15、mbulance was also on the way from Exeter, but it seemed like a lifetime while I was waiting.”Luckily, Linda had recently renewed her life-saving skills at first aid in the workplace course so she stayed calm and knew exactly what to do. She said, “First, I placed my friend in the recovery position.

22、g suspected. Scientists have made sure that when it comes to emotions, dogs brains are similar to those of humans.Dogs are usually not relaxed in a lab environment, but with a little petting (爱抚) and lots of treats they can be trained to sit still. Thats how researchers in Hungarys ELTE University w
23、ere able to get images of their brains at work. Research fellow Attila Andics says it helps them better understand the relationship between dogs and humans. It is known for a long time that dogs and humans share similar social environment, but now the results show that dogs and humans also have simi

It establishes a foundation of a new branch of science, because until now it hasnt been possible to measure the brain activities of dogs.The minds of dogs are also being studied at Duke University, in North Carolina. Co-Director of the schools Canine Cognition Center, Evan
26、 MacLean, says that the Hungarian results are an important step forward.Weve known for a long time that dogs have a lot of behavioral similarities compared with humans. But we dont know anything or very little about whether some of these behaviors are represented similarly inside the brain of the do
