Animal training refers to teaching animals specific responses to specific conditions or stimuli (刺激). Training may be for the purpose of companionship, detection, protection, entertainment or all of the above.



An animal trainer may use various forms of reinforcement (强化) or punishment to condition an animal’s responses. There are many ways to train animals and as a general rule no legal requirements or certifications (证书) are required.



Chickens

Training chickens has become a way for trainers of other animals (primarily dogs) to perfect their training technique. Bob Bailey, former director of Animal Behavior Enterprises and the IQ Zoo, teaches in chicken training courses where trainers teach chickens to tell different shapes, to navigate an obstacle course and to chain behaviors together.



Fish

Fish can also be trained. For example, a goldfish may swim toward its owner and follow him as he walks through the room, but will not follow anyone else. The fish may swim up and down, signaling the owner to turn on its aquarium (鱼缸) light when it is off, and it will skim the surface until its owner feeds it. Pet goldfish have also been taught to perform more complicated tasks, such as doing the limbo (a kind of dance) and pushing a miniature soccer ball into a net.



Pigs

Among all animals，they are the third cleverest — monkeys，dolphins and pigs. Scientists think the training of pigs is easier than the training of dogs and cats. Pigs have a very good sense of smell. They can find things nearby or faraway. They can also help the police to find out drugs at an airport or at a train station.



56. Which is true according to the passage?

A. Most people train animals because they need friends.

B. Training animals requires some certifications.

C. Training chickens is a way to improve the trainers’ skills.

D. Bob Bailey is a professional animal trainer.

A. be trained to follow anyone

B. turn on its aquarium light when it is off

58. Scientists think the training of pigs is easier because _________.

A. pigs do not bite like dogs B. the pigs are smart animals

C. pigs have a good sense of hearing D. pigs can help find out drugs at an airport

We may have hosted some difficult house guests once or in even more occasions. Are you still worrying about how to deal with them? Here below are some tips on how to deal with those difficult house guests.

You’ve been waiting an hour to eat breakfast but your guests are still sleeping.

“Unless you adjusted a time for breakfast the evening before, let your guests sleep in(多睡) and enjoy your breakfast without them. If possible, keep their breakfast warm. Or better yet, when entertaining（款待） it’s always a good idea to have cold breakfast (as well as lunch, dinner and snack) food on-hand.”

---Pamela Eyring，president and director of The Protocol School of Washington

Your guest’s teenage son is a Facebook addict and hogs your computer all day long.

“If you have a guest whose fingers are fixed to your keyboard, kindly let him know that you are expecting work email and give him enough time to finish using it.”

- -- Ummu Bradley Thomas. Founder of Freddie Bell Jones Modeling and Finishing School, Inc.

Your couch surfing, unemployed nephew has been here a month and is showing no sign of leaving.

“There is nothing wrong with saying ‘John, you have been here a month and have not put in any applications. What can I do to help you get your resume together? I would like to make a plan that will assist you in getting back on your feet and allow me to eventually have my extra room back for guests that will soon be arriving.’”

----Diane Gottsman, owner of The Protocol School of Texas

Your guests expect you to accompany them to every single tourist attraction
