  People have always wanted to speak with animals.There are many books about this, especially children books.Now there are also movies, such as Dr.Doolittle.When you watch animals, it seems clear that they can communicate with each other.Many people wonder why people can’t also communicate with them.

  Scientists know how some animals communicate.Bees, for example, use their bodies.They do a kind of dance to give information about food.Birds, on the other hand, share information with sounds.They use certain sounds to protect their homes and to stay together when they fly.Some male(雄性)birds use lovely songs to attract a female(雌性).Other animals communicate with both body movements and sounds.For example, dogs wag(摇摆)their tails(尾巴)when they are happy, and they bark(吠)when they are excited.

  People used to think it was possible to teach human language to animals.Parrots and other birds, for example, can learn to say words.But the birds just repeat the words.They don’t understand them.Some American scientists tried to teach English to chimpanzees, close relatives of human beings.However, this was impossible.Chimpanzees can’t move their mouths the right way.They could never learn to speak like people.

  Then scientists tried to teach human language to chimpanzees in other ways.Some tried with American Sign Language(ASL).Others tried with a simple computer.But chimpanzees could only learn to use a few words.They could never learn to use grammar.Their brains are very different from the brains of human beings.

  Now some scientists are studying the same points between human and animal language.In fact, some animals use sounds like people do.Dogs, for example, use an unpleasant, low sound to tell other dogs to stay away.People, too, use that kind of voice to say the same things.A dog’s noisy bark communicates that something is happening.People use the same high tone when they shout,“Watch out!”

  Scientists want to understand the language of other animals, such as whales and bears.To do this, they go out to the animals’ natural homes.They watch the animals for days or even years.They take pictures and make tapes recordings and share the information with other scientists.In this way, they hope to learn more about the way animals communicate, and maybe someday we’ll be able to communicate better with them.

    People have always wanted to speak with animals. There are many books about this, especially children
books. Now there are also movies, such as Dr. Doolittle. When you watch animals, it seems clear that they
can communicate with each other. Many people wonder why people can't also communicate with them. 
    Scientists know how some animals communicate. Bees, for example, use their bodies. They do a kind of
dance to give information about food. Birds, on the other hand, share information with sounds. They use
certain sounds to protect their homes and to stay together when they fly. Some male (雄性) birds use lovely
songs to attract a female (雌性). Other animals communicate with both body movements and sounds. For
example, dogs wag their tails when they are happy, and they bark when they are excited.
    People used to think it was possible to teach human language to animals. Parrots and other birds, for
example, can learn to say words. But the birds just repeat the words. They don't understand them. Some
American scientists tried to teach English to chimpanzees (黑猩猩), close relatives of human beings. However,
this was impossible. Chimpanzees can't move their mouths the right way. They could never learn to speak like
people.
    Then scientists tried to teach human language to chimpanzees in other ways. Some tried with American
Sign Language (ASL). Others tried with a simple computer. But chimpanzees could only learn to use a few
words. They could never learn to use grammar. Their brains are very different from the brains of human
beings.

  We need to be responsible for our environment. Being a frugal consumer(节俭的消费者) is one way to help. But, what exactly does that mean?
  Use It Up
  You can use things up instead of wasting them. Squeeze that last bit of toothpaste out of the tube. Use the last little piece of soap. Don't throw away any bits of the biscuit at the bottom of the box.
  Wear It Out
  You do not always need to have new things. Suppose your sneakers have broken laces, but they still fit you. Repair them and wear them longer. You don't have the latest iPhone until the old one doesn't work anymore. Then you can get a new one. Think twice before replacing something that still works.
  Make It Do
  When something you want is not on hand, look for something else that you already have to take its place. Suppose you are packing your lunch for tomorrow and want a butter sandwich. You are out of butter. Have a cheese sandwich instead so that you can use all of the cheese. Learn to fix broken toys instead of just throwing them away. With a little thought, you can make something do, instead of buying something new.
  Do Without
  Think about all those things that you would like to have. Do you really need them? How long will you really play with that new toy you saw on TV? Making the things that we want uses up your world's resources(资源). And, getting rid of the things we don't want any more takes up even more resources and space.
 【小题1】Do we need to be responsible for our environment?
 【小题2】 How do we deal with the last little piece of soap?
 【小题3】When do we need to get a new iPhone?
 【小题4】 What should we do when something we want is not on hand?
【小题5】What does the writer want to tell us?
