3、rbed by Philly licking my hand dearly. Are you hungry? I spoke my first words ever since the shipwreck occurred. Woof, woof! Barked Philly enthusiastically.

Suddenly I thought I heard noises. Could there be anyone else on this island? I wondered. As we were lookin
5、g for fruit trees, we chanced upon one that bore yellow, juicy-looking fruit. Philly started barking-we had company. It was a dark-skinned woman, holding a sharp spear, dressed in fur and grass. I backed away from her, afraid that she would be aggressive. Then, I saw that she was trying to save us.
6、Pointing her spear at the fruit tree, she shook her head strongly.I nodded at her to show I understood what she was saying.

10、orously, it is definitely pleased to see you. but now scientists using a robot have found that the way dogs use their tails is more complicated than we thought, and that dogs which wag them to the left may be more friendly. The animal psychologists discovered that when real dogs approached a life-si
11、zed robot dog, they were less cautious about it when it was wagging its tail to the left, while if it was wagging its tail to the right, far fewer dogs approached it in a confident manner.In the first experiments, 56 percent of the animals approached the model without hesitation when the tail was wa

When the researchers excluded(排除)owners from being present, the result were: 31 percent of the dogs approached continuously when the tail was wagging to the left, while only 18 percent did so when it was on the right.Animal psych
13、ologist Roger Mugford said it added to the growing evidence that dogs were even more complicated communicators than the animals more closely related to man such as monkeys.
