2 . Have you ever wondered how dogs can walk barefoot(赤脚)in the snow? Now a Japanese scientist may have the answer-an inside central heating system.

The secret lies in how dogs circulate(使循环)their blood to prevent cold surfaces from chilling(使冷却)the rest of their bodies, according to Hiroyoshi Ninomiya, a professor at Yamazaki Gakuen University.

The system uses warm, oxygenated blood(含氧血)to heat the cold blood that has been in contact with a cold surface before returning it to the dog's heart and central circulation. "Dogs exchange heat at the end of their legs. Arterial(动脉的)blood flows to the end of their legs and then heats up venous(静脉的)blood before returning it to the heart, " Ninomiya said of his findings. "In other words, they have a heat exchange system in their feet."

Ninomiya studied a well-kept dog's leg under a microscope and found that because of the nearness of arteries and veins(静脉)in the foot pad,the heat in the blood carried from the heart to the arteries is easily conducted to the cooler blood in the veins.

This heat transference(热量转换)keeps a constant temperature in the foot pad, even when exposed to very cold conditions.

Dogs are not alone in having this sort of heat exchange system, which is shared by other animals such as dolphins.

2. According to Para.3, where can dogs exchange heat?

C．At the end of their legs.	D．Inside their deep hearts.

3. Where does this text probably come from?

A．A travel magazine.	B．A science report.
C．A maths book.	D．A personal diary.
