A dog can’t speak any words, but it can “talk”. It has feelings just as you do. Sometimes it may feel angry or afraid. Watch a dog closely, and you can find out its feelings. You can see what it is trying to tell you. When you are afraid, you may look down. When a dog is afraid, it may run away. When you are angry with other people, you stare at(凝视) them. An angry dog also stares. Sometimes the hair along its back stands up.
Do you feel guilty (有罪的) when you have done something wrong? Dogs can feel guilty, too. Sometimes when I come home, my dog gives me a guilty look. Then I know he has done something wrong.
Dogs need love and attention (关心). Some dogs are very unhappy when they are left alone for a long time. Some dogs snaps(撕咬)if they don’t get enough attention.
You may have a dog or you may know a dog. Treat it well if you want to have fun with it. Take it for a walk. Don’t order（命令） it round too much. Try not to punish (惩罚) it. Always remember, a dog has needs and feelings just as you do. Talk to a dog, and it will talk to you.

| Dear Dr． Green， My relationship with my mother is worse and worse now． It seems she's never tired of talking． She talks here and there，day and night． More seriously， I feel like we don't have much common． She doesn't always understand what I'm trying to say． What should I do？ Yours， Jim |
Dear Jim， I know how you feel． It's not easy being your age． And it 's not easy being a mother， either． It's common for kids to have trouble talking with parents， and talkative mothers are not new to teenagers． But remember， she's nagging（叨唠） you because she just wants what's best for you． Talking is her way to show love and care． And she also wants to know more about you． After a day 's work． she's tired， too． But she will never be tired of caring about you． Kids should learn to understand and care about parents． In my opinion， it's helpful to share school life with her． Then， you talk and she listens． Doing some housework together with her is another good way for you two to know each other better． And if possible， often tell her your feelings about the things around you． Always keep in mind： be polite and patient． Yours， Dr．Green |

What can be both red or green， round or sharp， big or small， and more importantly， loved or hated by someone？ Yes， the answer is chilies （辣椒）．
Many of us in China enjoy adding chilies to our food， but did you know that this spicy （辣 的） vegetable could also be dangerous？ A 34﹣year﹣old US man recently ended up in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper， the spiciest chili people have known so far． After taking just a single bite of one， the man suffered from serious headaches in the following days， reported BBC News．
In fact， eating spicy food causes stomachache and headache． But if chilies are harmful， why do people like to eat this vegetable？ So what makes people love chilies so much？ The human body is influenced by natural chemicals that produce "a sense of happiness"， noted BBC News．
And chilies do good to people in another way． Scientists found that the death rate of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week． The death rate is 14 percent lower for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week． This encourages people to eat more spicy food to improve health and bring less death risk at an early age． So， don't worry if you love spicy food． It seems that chilies are actually good for us．
