26、d studies on dog intelligence and compared them with research into the minds of other intelligent animals. The researchers found that dogs are among the more intelligent carnivores ( 食肉动物 ), social hunters and domestic animals, but that their intelligence does not 26 other intelligent animals in any
27、 of those categories. Though a significant body of research hasexamined dog cognition 27 , the authors of this new study found little to warrant the 28 of work that has been devoted to the topic.Stephen Lea, lead author of the new study, argues that many researchers seem to have designed their studi
28、es to 29 how clever dogs are, rather than simply to study dogs brains. Lea and a colleague examined more than 300 studies of dog cognition, comparing the studies results with those from research into other animals. The researchers made specific comparisons between the different species in different
29、categories of intelligence. These comparisons 30 that dogs are intelligent, but their intelligence is not as 31 as some researchers might have believed.In many areas, though, comparisons were not possible. For example, the researchers noted that both dogs and cats are known to be able to recognize a
30、nd 32 human voices. But the investigators could not find any data to indicate which species can remember a greater number of 33 human voices, so it was impossible to compare the two on that front. However, not all researchers agree 34 with the findings of this study. Zachary Silver, an American rese
31、archer, believes the authors of the new study 35 the idea that an excessive amount of research has been devoted to dogs, as the field of dog cognition is young, and there is much to be learned about how dogs think.A) affirmedB) approximatelyC) completelyD) differentiateE) distinctF) domainG) formida

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from whic
33、h the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by making the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The lifesaving power of gratitudeA) Gratitude may be more beneficial than we commonly suppose. One recent study a
34、sked participants to write a note of thanks to someone and then estimate how surprised and happy the recipient would feelan impact that they consistently underestimated. Another study assessed the health benefits of writing thank-you notes. The researchers found that writing as few as three weekly t
35、hank-you notes over the course of three weeks improved life satisfaction, increased happy feelings and reduced symptoms of depression.B) While this research into gratitude is relatively new, the principles involved are anything but. Students of mine in a political philosophy course at Indiana Univer
36、sity are reading Daniel Defoes 300-year-old Robinson Crusoe, often regarded as the first novel published in English. Left alone on an unknown island with no apparent prospect of rescue or escape, Crusoe has much to lament (悲). But instead of giving in to despair, he makes a list of things for which
37、he is grateful, including the fact that he is the sole survivor from the shipwreck (海难) and has been able to salvage many useful items from the wreckage.C) Defoes masterpiece, which is often ranked as one of the worlds greatest novels, provides a portrait of gratitude in action that is as timely and
38、 relevant today as it has ever been. It is also one with which contemporary psychology and medicine are just beginning to catch up. Simply put, for most of us, it is far more helpful to focus on the things in life for which we can express gratitude than those that incline us toward resentment and la
39、mentation.D) When we focus on the things we regret, such as failed relationships, family disputes, and setbacks in career and finance, we tend to become more regretful. Conversely, when we focus on the things we are grateful for, a greater sense of happiness tends to spread through our lives. And wh
40、ile no one would argue for cultivating a false sense of blessedness, there is mounting evidence that counting our blessings is one of the best habits we can develop to promote mental and physical health.E) Gratitude has long enjoyed a privileged position in many of the worlds cultural traditions. Fo
41、r example, some ancient Western philosophers counsel gratitude that is both enduring and complete, and some Eastern thinkers portray it as not merely an attitude but a virtue to be put into practice.F) Recent scientific studies support these ancient teachings. Individuals who regularly engage in gra
42、titude exercises, such as counting their blessings or expressing gratitude to others, exhibit increased satisfaction with relationships and fewer symptoms of physical illness. And the benefits are not only psychological and physical. They may also be moralthose who practice gratitude also view their
43、 lives less materialistically and suffer from less envy.G) There are multiple explanations for such benefits of gratefulness. One is the fact that expressing gratitude encourages others to continue being generous, thus promoting a virtuous cycle of goodness in relationships. Similarly, grateful peop
44、le may be more likely to reciprocate (回报) with acts of kindness of their own. Broadly speaking, a community in which people feel grateful to one another is likely to be a more pleasant place to live than one characterized by mutual suspicion and resentment. The beneficial effects of gratitude may ex
45、tend even further. For example, when many people feel good about what someone else has done for them, they experience a sense of being lifted up, with a corresponding enhancement of their regard for humanity. Some are inspired to attempt to become better people themselves, doing more to help bring o
46、ut the best in others and bringing more goodness into the world around them.H) Gratitude also tends to strengthen a sense of connection with others. When people want to do good things that inspire gratitude, the level of dedication in relationships tends to grow and relationships seem to last longer
47、. And when people feel more connected, they are more likely to choose to spend their time with one another and demonstrate their feelings of affection in daily acts.I) Of course, acts of kindness can also foster discomfort. For example, if people feel they are not worthy of kindness or suspect that
48、some ulterior (别有用心的) motive lies behind it, the benefits of gratitude will not be realized. Likewise, receiving a kindness can give rise to a sense of indebtedness, leaving beneficiaries feeling that they must now pay back whatever good they have received. Gratitude can flourish only if people are secure enough in themselves and sufficiently trusting to allow it to do so. Another obstacle to gratitude is often called a sense of entitlement. Instead of experiencin
