This is not something new.You're sitting at the dinner table with your dog touching your feet.You know you shouldn't give dogs human food.But when you look down,you find that those lovely puppy eyes are almost impossible to say“no”to.So you give it some food.
What is it about a dog's loving gaze(凝视) that makes is so lovely?A new study by a scientist Miho Nagasawa seems to have found the answer.He found it has to do with something called the cuddle(拥抱) chemical.The cuddle chemical in the blood encourages bonding.Levels of it increase,for example,when a parent hugs a newborn baby.According to Nagasawa's study,levels of the cuddle chemical can also go up when we look deeply into the eyes of a dog.
In order to better understand how the cuddle chemical works between dogs and humans,Nagasawa and his team did an experiment.They tested levels of the cuddle chemical in dogs and humans,and then put them in a room to interact(互动) with each other.
While in the room,the humans petted the dogs,spoke to the dogs,and looked into the dogs'eyes.Then the scientists tested their levels of the cuddle chemical again.They found that levels of the cuddle chemical were higher in both humans and dogs after they interacted.However,levels were the highest in the humans and dogs that simply looked into each other's eyes,without much petting or talking.
Simply put,the longer the humans look into the eyes of the dogs,the more the cuddle chemical is produced,Nagasawa did the same experiment with humans and wolves,but it did not give the same results.

A.special B.surprising
C.common D.boring
2.Why did Nagasawa and his team do the first experiment
A.To find how the cuddle chemical affects humans.
B.To help humans get along well with animals.

3.The level of the cuddle chemical in humans will not increase when ________.
