Do dogs understand us?
Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.
A border collie博德牧羊犬 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 the 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!

We have completed our first month of preschool. Matthew seems to 26  it. He is catching on to the routine quite nicely. I didn’t leave him there 27  much the first couple weeks. I am finding if I’m not there he behaves much better.
In this class a little German boy, who does not speak  28 ，cried all the time at first and now cries occasionally.
The Monday of the second week the little fellow just cried and cried. He was sitting  29  Matthew. I thought Matthew was going to start  30  and join in. I stood by and watched, ready for the rescue. Matthew kept turning around and  31  the boy. Then he reached his hand back and  32  him on the leg. He was comforting the boy! Later Matthew was playing with a  33  and the boy with blocks. Actually he was just standing by and crying. Matthew drove his truck over to the blocks,  34  it, picked up a few of the blocks and started handing them to  35 . They then together started 36  towers on the table and the little boy  37  crying．It seemed  38  Matthew knew what the little guy needed．Here was the little guy，who can’t speak English，and Matthew，who  39  playing together，like they were best  40 .
One of the days when I stayed，they were at lunch and Matthew was  41  at the table. I pulled up a chair to sit next to him．He smiled，then grabbed his book bag and took off running  42  the cafeteria．I took off after him．When we reached the wall he just giggled (咯咯笑)，turned around and looked at me． I bent  43  to blame him for leaving his seat and running. He suddenly  44  a big wet kiss right on my cheek and smiled at me．All I could do was to take his hand and  45  him back to his seat．Then I turned my back and couldn’t help laughing.
