You may find it crazy that your dog buries his favorite bone or chew toy, only to dig it up a day or two later, but there is actually a reason behind it--it is simply in their nature.For thousands of years, dogs have buried their bones.The practice itself started long before dogs were even pets when they had to bury bones to survive. When dogs lived in the wild, sometimes food was scarce.If they were able to find food,dogs became very protective of it.Sometimes they would have more bones than they could eat for one meal.To keep other dogs and animals from stealing their bones, dogs would bury them in the ground.When it was time for the next meal, they would dig up their bones and enjoy them again.This would continue until the bones were gone. Even though most dogs have plenty of food to eat today, their instincts still tell them to bury their bones and favorite toys.They do this to keep other dogs and animals from stealing them, just like their ancestors did.Some dogs keep at least two bones buried at once.When they want to dig up one, they will bury one more.This may leave a backyard full of holes and bones. How do dogs decide where to bury their bones? A dog cannot bury a bone just anywhere.He must first find the perfect spot.This involves using his nose to find a spot that is free from other dogs and animals.Often it is near a tree or a large rock, but it could be anywhere in the yard.Once the dog finds the perfect spot, he uses his front paws to dig a hole, drops the bone in and covers up the hole to protect his treasure.

A recent survey shows that 25% of Internet users have done online banking through public Wi-Fi in the last three months.It also shows that 27% have bought a product or service with a credit card this way. Experts worry that hackers ( 黑 客 ) will take advantage of these practices.Doug Shadel said that hackers usually attack in two ways.They may create Wi-Fi hotspots that have the same name of the ones you trust, such as a hotel or a coffee shop.They may also provide a stronger Wi-Fi signal to get between you and the safe hotspot.In either case, the hackers can see your email, credit card information, user names and passwords. Sometimes hackers just set up their electronic traps near a business where people enjoy the free Wi-Fi."In most cases they are after your personal information,"Shadel said."If you use the same user name and password for many accounts,they can get into them all.It's possible for any hacker to do it.The software to hack into a Wi-Fi network is available at little or no cost." "It's difficult for people to know if a Wi-Fi network is safe,”Shadel said."So you should just think they are not.Any shared Internet access, free or paid, carries the same level of risk.It is safe only when you or someone you trust directly controls it." Shadel sometimes checks email through public Wi-Fi.But he never does any banking that way.In an unfamiliar place,he uses a Virtual Private Network (VPN)."This service creates a passage between your device and a safe place on the Internet," he said.

It is a question that keeps some parents awake at night.Should children be allowed to take mobile phones to school? 26 For parents who want their children to do well at school, it is no. Banning mobile phones at school is effective.According to a UK study, after schools banned mobile phones ， the test scores of students improved by 6.4%.The findings will influence the debate about children and mobile phones.In the UK,more than 90% of teenagers own a mobile phone; in the US,75% have one.The popular mobile phone is a problem in the eye of teachers. 27 In a 2001 survey ， no school banned mobiles.By2007, this had risen to 50%.By 2012,98% of schools had taken action.Some did not allow phones.The others required them to be handed in at the beginning of the day. 28 New York City has lifted a 10-year ban on phones at school.It says that lifting the ban will promote equality."This view is wrong," the researchers of the UK study write.“We found that the ban led to improvements in test scores among students.Low-achieving students gained the most. 29 Allowing phones into schools will harm the lowest-achieving students the most.” The UK study was carried out at Birmingham，London，Leicester and Manchester schools before and after bans were introduced.“Technology is commonly viewed as increasing efficiency," the researchers write."Modern technology is used in the classroom to improve student performance. 30 Some students will pay no attention to their class.”
A.They are worried about the trend.
B.The mobile phone is a good example.C.However, there are potential problems. D.Now researchers say that they have an answer. E.Therefore, lifting the ban may in fact lead to the opposite. F.However, some schools are starting to allow limited use of mobile phones.
