问题                                                   A New Study Says Your Stress Can Spread to Your Dog
         Research shows that most dog owners find their pets to be great stress busters. Curling up on the couch with your pug or playing catch with your labradoodle is a great way to unwind and let the cares of the day slip away. New science has some bad news for dog owners. Dogs might ease your stress, but they can also catch it.
         It’s an old joke that dogs resemble their owners, but according to this new study out of Linkǒ ping University in Sweden, it’s actually true in one less funny way: Stressed out owners have stressed out dogs.
         To figure this out, the researchers took hair samples from 25 border collies and 33 Shetland sheepdogs, as well as their female owners. For both humans and dogs, hair records the level of the stress hormone Cortisol in the body over time. So by analyzing these hairs, the team could figure out just how much stress both the owners and their pets were under long-term.
         The study found the stress levels of the dogs and their owners matched up: Higher levels of stress among owners showed up as higher levels of stress in their dogs. The effect was even more pronounced if the dog was female or if it took part in agility competitions with its owner.
         Previous research has found that Cortisol in humans and their dogs can rise together in the short-term, especially when competing. But this finding was something new. "This is the first time we’ve seen a long-term synchronization in stress levels between members of two different species. We haven’t seen this between humans and dogs before," lead researcher Lina Roth told The Guardian.
Readers can find answers to the following questions except_________.
选项 A、How did scientists figure out how much stress both the owners and their pets were under?
B、What type of dog is best for anxiety-prone owners?
C、Should anxiety-prone people worry about their dogs’ condition?
D、Will owners with high pressure levels definitely have a profound impact on their pets?
答案B
解析 细节题。题干：读者能够找到下列问题的答案，除了A项“科学家们是如何计算出主人和他们的宠物所承受的压力呢?”定位到文章第三段，科学家们通过收集主人和宠物狗的毛发，对其中的皮质醇水平进行分析，计算出主人和宠物所承受的压力。B项“哪种狗最适合有焦虑倾向的主人? ”文章中虽然出现了几个狗的品种，但是没有明确说明哪一种狗最适合有焦虑倾向的人饲养，因此无法在文章中找到该问题的答案。C项“有焦虑倾向的人应该担心他们的狗的状况吗?”文章第四段提到“The study found the stress levels of the dogs and their owners matched up (研究发现，狗和主人的压力水平是一致的)”，因此有焦虑倾向的人压力会比较大，他们的狗可能也会有很大的压力，因此它们的状况需要主人注意。D项“压力大的主人会对他们的宠物产生深远的影响吗?”文章最后一段提到“This is the first time we’ve seen a long-term synchronization in stress levels between members of two different species. We haven’t seen this between humans and dogs before.(这是我们第一次看到两个不同物种之间的压力水平长期保持同步。我们以前从未在人和狗之间见过这种情况)”由此可知，主人压力大在一定程度上影响了狗的压力水平，并且这种影响是长期的。综合以上分析，只有B项问题的答案无法在原文中找到，故本题选B。
