Why are dogs our best friends．Maybe because they can understand our words much better than we thought，according to a study in Hungary．It found that dogs understand not only what we say，but also how we say it．

"The results were very exciting and very surprising．"Said the researcher Attila Andies，from Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest．

For the study，the researchers first trained 13 dogs for months．The dogs had to sit quietly inside machine，so that the researchers could check their activity．

Then the researcher put headphones on dogs and played people's voice to them．There were four different voice．Some were positive words，such as"well down"，or neutral（不带感情色彩的） words like"however"．The words were also in different tones（音调）．Some were positive and some were neutral．

Brain scans（扫描）showed that the dogs could recognize（辨认）words．as well as the tone of words，much like people do．The positive words with a positive tone brought the stronger activity in their brain's reward centers（反应中枢）．

"It shows that for dogs，a nice phrase can word very well as a prize，but it words best if both words and tones match．"Said Andies．

They also found that dogs deal with meaningful words with the left side of the brain and tones with the right．Human brains work in the same way．

It gave us a new understanding of language，said Andies．That is，not only do humans understand the meaning in words，other species（物种） do too．

The whole day we walked around．Every now and then he put stones in our bags．To our surprise，he also took some stones out from our bags．But we thought he had just found better stones．

When we returned to the house，we were very tired．The backpacks were so heavy that we felt relaxed when we put them down．But uncle's backpack was half empty．

"Why did you put so many stones into our backpacks？"we asked．

"I didn't．You did．"He said．"You didn't know it，but I gave you a test today．I listened to every word you said．Whenever you were complaining（抱怨），I added a stone to your bags．Whenever you talked about something with positive（积极的） thinking，I took out a stone．And now look at your backpacks．"Our backpacks were full of stones．

Once a king got two nice falcons（猎鹰）from his son．He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly．

After several months，the king came to see how the training was going．He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky，while the other was staying on the branch（树枝）of a tree quietly，just keeping still．

The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly．But none of them succeeded．One day，while the king was taking a walk in the forest，an idea came to his mind．He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once．

The next morning，the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely．"It is unbelievable!"shouted the king．"How could you make it happen？"

The farmer replied，"It's very easy．I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested．"

It's always the same to human beings．We all have"two flying wings"in our hearts as well，but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we are just for safety and comfort．We won't realize we can fly so high and freely until the"branch"we are resting on breaks．

Do you know why different animals or insects have their special colors？Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves．

Some birds like eating locusts（蝗虫），but birds can't easily catch them．Why？It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops．When crops are green，locusts look green．But as the harvest time comes，locusts change to the same brown color as crops have．Some other insects with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others，so they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night．

If you study the animal life，you will find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves．Bears，lions and other animals move quickly through the forest．They cannot be easily seen by hunters．This is because they have the colors much like the trees．

Have you ever noticed an even more strange fact？A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid（液体）when it faces danger．While the liquid spreads over，its enemies cannot find it．And it immediately swims away．So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all．
