Before discussing different kinds of emotions, let us briefly talk about how researchers   1 bodily processes, actions and behavior, and how this relates to what we do in our daily lives when we observe emotions in 2  .
Bodily processes can be directly measured by   3  of a polygraph. (测谎器)When a polygraph is skillfully used to   4 how we react bodily with what we are   5 , it is called a "lie detector". Bodily processes can also be measured 6 . This is what we do when we observe someone blushing (脸红). However, we are not always 7  of what bodily processes respond to.
Measuring action   8  behavior is the other way researchers assess the emotions.    9 , one measure of fear of snakes is how 10 a person will go to the snake. Another procedure is to have a person 11 how afraid he is, or how he feels, in this way, researchers have 12 the so-called "fear thermometer" to assess a person’s fear. 13  our everyday living, we do very much the same thing. Only not too   14 . We react to what a person does, what he says, 15  he says it, and how he looks. Is he smiling? Is his voice trembling? We put all this 16 together to infer what a person is feeling.
17 , we do not always act as we feel. Sometimes we do things that we don’t feel like doing. 18 we say we feel one way and then we act another. Actors, for example, successfully learn to "make believe" emotions, or learn to   19  them. Thus we   20  always tell what a person is feeling by what he says or by what he does.

If you plan on visiting to Fiji, you are probably looking for some fun things to do. Below are four unusual places.
The Poseidon Resort
The Poseidon resort is an underwater resort that gives visitors a beautiful view of sea life. This resort covers 255 acres. It’s covered and surrounded by a lagoon (咸水湖) that covers 5,000 acres and is about 90 feet under water, giving you a beautiful view of sea life righ

t before your eyes. This resort even has a hotel for those who would prefer to have the unusual experience of sleeping and waking up to the beautiful scenery all around them.
The Sabeto Mud Pool
If you’re looking for something unusual to do, you can’t pass up the mud pool at Sabeto. It is located in a mountain range with a huge group of Geothermal (地热的) pools full of nice, warm mud. Getting down and into the mud in the pool is believed to have benefits for healthy skin. This is unusual, but adults and especially kids will love it.
Fire Walking
Fire walking in Fiji is believed to have originated on the island of Beau. Fire walking is when you walk on white-hot stones barefoot. To do this, you have to be mentally prepared for it. Trust me; there is a lot of preparation and strict rules that travelers follow in order to do this safely.
The Fiji Museum
The Fiji museum is unusual due to all the amazing artifacts you’ll see dating back 3,000-4,000 years. This museum has a certain attraction that makes it funny—a shoe. It’s been said that a man named Thomas Baker was eaten by the locals several centuries ago and the only thing left was his shoe. This unusual museum is a great idea if you bring the whole family to Fiji.

Does your pet have a slim figure? According to the Association of Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP), about half of all dogs and nearly 60% of all indoor cats are overweight. Larry Kornegay, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association, says he sees an overweight pet nearly every day, and unusually the owner is overweight. So talking about the topic can be touchy. “I talk about their pet’s health. Still, some clients take it personally.”
Here are some tips for pet weight loss:
See the vet(兽医). Have your vet put together a plan and treat any existing medical problems. Pain relief and diet changes may be required for arthritic(患关节炎的) pets, which will allow for exercise to at least begin.
Skip the crash diet (an attempt to lose weight quickly by strictly limiting the diet). A special weight-loss diet may be suggested. For example, look for the supplement which burns fat and builds muscle mass in foods. Never place any pet on a crash diet, especially cats, which can suffer a potentially fatal liver disease as a result. There’s a safe weight-loss drug for dogs you can ask your vet about.
Dine alone. “Cut out treats and resist temptation by keeping pets out of the room you’re dining in,” says Chicago vet Sheldon Rubin. You can buy low-calorie treats for dogs and cats. Rubin also recommends mini carrots, small apple slices or blueberries for dogs. What’s important is finding other ways, aside from food, to show your love. Play with your cat using an interactive toy, and take your dog for walks. Walks are great for bonding, and good for you. Studies show people are actually more willing to lose weight themselves if it also will help their pet.
Feed pets at special times. Pre-measure food carefully—don’t give them a larger meal than ever—and leave it in various places, so pets sniff it out and use the stairs. It’s fun, and it’s good exercise.
小题1:. The underlined word “touchy” in Paragraph 1 probably means__________

A．sensitive

B．exciting

C．moving

D．pleasant

小题2:.

What can be inferred from the passage?

A．Overweight people usually like overweight pets.

B．Pets’ weight is easier to lose than humans’.

C．Cats have a greater chance of serious liver disease.

D．Overweight people often ignore their pets’ weight.

小题3: Which of the following methods is healthy for your pets?

A．Providing them with mini carrots or blueberries.

B．Keeping them with you when you’re dining.

C．Supplying them with larger meals or drinks.

D．Leaving the food in a fixed place for your pets.

小题4:. What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．How to feed pets without a crash diet.

B．The importance of pet weight loss.

C．How to help pets lose weight.

D．The problems that pets will meet.
