Our dog Sullivan started coughing about a week ago. I was the teacher on duty that day and came home for a quick lunch. Right when I was about to leave back to the school, he started doing this really terrible cough. And it really terrified me. I started searching for dog CPR(心脏复苏术) online and tried looking down his throat, all while he was acting completely normal. He was wagging(摇摆) his tail and running around and just wanted to play but also kept making this horrible noise. I called my husband and told him what was happening and that I needed to leave for work but didn’t want to leave him alone, so my husband rushed home to be with him.
After my husband came home, Sullivan stopped coughing. He was completely fine through the afternoon, evening and nighttime. So, we figured he must have just gotten something stuck in his throat and finally got it out. However, the next morning when we both started getting ready for work, he started doing it again.
We called around a few vets in our city and almost all of them said he could be acting sick in the mornings or when we leave him because he knows. If he acts differently or sick we pay more attention to him and stay with him. The vets said it doesn’t happen a lot but a few really smart animals know how to use and abuse(滥用) the system.
This incident makes us realize what Sullivan’s possibly doing. If he’s capable of such observation, what else could he be planning? Overall, we just learn dogs are awesome and they sometimes learn a lot more than we think-another reason to love them.
14. The writer searched for dog CPR online because .
A. she was on duty that day
C
More often than not, music can be used as a tool to increase production, not as a distraction(分心) as most
B. she needed it for her work D. her husband needed to learn it B. Taking him to more vets D. Feeding him more often B. Medical help from different vets D. Smart animals’ special thinking B. Animals can be smarter than we think D. We’re being made use of by animals
C. she thought Sullivan needed it
A. Staying at home with him C. Giving him a strong CPR
15. Which is a quick solution to Sullivan’s problem?
16. What does the underlined part “the system” refer to?
A. Sullivan’s condition in the morning C. People’s attention to sick animals
17. What can be learned from the last paragraph?
A. Animals deserve more love from people C. We should be careful about animals
people believe it to be. Consider this: if listening to inspiring songs while doing sports helps us to perform better and pushes us to run that extra mile or do that last pushup(俯卧撑), why couldn’t music be around us within the workplace?
There is science behind this. When you listen to music, some part of your brain becomes active and it releases a chemical called dopamine, the “pleasure chemical” in the brain. Let’s make it simple. Say that you are listening to a list of songs and suddenly, a new song starts playing and you find that you really like it. That excitement you feel over that new song is the dopamine at work inside your brain. The amount of dopamine released mainly depends on the degree of surprise. Therefore, the more surprise, the more dopamine and a happier you. It’s simple math, really.
