First, the researchers took the samples of breath and sweat from the participants (参与者) before they did a math problem. The participants were then asked to count backwards from 9,000 in the unit of 17. 18 “If they gave the correct answer, they were not given any feedback (反馈) and asked to continue,” Ms. Wilson added. “If they gave the wrong answer, one researcher would stop them with ‘No’ and give them the last correct answer.” Finally, the researchers took the samples of the participants’ breath and sweat again. Both samples were then used to test the dogs.
19 But 16 dogs were removed from the test for different reasons. The other dogs were each given a machine with an unused piece of gauze (纱布)，a sample from a nervous person, and one from the same person when unstressed. They correctly picked out the stressed sample about 96% of the time! Ms. Wilson said, “ 20 ”
A. The test started with 20 dogs. B. They are known for their good sense of smell. C. And they had to do so in front of two researchers. D. And this change helps the dog sense human stress. E. The results give us a deeper understanding of how dogs read people’s feelings. F. Dogs can tell the difference between a stressed person and a calm one by smell.

Should music be played between classes
We had a discussion about whether music should be played between classes. Here are some results.
Some think listening to music between classes is a good idea. Music can make them feel happy and relaxed. Music can make their lives colorful. However, others are against the idea. They think music may have a bad influence because some music is too noisy and they may get too excited to take a break.
In my opinion, it's good to play some soft and peaceful music instead of loud noisy music during the class break. In this way, students can enjoy music as well as having a good rest. Besides, I suggest playing music that is suitable for middle school students.
