Question

　　First-time dog owners may encounter many problems getting to know and train their pets. Sometimes a puppy, or even an older dog, will chew their fingers or bite them. Even in play, this can really hurt. Unfortunately, many pet owners tolerate this in a young dog. However when the dog gets larger, it is not fun to be bitten by it. Training a dog never to place his teeth on human skin or clothing is an important lesson. From now on, if you feel your dog's teeth while you are playing with him, say “ouch” in a loud voice and move away from him. He will soon learn that when he bites, you will not play with him any more.

    Another bad habit that many people tolerate in their pets is allowing them to bite and hold on to clothing. Don't let your dog do this to you. When he does something you want him to do, praise him and tell him he's a good dog. You can also give him a treat at the same time he performs the good behavior. Eventually he will learn which kind of behavior is acceptable and which is not. Remember that reward is more effective than punishment. If you reward your dog when he does what you want him to, he will become very well behaved. Also remember that puppies need to chew on something. So give him a sock with a knot tied in it or an old shoe. If he chews the wrong thing, take it away while saying “No” and give him something he can chew. If dogs are trained well, they will truly be your friends for a lifetime.

Answer 1

答案：B;D;C;B
解析：

1．B。文章的第一段教大家如何训练狗改掉咬人的坏毛病；第二段告诉大家如何训练狗改掉爱咬衣物的毛病。由此可以看出，通过这篇文章，作者要告诉大家如何让自己的宠物养成好习惯。     2．D。第一段中有这样的句子“Unfortunately，many pet owners tolerate this in a young dog．”第二段中提到“Another bad habit that many people tolerate in their pets is．．．”由此可以看出，许多人对自己的宠物过于宽容，使宠物养成了坏毛病。     3．C。纵观全文，选项A、B、D的内容都在文章中有所体现，是真实的。第一段中提到“if you feel your dog's teeth while you are playing with him，say ‘ouch’ in aloud voice and move away from him．”这样，狗就知道它做错了，以后就可以改正。选项C的内容与之相悖，是不真实的。     4．B。第二段提到“Remember that reward is more effective than punishment．If you reward your dog when he does what you want him to，he will become very well behaved．”可见，经常给狗奖励和表扬要比惩罚有效，是一种好的训练方法。
