4．Can dogs and cats get along well in the same home？People who are thinking about getting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight．A recent research has found that if the cat is taken back home before the dog，and if they are introduced when still young （less than 6months for cats，a year for dogs），it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly．In two-thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship．
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（好斗） and fighting were found in 10% of the homes．One reason for this is probably that some of their body languages are just different．For example，when a cat turns its head away it means aggression，while a dog doing the same means submission（顺从）．
In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully，researchers found 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 become smarter．They can learn to read each other's body languages，suggesting that the two may have more in common than was expected．Once familiar with each other's body language，cats and dogs can play together，and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa．
The importance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets-to people who don't get along well，including neighbors，colleagues at work，and even countries．If cats and dogs can learn to get along，surely people have a good chance．

3．In April，2013，I visited Yangzhou．
Ge Garden is very beautiful and peaceful．The ticket has a map on the back of it that I didn't noticed until I had already left．But to be honest，I don't think that map is very useful because it isn't very clear and detailed．In my opinion，it's better to improve it．Compared with Ge Garden，the map on the back of the ticket for He Garden is much clearer，more detailed and more useful．However，in the room that has the picture of the family members，there is only Chinese，no English，so my advice is to add English in interesting places．I got lost in the Slender West Lake．I spent about 30minutes just trying to get out of one area．I think they need more signs posted along the roadsides．I like the Slender West Lake best，as she is so pretty!The ladies that were sweeping were very kind and sweet．They always smiled at me and said hello，so it was nice．
Taking a taxi is the most efficient（有效率的） and quickest way to get around Yangzhou．I din't have a problem getting to the places which I'd like to go to while using a taxi．The driver was very friendly．The fare isn't too high，either．But I didn't enjoy taking the bus．The bus ride to the Mastixia Bay （茱萸湾公园） took long although I only had to pay one yuan．It was also hard finding where Bus 32was．I tried asking some people in English but they couldn't understand me，so I had to ask in simple Chinese that I only know buying that still didn't work．I spent about one hour walking around the city to look for Bus 32．The tricycle（三轮车） was nice，but it was a little too expensive for a small distance．Maybe I was ripped off by the guy who rode for me，but it was an enjoyable ride．I felt like I was part of the garden city more．
Over all I am satisfied with Yangzhou and will recommend it to others．

1．We've talked about snails （蜗牛） and their slow move．But much of the time snails don't move at all．They are in their shells （壳）-sleeping．
Hot sun will dry out a snail's body．So at the least sign of hot sun，a snail draws its body into his shell．A snail will die in a heavy rain．So when it rains，a snail does the same thing，too．A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to．It spends all the winter months in its shell，asleep．
In spring the snail wakes up．Its body，about three inches long，comes out from the shell．When hungry，the snail looks for food．Its eyes，at the end of the top feelers （触角），are very weak．But its sense of smell is very strong．It helps the snail to find food and the new greens．
A snail's mouth is no bigger than the point of a pin （大头针）．Yet it has 256，000teeth!The teeth are very small，and you can't see them．If you put a snail in a hard paper box，it will eat its way out!And if a snail wears out its teeth，it will grow new ones．

19．If you need to call your parents but your phone is not with you，can you remember their numbers？
To remember 11numbers is not difficult．However，because of the smartphone．many of us are losing this ability．What's more，smartphones weaken （削弱） our skills at giving directions，as well as killing face-to-face communications．Even when friends are having a meal together，it's common for most to check their phones．
According to a report by Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers，an American company，Chinese people spend about 170minutes on their smartphones daily．
Many students are addicted to using smartphones．It does no good to their study．Research by Japan's Education Ministry showed children who spend more than four hours a day on their phones perform much worse in school test than those who play with their phones for 30minutes．
It's true that the smartphone has made our lives easier．But many also think they spend too much time on it，and this is bad for their study or work．People are trying to change that．
A new app （应用软件） called Forest was introduced this month．It lets users plant a seed that grows into a tree over the next 30minutes．During the half hour，users cannot use their phones，or the tree will die．

17．Have you ever stayed in a hotel？Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable（一次性的）toothbrushes，toothpaste，shampoo and slippers．Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own．But，if you travel to Beijing，remember to bring your own things．Starting from June，some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables．They want to ask people to use less disposable things．
Many disposable things are made of plastic．People throw them away after only using them once．It is a waste of natural resources（资源）and is very bad for the environment．Do you know，one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year!Most of that waste comes from disposable things．In Beijing，people throw away about 19，000tons of plastic bags and 1，320tons of plastic lunch bowls every year!Plastic can take between 100and 400years to break down．So the less plastic we throw out，the better．So，wherever you travel，bring your own things and use them again and again．
Back at home and school，you can also do something to make our world a better place．Try to do these things in your daily life：Use cloth shopping bags，not plastic ones．After using a plastic bag，wash it out and let it dry．Then you can use it over and over again．Do not use paper cups．At your school canteen（食堂），use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones．
