefits of HumansDogs make puppy dog eyes for the benefit of humans and rarely use the pleasing facial expression when on their own, a new study has shown.It has long been assumed that animal facial expressions are involuntary and dependent on emotional state rather than a way to communica
23、te.But scientists at the Universitys Dog Cognition Centre at Portsmouth University have found that dogs mostly use facial expressions when humans are present, as a direct response to attention. Puppy dog eyes, in which the 31 is raised to make the eyes appear wider and sadder, was found to be the mo
24、st 32 used expression in the study. Researchers do not know whether the dogs are aware they look sadder, or have just learned that widening their eyes invites 33 and affection in humans.Dog cognition expert Dr Juliane Kaminski: “We can now be 34 that the production of facial expressions made by dogs
25、 are dependent on the attention state of their audience and are notjust a result of dogs being excited.”“In our study they produced far more expressions when someone was watching, but seeing food 35 did not have the same effect.”“The findings appear to support evidence dogs are 36 to humans attentio
26、n and that expressions are 37 active attempts to communicate, not simple emotional displays.” The researchers studied 24 dogs of various breeds, aged one to 12. All were family pets. Each dog was tied by a lead a metre away from a person, and the dogs faces were 38 throughout a rangeof exchanges, fr
27、om the person being oriented towards the dog, to being distracted and with her body turned away from the dog.They found that when a human was not watching the animal, they 39 expressions.facialDr Kaminski said it is possible that dogs expressions have evolved as they were 40 . “Domestic dogs have a
28、unique history they have lived alongside humans for 30,000 years and during that time selection pressures seem to have acted on dogs ability to communicate with us, ”she said. Reading comprehension（45 分）Section ADirections：For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases mark
29、ed A, B, C, and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.When I was a child of seven years old, my friends, on a holiday, filled my pocket with coppers. I went at once to a shop where they sold toys for children. Being 41 with the sound of a whistle that I had seen by
30、 the way, in the hands of another boy, I handed over all my money for one. I then came home, and went whistling all over the house, much pleased with my whistle, but 42 all the family. My brothers and sisters and cousins, when I told of the 43 I had made, said I had given four times as much as the w
31、histle was worth. They put me in mind of what good things I might have bought with the rest of the money, and laughed at me somuch for my folly that I cried with vexation( 烦 恼 ). Thinking about the matter gave me more 44 than the whistle gave me pleasure. 45 , this was afterwards of use to me, for t
32、he impression continued on my mind, so that often, when I was 46 to buy something I did not need, I said to myself, “Dont give too much for the whistle, ” and I saved my money. As I grew up, came into the world, and 47 the actions of men, I thought I met with many, very many, who “gave too much for
33、the whistle.”If I knew a miser（守财奴）who 48 every kind of comfortable living, all the pleasure ofdoing good to others, all the esteem of his fellow citizens and the joys of friendship, _49_gathering and keeping wealth- “Poor man,” said I, “ you pay too dear for your whistle.” When I met a man of pleas
34、ure, who did not try to improve his mind or his fortune but_devoted himself to having a good time, perhaps neglecting his health, “ Mistaken man, you are providing 51 for yourself, instead of pleasure; you are paying too dear for your whistle.” If I saw someone fond of 52 who has fine clothes, fine
35、houses, fine furniture, fine earrings, all above his 53 , and for which he had run into debt, and ends his career in a prison. “Alas,” said I, “he has paid dear, very dear, for his whistle.” 54 , the miseries of mankind are largely due to their puffing a(n) 55 value on things - to giving “too much f

40、 Japanese inventor used to create a drink that looks and tastes like coffee.74-year-old Yokitomo Shimotai, a coffee shop owner in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, claims that his unique “garlic coffee” is the result of a cooking blunder he made over 30 years ago, when he burned a steak and garlic while wai
41、ting tables at the same time. Intrigued by the scorched garlics aroma, he mashed it up with a spoon and mixed it with hot water. The resulting drink looked and tasted a lot like coffee. Making a mental note of his discovery, Yokimoto carried on with his job, and only started researching garlic coffe
42、e again after he retired.Committed to turning his weird drink into a commercial product, Yokitomo Shimotai spent years optimizing the formula, and about five years ago, he finally achieved a result he was satisfied with. To make his dissolvable garlic grounds, he roasts the cloves in an electric ove
43、n, and, after theyve cooled off, smashes them into fine particles and packs them in dripbags.“My drink is probably the worlds first of its kind,” the garlic coffee inventor told Kyodo News. “It contains no caffeine so its good for those who would like to drink coffee at night or pregnant women.”“The
44、 bitterness of burned garlic apparently helps create the coffee-like flavor,” Shimotai adds. He claims that, although his garlic coffee does give off an aroma of roasted garlic, it doesnt cause bad breath, because the garlic is thoroughly cooked. And if you can get past the smell, the drink apparent
45、ly does taste a lot like actual coffee.If decaf isnt good enough for you, and youre in the mood for something new, you can tryYokitomo Shimotais garlic coffee at his shop, in the city of Ninohc, Iwate Prefecture, or buy your own dripbags for just 324 yen（$2.8）.56.
