It's fourteen years since I left the Philippines to live with my family in the USA. A month ago, while on summer vacation back in my motherland, I learned a lesson from mosquito (蚊子) bites. Right before    16   Kennedy Airport in New York, my grandma   17   me of the behavior of the native mosquitoes around the   18   like me. She said, "There's an old saying—the   19   you stay away from the motherland, the sweeter your blood   20   to the mosquitoes. " Not   21   it, I replied, "Grandma, that's just an old wives' tale!" 

Well, less than a week   22   my arrival in Manila, I was already carpeted with a   23   of mosquito bites. I took many measures to keep myself from being   24   , but they all proved useless.

Late one   25   in my cousin's home, I couldn't bear the   26   of the bites. Hoping to find some comfort, I   27   my cousin, who was sleeping peacefully in the bed next to mine. Unhappy for being   28    she said, "There is nothing you can do. Go back to sleep. "  With a few turns, she slept again. Enviously (妒嫉地)   29   her sleep, I hoped a big mosquito would   30   on her face.  However, the mosquitoes would just lightly dance around her forehead and fly away quickly, never biting her. Amazed (惊奇的), I ran to others'   31   , only to find they were all sleeping  32   as the same thing occurred again and again.

From those bites, I came to   33   my grandma's silly tale. From then on, I've always tried to keep a(n)  34   mind about those strange old wives' tales   35   they do have some truth to them.

[3] Some experts studying human happiness and the factors that contribute to it have identified several key areas of life that seem to be more related to personal happiness.Some of them are the things like money, friends, health and living conditions; others are things you may not think of in your daily life, such as your neighborhood and sense of meaning in life.

Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 into Chinese.

Do dogs understand us?

Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.

A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩).

In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.

In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.

The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.          

Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.

It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!
