21、and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wro
22、ng thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train it. Obedience training doesn t solve all
23、 behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order.
24、 When your dog obeys a simple request of “ come here, sit,“ it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack by using extreme measures. You can teach your dog its subordinate role by teaching it to show submission to you. Mos
25、t dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge.Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount o

29、has received effective obedience training, its owner_.（A）will enjoy a better family life（B） can give the dog more freedom（C） can give the dog more rewards（D）will have more confidence in himself15 In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their worker
30、s more productive . Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker s life more enjoyable, it does not actually make him work harder. As far as increasing produ
31、ctivity is concerned, variety is not an important factor.Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated mac
32、hinery which must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to create it. Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part
33、of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is degree of worker contribution an important factor, therefore, but
34、 it is also one we can do something about.To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argum
35、ent may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.16 Which of these possible factors leading to greater productivity is not true?（A）To make jobs mor
36、e varied.（B） To give the worker freedom to do his job in his own way.（C） Degree of work contribution.（D）Demands for longer working hours.17 Why workers want more money?（A）Because their jobs are too boring.（B） In order to enjoy more spare time.（C） To make their jobs more interesting.（D）To demand shor
37、ter working hours.18 The last sentence in this passage means that if we succeed in making workers jobs more interesting_.（A）they will want more money（B） they will demand shorter working hours（C） more money and shorter working hours are important factors（D）more money and shorter working hours will no
