mean.However,researchers wonder whether dogs really understandhuman speech or depend on other information.For example,does the word take form a pictureof a stick or ball in the dogs mind,or does the dog bring back the object based on the ownersvoice or gesture?A new study seems to show that mans best friend does indeed know what theowner is saying.The researchers began by asking the owners of twelve different dogs to train their pets to pickout two different toys such as a toy animal and a ball.Once the dogs took turns inside a specialscanner（扫描仪）.While holding up objects the dogs hadnt seen before,first the owners testedtheir dogs language skill by calling out the names of the toys they had been trained to recognize,and then they tested by saying meaningless words such as bobbu1 1 and”bodmick.Something interesting was that the dogs brains showed a higher level of neural（神经的）activity at the sound of unknown words.This is the exact opposite of what happens in humanbrains,which get more active at the sound of familiar words.The researchers say the dogs maybecome cheerful at the sound of new words.They try to understand the new words in the hope ofdelighting their owners.Dogs want to please their owners,and perhaps also want to receivepraise or food,says a senior author of the study.However,though your pet may understand human speech,the scientists recommend showingsome objects and letting them smell fbr training.HWhen people want to teach their dog a trick,they often-use spoken commands because thats what we humans prefer,Prichard says.From thedogs

follow ownersf-order by listeningD.To test out how dogs get information from owners.43.What does the writer mean to do in Paragraph?A.Announce the result of the research.B.Present the process of the
