Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.

However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression(侵略，攻击性) and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away , it signals aggression , while a dog doing the same signals submission(屈服，顺从).

In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk ‘Dog’, and dogs can learn how to talk ‘Cat’.

What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected. Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.

The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets ─ to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.

[1] The Canadian scientists say that getting older really does make one wiser. The over-55s use their brains more efficiently (高效率地) than younger people, as they are much more likely to get rid of mistakes. Younger people, ________, give the impression of being sharper, simply by coming up with answers more quickly. But this may be a sign of inexperience rather than wisdom.

[2] According to their experiment on sorting words into pairs, scientists found surprising differences between the brains of the older and younger participants when they made a mistake. To the younger ones, the mistake immediately activated(激活) several different parts of the brain to help them decide what to do next. The older people, however, didn’t start thinking about what they were going to do until the game restarted.

[3] Dr Oury Monchi said, “When the young participants made a mistake and had to plan and take a new measure to get the right answer, various parts of their brains were used even before the next task began. However, when the older participants learned that they had a mistake, they decided to make adjustments(调整) only when completely necessary. The older brain had experience and knew that nothing was gained by taking action too soon.”

[4] Dr Monchi compared the results to Aesop’s fable of the tortoise and the hare, saying, “Being able to run fast does not always win the race --you have to know how to best use your abilities.” This saying is a defining characteristic of ageing. It is as though the older brain is more unaffected to criticism and more confident than the young brain. Overall, the older group, who were aged between 55 and 75, took longer to complete the game but did roughly as well as those aged 18 to 35.
