Some dogs can be really mean. They fight with other dogs and bark at you on the street when you walk by.
Now scientists say that some dogs are badly behaved because they were taken away from their mothers too early. Scientists say this can turn them into aggressive（有攻击性的）dogs.
Researchers at the University of Milan in Italy studied 140 dogs aged between 18 months and seven years, according to the Daily Mail newspaper.
Half of these dogs had been taken away from their mothers and given new homes when they were between 30 and 40 days old. The other half were taken away when they were 60 days old.
Researchers asked the owners where their pets were from and what breed(品种) they were. Then they asked owners to write down whenever their dogs behaved badly. Examples of bad behavior included biting furniture and clothes, barking a lot, and being aggressive to people. Some dogs got angry if other dogs took away their food and toys. Some got scared when they were walking outdoors or if they heard a sudden noise.
The scientists found that bad behavior was more common in dogs that had been taken away from their mothers between 30 and 40 days old.
Behavior was also worse in dogs that had been removed(带走) early and put in pet shops than those that had been removed later.
So if you want to keep a pet dog, think twice before getting one younger than two months old. Your puppy could grow up to be a real troublemaker.

4. Those who want to keep a pet are advised to ________.

In order to survive, she must choose which is more important: her own survival or humanity（人性）.

People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or other historic remains. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. Most European tourists are looking for sunny beach to lie on.
Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money for the sun because they have little of it. People of cities like London, Copenhagen and Amsterdam, spend much of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason why the Mediterranean（地中海）has always attracted them. Every summer many people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun!
The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economics of Mediterranean count ries. Italy’s 30 000 hotels are booked without a break every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spain’s long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit there yearly, or one tourist for each person living in Spain.
But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can deal with. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. None of these, however, is ruining anyone’s fun. Obviously, they don’t go there for clear water. They allow traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don’t even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it’s still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.

That incident made me think about how 24 children and adults react to the unknown. To a child, an odd appearance is an interesting curiosity and a 25 learning experience while adults often view the same thing with fear and horror.
To fulfill the wholeness of my mind and spirit, I now smile warmly, make eye contact, and speak in a confident manner. By using a 26 approach. I attempt to enlighten society about the fact that having a not-so-perfect 27 doesn’t mean having a poor quality of life.

Talking to Teachers—Teachers are just people．Behind that desk, is a living, breathing human being．And just like any human being, they will probably be friendly to people who talk nicely to them．Teachers also seem to get along better with children who take schoolwork seriously and are prepared for class．And, just like any other human being, teachers like to be appreciated．The next time your teacher helps you solve a math problem or figure out a science project, say thank you with a smile.
Talking to Parents—Parents can be very supportive if their children ask for help．If you think there’s something your parents can do to help you socialize more or feel more comfortable around people, then ask them．Very often, parents want very m uch to help, but really don’t know what to do．Pick a quiet time of the day and ask to talk．Tell them how you feel．Maybe they had the same trouble when they were kids.
This Stranger Thing—This is always a tough one．How do you deal with a neighbor, the mail carrier, or someone walking down your street—situations that often seem to cause arguments between kids and parents．The answer to these questions will vary from kid to kid, from parent to parent because all cultures are different．Some folks live in small towns where a hello to everyone is “what’s done”．Then there are kids who live in the city who may have been taught not to speak to anyone they don’t know．If you’re having trouble with this and always feel awkward in these kinds of situations, you might want to talk to your parents or a teacher about it．Where do they think you should draw the line? When is silence rude and when is it wise?
