阅读理解。

The friendship between humans and dogs possibly began 14, 000 years ago.

Here are four examples of "a dog's life" in the human world today.

Treated like a queen

    Tiffy is one of these dogs. Her owner, Nancy Jane Loewy, treats her like a queen. She patiently prepares Tiffy's meals of meat, fish, chicken and different kinds of fresh vegetables. Tiffy also eats yoghurt and biscuits after dinner. Loewy's husband has a very good job and her two sons are away at university, so she has the time and money to treat Tiffy very well, and she truly enjoys doing it. "I want to give her the healthiest, most wonderful life as long as possible," she says.

Food sniffer dogs(嗅探犬)

Food sniffer dogs work at international airports in the United States. Their job is to smell and find illegal(不合法的) fruits, vegetables and other foods in bags and mail. These foods sometimes bring insects and diseases which could be dangerous for plants and animals. The dog calmly sits down next to anything that smells suspicious(可疑的). The dog's human partner then checks for illegal foods. Sniffer dogs are friendly and cute, so they don't scare people as they sniff through the crowds. More importantly, these dogs have an astonishing nose for food. They can find food in bags 84% of the time.

Animal carers

    Jessie is a whippet(水灵狗) that visits very sick children in hospital.  She shows them her love and when they feel down, Jessie makes them happy. Jessie helps patients to stay strong during their time in hospital.

  There are many different kinds of animals that help people.  We train "service dogs" to help people with physical disabilities. The best known service dogs are guides for the blind.  But they can also learn to      , tum lights on and off, pick up objects from the floor and even pull wheelchairs.

Doggie detectives (侦探犬)

    Search-and-rescue (SAR) dogs use their amazing noses to find people. They can smell tiny clues(绒索) that people leave wherever they go. These include bacteria(细菌) , small pieces of clothing and hairs. They may find missing hikers and search through rubble(碎石)  after earthquakes and other disasters.

Whenever we think about something, most of us have a feeling of words going through our minds. However, if you stop and try to listen to your own thoughts, you'll notice that they are not in order at all. It's easy to imagine that we think in the language that we speak, but this is completely wrong. Language can show the results of our thinking, but it's not the thinking itself. 

Getting the joke

Think about what happens when you "get" a joke: "I've decided to sell my Hoover (吸尘器). . . well, it was just collecting dust (灰尘). " Whether you laugh or not, you react (反应) at once. Then you try to put into words what the joke actually is. 

Another example is the thinking you need when playing a fast-moving video game. You might shout "Yes!"or "Got you!". But if you had to talk about all your plans aloud, your game play would slow down. Thoughts always come first and the expression of our thoughts in words comes later. 

Thinking in silence

Humans think about things without language all the time, and only report their thoughts in the language when they have time to do so. You can test this with a game. Read a word quickly, out loud or in your head. You'll find that while you're doing this, you won't be able to think with words, but you can still plan, reason and imagine, pretty much as normal. 

Smart minds

Just because humans don't need language to think, it doesn't mean that words don't help us. The real magic of language is that it allows people to share their thoughts with others. This means you don't have to face the world by yourself-you can learn from ideas created by the elderly. This lets humans develop science and technology, laws and stories. People can think without language, but language makes humans so smart.

①The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides a year into twenty- four solar terms. Start of winter, Lidong in Chinese, the 19th solar term of the year, falls on November 7th this year.

Lidong was once a big day in ancient(古代的) China. Before the day, the emperor(帝王) would take a shower and have no meat. On that day, the emperor and his officials(官员) would all dress in black and go out of the city to welcome winter. Today, to welcome the day, some people choose to have swimming competitions in the rivers in some cold places such as Harbin in Heilongjiang Province.

③As winter comes, the weather gets colder and colder. Chinese people often eat enough food to keep their bodies warm and healthy. On the day of Lidong, people in North China love eating dumplings. In South China, people love to eat chicken, duck and fish. In some places in Guangdong Province, people eat sugar cane(甘蔗) on the day. They think this is good for their teeth. In Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, people will eat green onions for good health. In Taiwan Province, people often eat mutton.

Lidong is the time to start wearing warm clothes. In old times, the emperor would hand out warm winter clothes to the officials on the day. People would also remember to give" clothes" to their lost family. They would also have delicious food to show how much they missed the lost ones.

Twelve teachers and students from the University of Verona in Italy recently went to Liangnong town, Yuyao city, Zhejiang province, to do research and learn about traditional Chinese culture.

The group went to Liangnong's Intangible Cultural Heritage(非物质文化遗产) Exhibition Hall, where they learned about Yuyao's unique cultural heritage and the local ways of life and traditions.

With the help of a skilled baker, they also learned how to make Liangnong Rice Cake, a traditional local food. People in the area eat this cake during special events like the Lunar New Year, weddings, housewarming parties, and birthdays. It'a symbol of the hope for a good life.

" First, we pour the mixed rice flour into the rice cake mold(模具). Then use tools to make square holes. Next, put sweet fillings into the holes," The skilled baker carefully showed the steps of making Liangnong Rice Cake while telling the Italian teachers and students about its history and culture. The finishing touch, which the students found most interesting, was to print Chinese characters on the cake with a special tool.

"Today's experience was fantastic. We learned how to make Liangnong Rice Cake, and I really enjoyed it. This is my first time in China, and I hope to come to China more in the future," said Giordano Giada, an Italian student.

Barbara Bisetto, the head of the Chinese Department at the University of Verona and an expert on Chinese culture, said in fluent Chinese, " China has a long history and a rich and beautiful culture. This time, I also learned about Chinese manners, customs, and traditions. So for me, as someone who studies Chinese culture, it is a very special experience."

This summer camp is a project between Ningbo University and the University of Verona. By inviting Italian students to visit Liangnong, the university wants to present local culture to a bigger world and support rural revitalization(乡村振兴) with cultural strength.
