Dogs are friendly and they love humans to be with them. Your dog will always wait for you by the door, face smiling, mouth open and tail wagging, ready to play with you, his best friend in the world.

It seems that there’s a good reason why dogs 【1】 as man’s best friend. Scientists have found that dogs are the only animals 【2】 can read emotion (情感) in faces much like humans. The finding suggests that like an understanding friend, dogs can see you are happy, sad, 【3】 or angry. When you’re feeling blue, your dog will remain by your side 【4】 comforting you. When you’re happy and excited, your dog will leap around you and share in your joy.

When humans look at a new face, their eyes usually look 【5】 the left, falling on the right hand side of the person’s face first. A possible reason for this is that the right side of the human face is 【6】 at expressing feelings.

Scientists have now shown that pet dogs also have “l(fā)eft gaze bias (左視偏好)”, but only when looking at human faces. No 【7】 animal has been known to do like this before. Dr. Kun Guo with his team showed 17 dogs the pictures of human, dog and monkey faces as well as something else. The dogs’ eyes and heads show a strong left gaze bias when the animals see human faces. But this did not happen when they were shown other pictures, 【8】 those of dogs.

Guo guess that over thousands of years living with humans, dogs may 【9】 the left gaze bias as a way to guess our emotions.

“【10】 studies show that the right side of our faces can show feelings better than the left. If true, then it makes sense to see the right side of a face first.”

【1】句意：狗之所以被認為是人類最好的朋友，似乎有一個很好的理由。be regarded as被當(dāng)做，固定短語。從句主語dogs是復(fù)數(shù)人稱，系詞需用are。根據(jù)句意結(jié)構(gòu)和上下文提示，可知填are regarded。

【2】句意：科學(xué)家們發(fā)現(xiàn)狗是唯一能像人一樣閱讀面部表情的動物。本句結(jié)構(gòu)復(fù)雜，主體是賓語從句，賓語從句又含定語從句，animals后面的句子做它的定語。先行詞animals有only，引導(dǎo)詞需用that。根據(jù)句意結(jié)構(gòu)和上下文提示，可知填that。

【3】句意：這一發(fā)現(xiàn)表明，像一個理解你的朋友，狗可以看到你是快樂、悲傷、高興，還有憤怒。or或者，表并列；根據(jù)句意結(jié)構(gòu)和上下文提示，可知填pleased。

【6】句意：一個可能的原因是，人臉的右側(cè)更善于表達情感。系詞is后接表語形容詞。根據(jù)句意結(jié)構(gòu)和上下文提示，可知那右側(cè)和左側(cè)做了對比，故填better。

【7】句意：以前沒有其他動物知道這樣做。no沒有；animal動物，名詞需用形容詞修飾。other其他的，表示不確定的人或物；本文是拿狗和別的動物比較，根據(jù)句意結(jié)構(gòu)和上下文提示，可知填other。

【9】句意：狗可能已經(jīng)發(fā)展了左視偏好作為一種猜測我們的情緒的方式。“have+過去分詞”是現(xiàn)在完成時結(jié)構(gòu)；根據(jù)句意結(jié)構(gòu)和上下文提示，可知填have developed。
