| Animals, including insects, don"t have a "language" like ours. They do not "talk" to each other in words and sentences. But if we watch them, we can see that they do have their ways of communicating (交流) with each other. Can you see the rabbit"s tail? When rabbits see this white tail moving up and down, they run away. They know that they are in danger. The rabbit has told them something without making a sound. It has given them a signal. Many other animals use this kind of "language". When a cobra (眼镜蛇) is angry, it raises its head and makes itself look powerful (有力的). This warns other animals. When a bee (蜜蜂) has found food, it goes back to its home. It cannot "tell" the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little dance. This tells the bees where the food is. Some animals "say" things by making sounds. A dog barks, for example, when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs when it is pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning. Sometimes we human beings speak in the same way. We make sounds like "Oh" or "Ah" when we are frightened or pleased or when we drop something on our toes. | |||

| If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps using his memory. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. Have you ever found that some people can"t read or write but they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook.
