参考答案:D
参考解析:
是非题。A项,如果主人的责任心得分较高,狗的皮质醇水平也较高。第六段,Female dogs whose owners had higher scores in the Big five traits of neuroticism openness, and conscientiousness had higher cortisol levels, while the same was true of male dogs whose owners scored high in agreeableness.养狗的人在神经质、开放性和尽责性五大特质中得分较高,而养狗的人在随和性中得分较高的雄性狗皮质醇水平也较高。B项,如果他们参加比赛,狗的压力水平变得更加突出。第四段,如果这些狗是雌性的,或者它们和主人一起参加敏捷活动,这种效果会更加明显。B正确;C项,科学家通过皮质醇水平计算出了主人和他们的宠物所承受的压力;D项,这篇文章呼吁主人通过与宠物互动来释放压力。倒数第三段罗斯回答。“如果你有压力,你可能会伤害你的狗。倒数第二段,虽然如果你确实倾向于焦虑的一面,你可能要仔细考虑选择一种有弹性的狗。罗斯和她的合作者希望,究竟哪种狗是最好的仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。所以并没有倡导。故本题正确答案选D。
