She wished that he was as easy to please as her mother, who was always satisfied with a bottle of perfume. Besides, shopping at this time of the year was most unpleasant experience: people stepped on your feet, and almost knocked you over in their hurry to get ahead of you. Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter where she saw some beautiful ties. "They are real silk, the assistant said to her, trying to persuade her to buy one. "Worth double the price." But Edith knew from past experience that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father. She moved on and then stopped where a small crowd of men had gathered round a counter. She found some good quality pipes on sale---and the prices were very reasonable. Edith did not hesitatefor long: although her father only smoked s pipe occasionally. She knew that this was a present which was certain to please him. When she got home, with her small well-chosen present hidden in her handbag, her parents were already at the supper table. Her mother was especially happy.

  Not long ago, I spent the morning having coffee with Kanzi.He invited me.Kanzi is a bonobo, which is a close cousin of the chimpanzee.Researchers say Kanzi knows 384 words.But he probably knows more.He uses paper boards displaying colorful symbols that stand for the words.Kanzi can build thoughts and sentences by pointing at the boards.

  Sue Rumbaugh joined Kanzi and me for coffee.She is a zoologist at the Great Ape Trust which is a research center in Des Moines, Iowa, where Kanzi lives.The Great Ape Trust is

  home to seven bonobos.They have been raised from birth with both spoken language and symbols as part of each day·

  Scientists are discovering that humans are not the only animals that can use language or tools, or have feelings.Crows(乌鸦)are good at using tools, for example.In an experiment crows proved good at using some materials to create a hook(钩子).They used the hook to fish a basket of food out of a container.Monkeys practice charity.A former study showed that monkeys would share food with monkeys who are familiar to them rather than keeping all the food for themselves.Elephants mourn their dead.If they find elephant bones, they would gently examine them with what looks like sadness.

  Scientists have also found that the way animals hunt and live together may drive intelligence higher.Animals behave most cleverly when they are hunting for food together.Last year, Christilie Drea, an animal biologist, conducted an experiment in hyena(鬣狗)cooperation.She placed food on a platform.The animals could get the food only if they pulled on a strong thick string together.In less than two minutes, the hyenas figured out that cooperation was the key to success.

  Research is showing that animals are surprisingly intelligent.Our pets may know more than we ever imagined.And that is raising questions about how we treat them.Can animals feel? Should they be kept in zoos? What do you think?

Nowadays everybody seems to think that they know English. Many people speak it but few speak it really well. Practice is necessary in speaking English well.
Reading is also one of the things that will help you to speak English better. Read whenever you can and whatever you like! Read papers and Internet sites that you like in English every day. Then, you will see that the number of known words is increasing and you are able to speak with more skills. Then you will have made the foundations (基础) and a good basis of English. It is not good to stop and get stuck there.
Going to England or an English–speaking country is a good choice, but many people cannot afford it. If you cannot go, reading and speaking with your friends will also help you to practice your English. However, I think it is very good to visit some English – speaking country to see and test your knowledge in everyday life. You will understand the everyday usage of the language in its natural environment. There your level of English is going to improve even faster. Your ability to speak English is better. Nothing can match the excitement and happiness when a native speaker tells you that your English is very good!
Finally, in order to speak English well, you must be persistent (坚持的) and do it every day. It is like playing the piano. Pianists play it every day and so should you. Include English in your life and you will see where it is going. Practice, practice! Read, write and improve your language skills and you are on you way when you will be able to speak it with more and more confidence!
