What could be cuter than your puppy giving his doggy friend a kiss on the nose? Nothing，really．But is your dog actually planting a kiss on his friend? Yes，but that’s only one of the reasons your dog may lick another dog’s nose．Here are some other reasons why your dog may lick another dog’s nose．  
During an introduction，a shy and lower-ranking dog will lower his head，avoid direct eye contact and gently extend his tongue to lick the nose of a more confident and high-ranking dog．The first dog licks the nose of the second dog to simply make it know that：he comes in peace．   
Dogs who are already friends will also trade kisses．Two strongly bonded dog pals will lick and clean each other．They give each other “dog kisses” showing friendship．
Puppies also “kiss” their mothers，but it"s not a gesture of love．When puppies stop suckling(吸吮)their mothers’ tits for milk and start to eat semisolid(半固体)food instead；they lick their mothers’ mouths and noses in the hope of getting the mother to regurgitate(反哺) some semi-digested food．
So how to help your bashful dog make friends with other dogs? You can carefully select confident-but-friendly and good-tempered dogs to play with your shy dog，to help him develop his social skills．Also consider taking him to a special training class that focuses on socialization and positive training technique．
Do not disturb them when your two dogs play “kiss” briefly with each other．Sit back and enjoy this display of friendship．Then call them over and have them do a command such as “sit’’ or “shake paws”．Offer them treats as a reward for being good to each other．
If you foster(收养)a dog and have three or more resident dogs，introduce the foster dog to your brood dog one at a time and let muzzle licking between them happen naturally．Start with your least reactive or most friendly dog．Never force an in production between the dogs because this can deepen the foster dog’s submissiveness or spark a fight．

解析

试题分析：文章大意：没有比狗狗亲吻另一只狗狗更可爱的了，狗狗之间舔鼻子或亲吻是友好的表现。也是朋友间友谊的展现，也可能是幼崽向妈妈求食的信号。
小题1:细节理解题。从第二段The first dog licks the nose of the second dog to simply make it know that：he comes in peace.可知一只地位较低的狗狗舔地位较高的狗狗是在告诉对方自己没有恶意。故B正确。
小题2:细节理解题。根据文章第三段They give each other “dog kisses” showing friendship．可知当两只狗成为朋友之后，它们通过相互亲吻来展示友谊。故D正确。
小题3:推理判断题。根据文章第五段You can carefully select confident-but-friendly and good-tempered dogs to play with your shy dog，to help him develop his social skills．可以推测出bashful为shy之意。故A正确。
小题4:细节理解题。根据文章第六段Offer them treats as a reward for being good to each other．可知当两只狗互示友谊之后，你应该给它们一些奖励。故D正确。
小题5:推理判断题。根据文章第一段Here are some other reasons why your dog may lick another dog’s nose．可知，文章讲述的是狗狗为什么会亲吻其它的狗狗。故B正确。
