They already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia (痴呆). The duties of these "guide dogs for the mind" will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep at regular intervals. The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks. These could include delivering a bite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it, or waking them up in the morning. The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer"s Scotland and Dogs for the disabled. Joyce Gray of Alzheimer"s Scotland said, "People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine." The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer"s, but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. People light up when they see animals. They don"t need to communicate verbally but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond. The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people.Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks
- A、The students who developed the idea.
- B、The owners of the dogs.
- C、The experts in Alzheimer"s Scotland.
- D、It is not mentioned in the passage.

Leading a dog’s life in America isn’t such a bad thing. Many grocery stores sell pet foods to owners eager to please their pets. In Houston, Texas, dogs can have their dinner delivered to their homes, just like pizza. Well-to-do canines can attend doggy daycare centers while their owners work. Pets can even accompany their owners on vacation. Fancy hotels are beginning to accommodate both man and beast. Furry guests in hotels can enjoy gourmet meals served on fine china and sleep in soft beds.Beneath the furry luxuries, there lies a basic American belief: Pets have a right to be treated well. At least 75 animal welfare organizations exist in America. These provide care and adoption services for homeless and abused animals. Vets can give animals an incredible level of medical care for an incredible price. To pay for the high-tech health care, people can buy health insurance for their pets. And when it’s time to say good -bye, owners can bury their pets in a respectable pet cemetery.The average American enjoys having pets around, and for good reason. Researchers have discovered that interacting with animals lowers a person’s blood pressure. Dogs can offer protection from burglars and unwelcome visitors. Cats can help rid the home of unwanted pests. Little creatures of all shapes and sizes can provide companionship and love. In many cases, having a pet prepares a young couple for the responsibilities of parenthood. Pets even encourage social relationships: They give their owners an appearance of friendliness, and they provide a good topic of conversation.Pets are as basic to American culture as hot dogs or apple pies. To Americans, pets are not just property, but a part of the family. After all, pets are people, too.(1)The word “please” in paragraph 1 line 2 means ().A、to make somebody gladB、to make somebody unhappyC、to invite somebodyD、to treat somebody badly(2)The topic sentence in paragraph 2 is ().A、At least 75 animal welfare organizations exist in AmericaB、Vets can give animals an incredible level of medical care for an incredible priceC、To pay for the high-tech health care, people can buy health insurance for their petsD、Beneath the furry luxuries, there lies a basic American belief: Pets have a right to be treated well(3)“When it’s time to say good-bye” in paragraph 2 line 5 means ().A、when the pet says “good-bye” to the hostB、when the host says “good-bye” to the petC、when the pet diesD、when the pet has to leave(4)Paragraph 3 mainly tells us ().A、every American enjoys having petsB、having pets can do people something goodC、dogs and cats are people’s good friendsD、pets do not encourage social relationships(5)The author writes the last paragraph to show ().A、pets are the same as hot dogs and apple piesB、pets are peopleC、pets are just propertyD、pets are important

We all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all. You will often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone, risking--and at times losing--their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or from the traditional Herding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois--all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazing physical strength, loyalty, and their tendency for mental stability.These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost individuals—and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many different fields, including specialist search, snow slide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength, the dog must be swift, confident, easily trainable, adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力) and endurance. A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during down time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty. Training is not for the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years, working three to four hours a day, three to six days a week, often in group,team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training, for instance, includes air scenting--where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim s scent (气味) and then follow the scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsed buildings and snow slide.40. Rescue dogs are chosen probably because__A.they are loyalB.they are braveC.they have amazing appearancesD.they have good eyesightWhat does "faint-hearted" in Paragraph 5 mean?A.Courageous.B.CowardlyC.EnergeticD.SlowWhich ability is most important for dogs to rescue people trapped in snow?A.Sharp hearingB.Swift movementC.Extraordinary smellingD.A strong memoryWhat is the passage mainly about?A.Selection process of rescue dogsB.Qualities and training of rescue dogs.C.Risks rescue dogs are faced withD.Types of tasks rescue dogs can perform请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析，谢谢！

DScience can't explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer. Any owner will tall you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people - half of them pet owners –while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their ani mal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more relaxed (放松)around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don't judge. A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about I1 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight. Dog owners didn't lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall-mostly with their dogs - and found it worth doing.67．What does the text mainly discuss?A．What pets bring to their owners.B．How pets help people calm down.C．People's opinions of keeping pets.D．Pet's value in medical research.

The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports thatA．people with dogs did more exerciseB．dogs lost the same weight as people didC．dogs liked exercise much more than people didD．people without dogs found the program unhelpful

We will also have one of our staff conduct a home and lifestyle evaluation to determine if each applicant's living situation is suitable for one of our dogs. Additionally, once a dog has been placed in your care, our adoption center will be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week to help with any situations that arises.
For more information on our foster owner program, including testimonials from current and previous foster owners, visit www.loveanimalshelter.com.

Study Says Dogs Can Smell CancerDogs are known for their sense of smell. They can find missing people and things like bombs and illegal drugs .Now a study suggests that the animal known as man's best friend can even find bladder（膀胧）cancer.Cancer cells are thought to produce chemicals with unusual odors（气味）.Researchers think dogs have the ability to smell these odors,even in very small amounts,in urine（尿）.The sense of smell in dogs is thousands of times better than in humans.The study follows reports of cases where,for example,a dog showed great interest in a growth on the leg of its owner. The mole（痣）was later found to be skin cancer.Carolyn Willis led a team of researchers at Amersham Hospital in England.They trained different kinds of dogs for the experiment. The study involved urine collected from bladder cancer patie nts,from people with other diseases and from healthy people.Each dog was tested eight times.In each test there were seven samples for the dogs to smell.The dog was supposed to signal the one from a bladder cancer patient by lying down next to it.Two cocker spaniels（短腿长毛垂耳小猎犬）were correct fifty-six percent of the time. But the scientists reported an average success rate of forty-one percent.As a group,the study found that the dogs chose the correct sample twenty-two out of fifty-four times .That is almost three times more often than would be expected by chance alone.The British Medical Journal published the research .In all,thirty-six bladder cancer patients and one hundred and eight other people took part.During training,all the dogs reportedly even identified a cancer in a person who had testedhealthy before the study.Doctors found a growth on the person's right kidney（肾）.Bladder cancer is the ninth most common cancer worldwide.The International Agency for Research on Cancer says this disease kills more than one hundred thousand people each year. Doctors say cigarette smoking is the leading cause of bladder cancer. Which is NOT true of bladder cancer?A: It is the 9th most common cancer worldwide.B: It can be identified only by dogs.C: It kills more than 100,000 people each year.D: It is mainly caused by smoking.

They already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia (痴呆). The duties of these "guide dogs for the mind" will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep at regular intervals.
The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks. These could include delivering a bite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it, or waking them up in the morning.
The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer"s Scotland and Dogs for the disabled.
Joyce Gray of Alzheimer"s Scotland said, "People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine."
The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer"s, but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. People light up when they see animals. They don"t need to communicate verbally but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond.
The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people.The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will （）.A、respond to the owners" orderB、respond to a sound deviceC、act on the owners" instructionsD、act on the trainers" order
