My dog likes to lie in mud puddles(水坑) and other unpleasant places.Why?

　　Mud puddles?That’s easy:In hot months,they’re like an instant air conditioner for your furry dog.As for smelly places,Stephen Zawistowski,Ph.D.,an applied animal behaviorist and science adviser to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,says “nice” is in the nose of the beholder(旁观者).“While rotting(腐烂的) fish may not smell great to you,to your dog,it probably smells as good as fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies.Rolling in it is just a way to enjoy it all the more.”

　　Why does my cat like to sleep in strange places,like atop keyboards or inside cardboard(硬纸板)boxes?

　　Simply put,it’s what their ancestors did.“In the wild,cats like to take shelter in enclosed spaces,”says cat behaviorist Mieshelle Nagelschneider,author of the book The Cat Whisperer.“And what cat can pass up a warm keyboard?It’s made particularly special because a human is touching it all the time.”

　　【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章解释了宠物的几种奇怪习性。

　　32.People believe dogs dream by studying 　. 

　　A.how long they sleep

　　B.their breathing patterns

　　C.how their brain-waves develop

　　D.the time when they become sleepy

　　答案:C

　　解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“‘but we think they dream.’That’s because their brain-wave patterns are similar to those seen in people.”可知,人们通过研究狗的脑电波发现,它们的脑电波与人类的脑电波极为相似,由此推测狗睡觉的时候也做梦。
