new study has found that people are not
good at understanding how dogs are
feeling. Researchers at Arizona State
University made videos of a dog in different situations.
Some were good experiences for the dog. For example,
someone gave it a treat.

Some were bad. For
example, the dog saw a
scary vacuum cleaner(真空吸尘器).
Then the researchers edited some videos. In these
videos, they changed the background (背景). For
example, a video showed the dog looking happy, but the
background was a vacuum, not a treat. The researchers
showed all the videos to people and asked, "How happy
was the dog?"
People saw the same dog doing the same thing, but
they thought different things about it. *If the background
looked good, they thought the dog was happy. If the
background looked bad, they thought the dog was
unhappy. This happened even when the dog's body
language showed the opposite feelings.
The researcher Holly said, "People don't judge (判断)
a dog's feelings by what the dog was doing, but by what
was happening around the dog. To really understand your
pet's feelings and be closer to it, focus on your dog's body
language."

一项研究发现，人们根据狗狗所处的周围情景，而非狗狗的行为，来判断它的感受。研究人员建议，要想真正了解狗狗的感受，得观察它的肢体语言。
1. D 推理判断题。由第一段第二句可知，研究人员制作了一只狗在不同情景下的视频。由第二段前两句可知，研究人员改变了一些视频的背景。由第二段最后一句可知，科学家们把所有视频展示给人们看。由此可推知，研究人员研究人们对狗的感受的理解程度，是通过向人们展示改变背景的视频。
2. C 推理判断题。由第二段最后一句可知，研究人员将所有视频展示给人们看，并询问人们狗的开心程度。由第三段第一句可知，人们看到同一只狗做出同一个动作，但他们得出的解读却截然不同。由此可推知，研究人员改变视频背景的目的，是为了验证环境背景是否影响人们的判断。
3. C 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第三段主要向我们展示了人们根据背景判断狗的感受。
4. D 细节理解题。由最后一段可知，Holly之所以建议观察狗的肢体语言是因为肢体语言能反映真实感受。
5. A 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了一项研究，该研究表明人们不是通过狗狗的行为来判断狗狗的感受，而是通过狗狗周围的环境来判断。由常识可推知，本文可能出现在杂志的“科学与动物”专栏。
