1 It might understand more than you think.
A dog named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects,say researchers in Germany. 2 Its word-1earning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee.
In one experiment,the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. 3 In the 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. 4 .
The correct object was chosen in seven out of 10 tests.suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of removing.A month 1ater,Rico remembered half of the new names,which is even more impressive.
5 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!

76 Spanish people drink coca cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music, and eat fast food, and they do all these things daily.
I think that Aerican movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the entertainment programs and documentaries we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to are made in Hollywood.
77 Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from country of the European Community.
American culture is very much a part of Spanish life. It's certain that many things from America are as much a part of their lives as Spanish things. For example, coca cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. 78
However, it’s different with western fast food. For example, I don’t think McDonald’s is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the life style of the Spanish people 79
On the other hand, it may be that McDonald’s hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. It’s true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald’s, and they are more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults. 80
| A.In any case, it’s obvious that American culture is more and more a part of our lives every day. |
| B.The Spanish peopl |
| C.I’ve known coca cola my whole life. |
| D. The spanish people normally eat at home |
F. In the past few years, the government has tried to protect Spanish movies.
G. The influence of America is increasing in my country.

Our Fears Can Change the Reality of the Situation
At times, our worries and anxieties can defeat us. In addition, our worried can change our understanding of what is reality and what is not. Here is a brief list of techniques that you can use to help gain a better viewpoint on things during your anxious moments.

member that our fearful thoughts
are made to seem worse and can make the problem worse. 2 When unexpectedly having thoughts that make you fearful or anxious, challenge those thoughts by asking yourself questions that will maintain objectivity and common sense.

It is not easy to deal with all of our fears and worries. When your fears and anxieties have the best of you, try to calm down and then get the facts of the situation. The key is to take it show. All you can do is do your best each day, hope for the best, and when something does happen, take it easy. 5
