18.People with pets at home often think they know a lot about their pets.But that is not real.Most of them often don't know when their pets are nervous(緊張). There is a new study from scientists.It finds that dogs are nervous when they hear home noises from a vacuum(吸塵器).And many pet owners don't know this. "Ginny was a very friendly dog.But one day she looked nervous,and even stopped eating for a few days," says Grigg,one of the scientists. "Later,I found it was because of the noises from a smoke detector(煙霧報警器) in the house.When the noise stopped,Ginny became normal(正常) soon.Then I thought this was interesting and started to study it." The scientists asked 368 dog owners about their pets' reactions(反應) to home noises.They also watched many videos online.They found that high-frequency(頻率) noises like the noises from a smoke detector can make dogs nervous more easily than low-frequency noises like the noises from a vacuum. "But the feelings to noises are different,so not every dog is afraid of these noises," says Grigg. Are cats also afraid of home noises?Scientists are not sure.That will be another study soon.Now they only hope the study on dogs will help owners know more about what home noises would do to their dogs,so they can do something to help with the problem.

24.When I first started using Chinese websites,I was a bit confused by their design.Popular sites like Taobao and Jingdong are very "busy" they are covered in dozens of links and lashing banners(閃爍的橫幅廣告).They often include a wide variety of bright colors as well,contrasting with the simple colors of most Western websites. So why are Chinese sites designed this way?Some say that Chinese web design hasn't "caught up" to Western web design's standard(標準).(1)
Some Chinese sites,such as Baidu,are quite clean-looking. (2)
There are no capital letters or spaces in Chinese writing foreigners who are used to seeing these things might think that Chinese text looks very crowded. Another thing that makes Chinese websites look so busy is the large number of links. (3)
Again,there is a language-related explanation. It is difficult to type Chinese characters on a Roman alphabet-based (基于字母的) keyboard.You have to type out each character using pinyin,which can be inconvenient. (4)
Or perhaps it could just be that sometimes people prefer flashy,busy websites (5)
So in this way,Chinese internet users might feel right at home when using these sites.
A.So it's easier to just click the link you want,instead of typing what you're looking for. B.Some sites might have hundreds of links on their front page. C.But I don't think this quite explains it. D.Browsing (瀏覽) Jingdong is like stepping into a noisy brightly-lit street market. E.A more convincing(令人信服的)theory has to do with the Chinese language.
