Dogs may not know exactly what you are doing especially when you’re trying to figure out a square root or diagram a sentence. But according to a new study, dogs can understand what we’re thinking and feeling by reading our facial expressions and body language and following our eyes.
Researchers studied 29 dogs. The dogs were shown a movie where a woman looked directly at them and said “Hi dog!” Then, the woman looked at a flowerpot sitting next to her. The researchers found that when the woman looked at and spoke directly to a dog, the dog usually followed her eyes to the flowerpot. It proved that the dogs knew that the woman was thinking about the flowerpot.
“By following the eye movements of dogs, we were able to get a first-hand look at how their minds are actually working,” said Jozsef, the senior researcher.
Later in the movie, the woman said “Hi dogs” in a low voice and didn’t look at the dog before looking at the flowerpot. In that situation, the dogs didn’t seem to understand what the woman was thinking. There was no eye contact, and the woman didn’t appear to speak to the dogs directly.
That comes as no surprise to dog trainer Jones. “Dogs normally speak through nonverbal signals. It’s more natural to them,” she said. “If you’ve ever watched dogs at a dog park, you’ve seen it. Within 30 seconds they enter the park, much information has passed between the new dog and the ones already in the park. They’re exchanging looks, observing eyes and body posture. On the other hand, when you speak to a dog, they are learning a foreign language.”
Picking up your nonverbal signals seems more natural. So, if you were hoping that all this means your dog could help you solve your math problems, you’re probably out of luck. But he or she might be a lot more in tune with what you’re thinking than you previously thought.

Almost every child is scared of something,from monsters in the cupboard to dogs in the park.But the fact that such fears are common and normal doesn’t mean they can be taken lightly.Kids experience fears and phobias(恐惧症) much more strongly than adults.And the influence of the fear can be physical as well as psychological(心理的).It can build up so they almost seem scared of everything—a kind of childhood anxiety.Dr.Creswell says:“Your child may always seem to expect the worst to happen and lack confidence in his or her ability to deal with any challenge.”So don’t make the same old mistake of treating them as if they’re silly for being a “scaredy cat”.Handling the fears is essential.

Children can be born nervous and,if you have such a baby,you’ll tend to prevent them from getting worried.So if they fear dogs,you’ll keep them away from dogs,but in fact that can just confirm to the child that dogs are scary.What is worse,keeping your child away from what they fear can turn that feeling into a phobia.Instead,you should encourage them to get in touch with the thing they fear,in a safe and supportive environment.Dr.Andy Field,a researcher of childhood fears,says:“You shouldn’t force,for example,a dog—anxious child to go up to a dog.But you can approach it yourself,show them there is nothing to be afraid of,stroke(抚摸) it,and talk about the dog being friendly.Once your child dares to stroke a dog—one that’s good with children,of course—then you should encourage them to carry on until they feel calmer,and reward them for ‘being brave’.”

1.Children’s fears are usually taken lightly because ______.

A.they will not develop into phobias

B.their influence is psychological

C.they exist widely in the world

D.they will disappear gradually

2.If we fail to help children to overcome fears,they will ______.

A.make the same old mistake

B.overcome them by themselves

C.experience the worst of things

D.grow up lacking self-confidence

3.According to Dr.Andy Field,if a child is afraid of a cat,parents should ______.

A.tell the child not to be afraid of it

B.show the child how to approach it

C.keep the child away from it

D.ask the child to stoke it
