8、ur.B(2021浙江台州二模)Ever wondered if dogs can learn new words? Yes, say researchers as they have found that talented dogs may have the ability to grasp new words after hearing them only four times.While previous evidence seems to show that most dogs do not learn words, unless eventually very well traine
9、d, a few individuals have shown some extraordinary abilities, according to a study published in the journal Scientific Reports.“We wanted to know under which conditions the gifted dogs may learn novel words,” said researcher Claudia Fugazza from a university in Hungary. For the study, the team invol
10、ved two gifted dogs, Whisky and Vicky Nina. The team exposed the dogs to the new words in two different conditions.In the exclusion-based task, presented with seven known toys and one new toy, the dogs were able to select the new toy when presented with a new name. Researchers say this proves that d
11、ogs can choose by exclusioni.e., excluding all the other toys because they already have a name, and selecting the only one that does not.However, this was not the way they would learn the name of the toy. In fact, when they were presented with one more equally new name to test their ability to recog
12、nise the toy by its name, the dogs got totally confused and failed.The other condition, the social one, where the dogs played with their owners who pronounced the name of the toy while they were playing with the dog, proved to be the successful way to learn the name of the toy, even after hearing it
13、 only four times. “The rapid learning that we observed seems to equal childrens ability to learn many new words at a fast rate around the age of 18 months,” Fugazza says. “But we do not know whether the learning mechanisms(机制) behind this learning are the same for humans and dogs.”To test whether mo
14、st dogs would learn words this way, 20 other dogs were tested in the same condition, but none of them showed any evidence of learning the toy names, confirming that the ability to learn words rapidly in the absence of formal training is very rare and is only present in a few gifted dogs.4.What was t

Heres what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote:“It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth.” Thomas Jefferson:“Walking is the best possible exercise.” Charles Dickens:“If I could not walk far and fast, I think I should just explode and perish.”Researchers have found quite a lot of connection
28、s between walking and producing ideas. A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting.

Being inside, youre more likely to be lifeless, which means you dont have enough energy to wonder or create.So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking?

35、 important decisions such as whether to apply for a new job or start a new course. 16 The more we can test our limits and abilities, the more we will learn about ourselves. New challenges are opportunities for us.17Rather than seeing the opportunity, often, we focus on what it will be like to fail.
36、As a result, taking on a new challenge can be frightening. In these cases, we may avoid the challenge altogether and carry on going down the same path we were on.We make some excuses to ourselves so that we can stay in our comfort zone. 18 By avoiding challenges, we dont have the opportunities to le

We are troubled by discomfort, anxiety, and the sense that things are not quite right.There are times when we might want to avoid a challenge for good, realistic reasons. Perhaps, deep down, we are frightened of what other people might say and of what we might l
38、earn about ourselves. But instead of acknowledging that, we tell ourselves that now is not a good time, or that this isnt the right opportunity. 19To lead a true life, we need to take on new challenges that give us more opportunities to be ourselves. It is not that authentic people dont feel the sam
