Control work for the 7th grade Rainbow English Unit 4

1. True or False

If you have a dog you love as a pet, it usually lives in your home, keeps you company, and goes on trips with you. So it is hard to believe that dogs see the world around them not like we, humans, do. Dogs cannot see any colours. Scientists have had a lot of tests to show that. For example, one colour was a signal for food, the other colours were not and dogs couldn’t see the difference. But dogs’ fantastic sense of smell helps them to tell things apart.

What about cats? Cats cannot see colours either. Cats hunt at night when everything is dark and colours are not important. Is there any animal that is able to see colours? As far as scientific tests say, the only animal other than man can do it is the monkey.
