19、trying to do is to develop a kind of thinking or approach to discussion and how tointeract(交流)with someone else s opinion,rather than brush their opinion aside.Debate skills are also important in selling a product,he says.In that situation,thejudges are the customem.So on Monday,for example,one comp

26、nd them going above and beyond duty to save someone,risking-and attimes losing-their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups,or fromthe traditional Herding Group.These types include the Bloodhound,LabradorRetriever,Newfoundland,GermanShepherd,GoldenRet

27、riever,andBelgianMalinois-all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of theiramazing physical strength,loyalty,and their tendency for mental stability.These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell-to better locate lostindividualsand are often able to access hard-to-reach ar

28、eas.As highly trainedanimals,they serve in many different fields,including specialist search,snow sliderescue,dead body location,and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of asearch-and-rescue worker,a dog must display certain qualities.In addition tointelli

29、gence and strength,the dog must be swift,confident,easily trainable,adaptable,and have a high level of stamina(耐力)and endurance.A strong sense ofgroup cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during down time isalso required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many,many

34、 of trips you make to the drug store per year.That s according to a new studythat investigates whether there s any truth in the old saying.A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis,of the University of MichiganSchool of Nursing,asked 8,399 participants to answer survey questions about dietand he

35、alth.A total of 753 were apple eaters,consuming at least 149g of raw appleper day.The remaining 7,646 were classed as non-apple eaters.When both groupsanswered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to the drug store per year,theapple eaters were found to be 27%less likely to visit the druggist

36、for drugs.Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by apple consumption,though.Evidence does not support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away.However,thesmall number of US adults who eat an apple a day does appear to use fewerprescription medications,the study concludes.Apple eaters

37、were also found to be less likely to smoke and be more likely to havea higher educational attainment than non-apple eaters.While apples do not competewith oranges,they docontain some immune(免疫的)system-increasing vitamin C,which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less.With over 8mg of vitamin

42、t to mention the students.Instead of making people unable to solve problems ortry new ideas-which is what fear does to us-research on school reform stronglysuggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humaneapproach.In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago

43、 public schools,Brykand Schneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adultswas the key to successful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of thoserelationships.Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety tospeak ones mind,to discus
