THERAPEUTIC DOGS

You feel the pressure beginning to mount; a dark cloud looming, growing ever closer. You find yourself deprived of sleep, skipping meals, struggling to concentrate. Year after year, it's the same old story. Exam stress: the number one cause of teenage anxiety.

You've probably heard about the majority of stress-busting tips out there. 1 But it's all much easier said than done, isn't it? With your exams just around the corner, what you need is a quick fix; something that will instantly boost your spirits and energise you for another stint in the library!

Thankfully, an answer has been found. Now you can wave goodbye to your exam woes with a little bit of therapy! 2 Some people might even say it's barking mad! But if exam stress is getting you down, how about attending a session of dog therapy?

While the idea may seem rather far-fetched, many students at Harvard and Yale universities champion the therapeutic effects of canine companionship. 3 These dogs are freely available for students to visit at any time. They can even be borrowed through the library card system just as you would borrow a book!

Recent research into the effects of dog therapy shows that interaction with animals actually decreases cortisol (the stress hormone) and boosts endorphins, making people feel happy. 4 As one librarian explains, "It has had

positive effects, helping them to just have a moment to clear their minds and not have to think about studies.”

The dogs used for these programmes are usually specially chosen for their roles. 5 Most of the time, visitors simply pet the dogs in order to lift their spirits. However, the dogs are trained to play or do tricks as well.

6 They are actually employed for a variety of roles, including helping hospitalised patients, elderly people and those suffering in disaster areas. The presence of an animal has proven not only to reduce stress but to alleviate pain and lower blood pressure. Their unconditional love also provides people with companionship and support in difficult times.

Now, if you're unable to find a local therapy dog to ease your exam stress, don't panic! Studies show that many animals, such as cats and even goldfish, can have a therapeutic effect on people. The animals don't even need special training to make you feel better. 7 If so, the next time you feel like pulling out your hair, why not take a moment to play with them instead?

A Therapy dogs are not only limited to beating exam stress.

B There are literally dozens of people telling you to sleep more, eat healthily and exercise.

C But pets are not allowed to be kept in students’ dormitories.

D In fact, both institutions now have resident therapy dogs which are kept in counselling centres on campus.

E Perhaps you or your friend has a pet at home?

F They must be calm animals which can get on well with strangers and enjoy human contact.

G However, this is no conventional kind of treatment.

H This explains why students often leave the counselling centre with a smile across their face!

THERAPEUTIC DOGS - СОБАКИ ДЛЯ ТЕРАПИИ

A You feel the pressure beginning to mount; a dark cloud looming, growing ever closer. You find yourself deprived of sleep, skipping meals, struggling to concentrate. Year after year, it's the same old story. Exam stress: the number one cause of teenage anxiety.
Вы чувствуете, что давление начинает нарастать; темная туча нависает, становясь все ближе. Вы обнаруживаете, что лишены сна, пропускаете приемы пищи, изо всех сил пытаетесь сосредоточиться. Год за годом это все та же старая история. Стресс перед экзаменом: главная причина подростковой тревожности.

B You've probably heard about the majority of stress-busting tips out there. There are literally dozens of people telling you to sleep more, eat healthily and exercise. But it's all much easier said than done, isn't it? With your exams just around the corner, what you need is a quick fix; something that will instantly boost your spirits and energise you for another stint in the library!
Вы, вероятно, слышали о большинстве советов по борьбе со стрессом. Буквально десятки людей советуют вам больше спать, правильно питаться и заниматься спортом. Но все это гораздо легче сказать, чем сделать, не так ли? Когда экзамены уже не за горами, вам нужно быстрое решение; что-то, что мгновенно поднимет вам настроение и зарядит энергией для следующего посещения библиотеки!

C While the idea may seem rather far-fetched, many students at Harvard and Yale universities champion the therapeutic effects of canine companionship. In fact, both institutions now have resident therapy dogs which are kept in counselling centres on campus. These dogs are freely available for students to visit at any time. They can even be borrowed through the library card system just as you would borrow a book!
Хотя эта идея может показаться довольно надуманной, многие студенты Гарвардского и Йельского университетов отстаивают терапевтический эффект общения с собаками. Фактически, в обоих учреждениях теперь есть постоянные терапевтические собаки, которые содержатся в консультационных центрах на территории кампуса. Эти собаки доступны для посещения студентами в любое время. Их даже можно взять напрокат через систему библиотечных карточек, как вы бы взяли книгу!

D Recent research into the effects of dog therapy shows that interaction with animals actually decreases cortisol (the stress hormone) and boosts endorphins, making people feel happy. This explains why students often leave the counselling centre with a smile across their face! As one librarian explains, "It has had positive effects, helping them to just have a moment to clear their minds and not have to think about studies."
Недавние исследования эффектов терапии собаками показывают, что взаимодействие с животными на самом деле снижает кортизол (гормон стресса) и повышает уровень эндорфинов, заставляя людей чувствовать себя счастливыми. Это объясняет, почему студенты часто покидают консультационный центр с улыбкой на лице! Как объясняет один библиотекарь, «это имело положительный эффект, помогая им просто на мгновение очистить свой разум и не думать об учебе».

The dogs used for these programmes are usually specially chosen for their roles. They must be calm animals which can get on well with strangers and enjoy human contact. Most of the time, visitors simply pet the dogs in order to lift their spirits. However, the dogs are trained to play or do tricks as well.
Собак, используемых для этих программ, обычно специально выбирают для их ролей. Они должны быть спокойными животными, которые могут хорошо ладить с незнакомцами и получать удовольствие от общения с людьми. Чаще всего посетители просто гладят собак, чтобы поднять им настроение. Однако собак также обучают играть или делать трюки.

E Therapy dogs are not only limited to beating exam stress. They are actually employed for a variety of roles, including helping hospitalised patients, elderly people and those suffering in disaster areas. The presence of an animal has proven not only to reduce stress but to alleviate pain and lower blood pressure. Their unconditional love also provides people with companionship and support in difficult times.
Собаки-терапевты не ограничиваются только тем, чтобы бороться со стрессом во время экзамена. На самом деле их используют для самых разных целей, включая помощь госпитализированным пациентам, пожилым людям и тем, кто страдает в зонах стихийных бедствий. Доказано, что присутствие животного не только снижает стресс, но и облегчает боль и снижает кровяное давление. Их безусловная любовь также обеспечивает людям компанию и поддержку в трудные времена.

F Now, if you're unable to find a local therapy dog to ease your exam stress, don't panic! Studies show that many animals, such as cats and even goldfish, can have a therapeutic effect on people. The animals don't even need special training to make you feel better. Perhaps you or your friend has a pet at home? If so, the next time you feel like pulling out your hair, why not take a moment to play with them instead?
Теперь, если вы не можете найти местную собаку-терапевта, чтобы снять стресс во время экзамена, не паникуйте! Исследования показывают, что многие животные, такие как кошки и даже золотые рыбки, могут оказывать терапевтическое воздействие на людей. Животным даже не нужна специальная дрессировка, чтобы вы почувствовали себя лучше. Возможно, у вас или вашего друга есть дома домашнее животное? Если так, то в следующий раз, когда вам захочется вырвать себе волосы, почему бы не уделить время игре с ними?
