Do dogs understand us?
Be careful what you say around your dog.It might understand more than you think.
A border collie(邊境牧羊犬) named Rich recognizes the names of about 200 objects,say researchers in Germany.The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child.Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩).
In one experiment,the researchers took all 200 items that Rich is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects.Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back.In four tests,Rich got 37 out of 40 commands right.As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues,the scientists believe Rich must understand the meaning of certain words.
In another experiment,the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew.The owner then told Rico to fetch the object,using a word the dog had never heard before.
The correct object was chosen in seven out of 10 tests,suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination(排除法).A month later,Rico remembered half of the new names,which is even more impressive.
Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog.For one thing,Rico is a border collie,a breed(品種)known for its mental abilities.In addition,the 9-year old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.
It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say.Even if they do,they can't talk back.Still,it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then.You might just get a big,wet kiss in return!

1.Many companies have created apps to help blind people.Microsoft created apps that can describe a photo.Huawei made an app that uses sounds to tell users if people they are talking to look happy,sad or angry.Now,an app that will allow blind people to run alone is being tested.Panek,CEO of Guiding Eyes for the Blind,had always loved running.But he startedlosing his eyesight when he was 8,and by his early 20s he was blind.Later in life,he started running with a guide dog.But he didn't like this way.He asked a group of experts whether they could create something to help blind people run on their own.The team soon created Project Guideline.The Guideline app uses a smartphone camera to recognize a line painted on the ground.Through earphones,the app makes sounds when a person moves away from the line.The sounds get louder in either the left ear or the right ear when the person moves away further from the line.After trying the app,Panek used it while running outside in a park.In November,2020,when he was 38 years old,Panek successfully ran 5 kilometers around New York City's Central Park using the app.Panek hopes that the app Project Guideline can help more people like him.And the team will improve Project Guideline to help the blind.
