C. Take a step away from him while standing with one side toward him and immediately crouch down and clap your hand.

Last Newsletter Quiz's answer: What did Ivan Pavlov demonstrate concerning a dog's ears?

B . A puff of air into a dog's ear stimulates a spinal reflex to bite at the source of the air. For this reason, if you ever see your child watching TV when a kid is shown gleefully hugging a dog's neck, it's best to warn your youngster about the very real danger of getting seriously bitten.

"William And The Windmill" is a multimedia presentation from "The Star" in Canada about William Kamkwamba and is story (that is getting more known everyday) of putting together scraps to make a windmill to generate electricity in Malawi. Not only is the video well-made, most of it is closed-captioned and accessible to English Language Learners.

Malawi windmill boy with big fans is a BBC article about the same story, just in case you want to learn more about him.
