Before raising our dog, I used to believe some people I met were “masters of nonverbal communication”, for they were extremely skilled at reading others’ body language. But soon I realized that my family dog was much better at this.
Our golden retriever(金毛寻回犬) sleeps in our bedroom. Although she appears to be in a deep sleep, the sound of moves in our bed causes her to look up, and listen. She can actually distinguish from sound and body movement, whether I am getting up to go to the bathroom or getting out of bed to start the day.
Dogs are closely attuned to sounds. Our dog appears in the kitchen each time I open the fridge or her treat jar. She arrives when I open the kitchen drawer to take out the can opener. When my wife is not feeling well or is sad the dog comes and lies down beside her out of concern. The dog can tell if we are annoyed at her or if we are about to reward her or give her love.
Why are dogs so good at reading body language They have sharp senses that give them an advantage over humans, and they also get a lot more practice. So an important body language lesson from your dog is practice. Make it a habit to improve your nonverbal communication skills, and work at it. Observe people interacting and see if you can tell, from their body language alone, what they are talking about, what they are feeling, and what their relationship is. Watch a TV show with the sound off and see if you can figure out what’s going on.
Realize that developing nonverbal communication skills is hard work. Your dog has been doing it all its life.
4. What does the underlined word “attuned” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Afraid. B. Particular. C. Addicted. D. Familiar.
5. How does the author’s dog react when a family member appears uncomfortable
A. She feels very sad. B. She gets them food.
C She accompanies them. D. She makes soft sounds.
6. What is the author’s advice on improving nonverbal communication skills
A. Sharpen people’s senses. B. Communicate more with pets.
C Take some professional lessons. D. Observe carefully and practice distinguishing.
C
I’ve always found that hiking in nature makes me feel happier, and of course decreased stress may be a big part of the reason why. But, Gregory Bratman, of Stanford University, has found evidence that nature may impact our mood (心情) in other ways, too.
In one 2015 study, Bratman and his colleagues chose 60 volunteers to take a 50-minute walk in either a natural setting or an urban setting. Before and after the walk, the volunteers were assessed on their emotional state and on cognitive (认知的) measures, such as how well they could perform tasks requiring short-term memory. Results showed that those who walked in nature experienced less anxiety and rumination (focused attention on unsatisfying side of oneself), as well as more positive emotions, in comparison to the urban walkers. They also improved their performance on the memory tasks.
In another study in 2017, he and his colleagues furthered these findings by focusing on how walking in nature affects rumination—which has been associated with the onset of anxiety—while also using fMRI technology to look at brain activity. Volunteers who took a 90-minute walk in either a natural setting or an urban setting had their brains scanned (扫描) before and after their walks and were surveyed on self-reported rumination levels.
Even so, volunteers who walked in a natural setting reported decreased rumination after the walk, and they showed increased activity in the subgenual prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain whose inactivity is related to depression and anxiety—a finding that suggests nature may have important impacts on mood.
Bratman believes results like these need to reach city planners and others whose decisions impact our natural spaces. “Ecosystem services are being included into decision making at all levels of public policy, land use planning, and urban design, and it’s very important to be sure to include findings from psychology into these decisions,” he says.
7. What did the 2015 study find about people walking in nature
A. Their memory was improved.
B. Their mood remained the same.
C. They had more chance to succeed.
D. They preferred living in a natural setting.
8. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. Bratman’s theory. B. The results of the 2017 study.
C. The process of the 2017 study. D. The volunteers’ performance.
9. What does Bratman think the study results should be applied to
A. House designing. B. City planning.
C. Physical training. D. Health education.
10. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Science Contributes to Better Health
B. Ways to Reduce Stress and Lift Mood
C. Studies Show Various Benefits of Hiking
D. Nature Makes You Happier and Less Anxious

Yours sincerely,
