Paired up in the right setting, dogs and horses can have their fair share of fun—at times even

playing together and mimicking（模仿）each other's facial expressions, new research suggests.

These findings, published in the journal Behavioural Processes, mark the first example of so-

called rapid facial mimicry occurring between play partners of different species, and indicate the

existence of a universal language of play. Though the purpose behind play remains unclear,

scientists believe the behavior arises to help animals improve hunting and social skills, relieve

stress or develop relationship with each other, study author Elisabetta Palagi says, an animal

behaviorist at the University of Pisa in Italy.

Learning more about the contexts in which different animals play around—especially across

branches of the tree of life—could tell researchers a lot about play's origins and evolution . But

apart from a handful of studies featuring humans and their pets, scientists haven't had many

chances to analyze examples of interspecies(种间)play.

In 2018, when someone sent Palagi a YouTube video featuring a dog and a horse playing

together, she took the chance to research further. The two species, she noted early on, were

especially good research objects of interspecies friendship, because they had both been shown to

recognize facial expressions in other animals.

Putting together a team of research students, Palagi began to collect and analyze hundreds of

other videos with dogs and horses partnering in play. Only 20 videos ended up meeting the team's

requirements: showing animals freely playing on their own, without human interference(干扰), for

at least30 seconds.

Several common themes quickly arose. When playing, dogs and horses often mirrored each

other's moves, jumping and pushing at each other. They also rolled on their backs and showed

their throats and stomachs—a strong sign that they were at ease and even communicating their

friendly intentions . Despite millions of years of evolution between them, the two species had

found common ground for the only purpose of fun, said Palag1.

The two animals also frequently copied each other's facial expressions, both using the

relaxed, open mouths—behayior that had never been noted between a pair of animals of different

species. Horses and dogs may look and behave in extremely different ways, says Barbara Smuts, a

behavioral ecologist at the University of Michigan who wasn't involved in the study. But fun is

perhaps a language that doesn't need to be taught. Two very dissimilar animals, Smuts says, can

still discuss how to play in a way that's comfortable for both.

The end of the library?

When was the last time you went to your local library? Last week? A month ago? A year ago?

For many reasons, fewer people borrow books from libraries. With advances in technology, it is

now possible for people to download and read whatever they like on electronic devices such as

Kindles at any time. It has been argued that doing this is cheaper than buying hard-copy books. 1

Call me old-fashioned. 2 I like to have printed books lining my bookshelves. I love the

smell of a new book and I enjoy leafing through paper pages. Besides, libraries offer a quiet place

to sit, read, think and do research, and a real escape from the outside world. When I was at

university, I often spent hours at the library and borrowed numerous journals, articles and other

printed materials, as it was just too expensive to buy new books every week. 3 They're

particularly suitable for students.

4 At home, my local library hosted actors, historians and other speakers during the town's

yearly art and literature festival. Well-known authors are also invited to libraries to give speeches

or lead discussions about their work. These events are a great way to attract people of all ages in

the community. 5

There are still many fantastic ways to use libraries. Maybe we just need to try to recognise

them.

A. Libraries are free.

　B. I've never got into the e-book.

C. I made friends with the school librarian.

D. Libraries often organise a series of interesting activities.

E. They're also a great way to encourage the use of libraries.

F. They plan to hold an all-night reading activity in the library.

G. They are also lightweight, making them perfect for travelling
