Dogs are very sociable（合群的） animals．When owners go out and leave their dogs alone，the dogs get worried and upset．Dogs should be trained to be their own while still young instead of when they are older and set in their ways．When owners are not around，they should provide some toys for their dogs to play with．Leaving the radio or television turned on might also provide relaxing background noise．
Howling（嚎叫） is a form of communication．Dogs do it to tell one another where they are．Some dogs howl when they are lonely，while others do it when greeting strangers whom they are seeing for the first time．Some even howl to music and do this because it is fun．
When it comes to training dogs，giving rewards（奖赏） is a far better way than using punishment．Food makes an excellent reward，and if they do not respond（反应） to this，owners should try touching．Dogs like being touched by owners very much．Words of praise work well too，but not as well as food or touch．It helps if owners spend more time with their dogs．
（1）When should dogs be trained to be on their own？
A．When they are born．
B．When they are young．
C．When they are worried．

Workers wear them． Swimmers wear them． Scientists wear them． Woodcutters wear them． People who play sports wear them． Goggles protect the eyes． They keep out water and chemicals． They keep out bits of wood or stone． They might look funny， but goggles do serious work!
Why do people need to wear goggles？ They need to keep their eyes safe．Many things can hurt our eyes． Have you ever gotten a piece of sand or dirt or other small particle in your eye？ What happens？ It hurts． Your eye begins to fill with tears． Those tears are your body's way of getting the sand or dirt out of your eye． Sometimes this works． Your eye feels much better．
But what happens if your tears don't work？ What happens if the piece of sand has gotten stuck in your eye？ Eyes are delicate． They can be scratched or cut easier than skin（皮肤）． If the particle is not washed out by tears， you might have to go to the doctor． You could even have problems seeing out of that eye．
Instead of waiting to see if tears will help， some people use goggles． This can prevent things from getting in their eyes at all． If they use goggles， their eyes are protected from the things that can cause problems． Goggles are a better way to protect eyes． They are made of plastic or glass， and they are tied around your eye area． Some of them hook behind your ears like glasses． Other goggles have a strap （带子） that goes around your head． Both kinds stay right where you put them until you take them off． That way， you can use both hands to work or play sports， and you don't have to worry about something getting in your eyes．Your eyes are safe， and you can get busy working or playing!
