26、st heroes of all.Youwill often find 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 from thetraditional Herding Group.These types include the Bloodhound,Labrador Retriever,New

27、foundland,German Shepherd,Golden Retriever,and Belgian Malinois-all of whichare chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazing 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

28、 often able to access hard-to-reach areas.As highly trainedanimals,they serve in many different fields,including specialist search,snowslide rescue,dead body location,and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of asearch-and-rescue worker,a dog must display c

34、 doctor away,but it does reduce the amountof trips you make to the drug store per year.That s according to a new study thatinvestigates 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

35、 answer survey questions about dietand health.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

36、 be 27%less likely to visit the druggist 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 fewer prescriptionmedi

42、ses.They frighten the school employees,notto mention the students.Instead of making people unable to solve problems or trynew ideas-which is what fear does to us-research on school reform strongly suggeststhat policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humane approach.In their stud

43、y on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools,Bryk andSchneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults wasthe key to successful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of thoserelationships.Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological saf
