This means that the brain mechanisms involved in understanding human speech are not unique to humans.To convey information through speech, people use both words and intonation (语调）, which is the way a persons voice rises and falls to express an emotion or meaning, such as praise or disapproval. Similarly, to understand what someone is trying to say, people have to pay attention to both their words and their intonation.In the study, the researchers wanted to see whether dogs also pay attention to both words and intonation when trying to understand what a human is trying to say to them.To conduct the study, the researchers looked at 13 dogs. The researchers measured the dogs brain activity with a brain scanner while the dogs listened to recordings of their trainers speaking different combinations of words and intonations.The researchers found that the dogs paid attention to both the words and intonation when trying to understand human speech, just as humans do when they try to understand human speech. This finding means that dogs may understand both the words and the intonation that humans use when they talk to dogs.The brain scans also suggested that the dogs used the left parts of their brains while trying lo understand words hut used the right parts of their brains while trying to understand intonation. Similarly, humans use the left parts of their brains while trying to understand the meanings of words and the right parts of their brains while trying to understand intonation.1、What is the best title for the passage?AYour Dog Understands What Youre SayingBA Big Challenge to Human BeingsCOur Best FriendsDogsDThe Dogs in the Future2、What do people use to convey information through speech?AEmotion or meaning.
