    12．What does the story mainly talk about? A．Advantages and disadvantages of Esperanto. B．Men’s dream of sharing the same language. C．The most successful planned language-Esperanto. D．Comparison of Esperanto and other languages like English and Chinese. D London-Sheep, like turkeys and ostriches, are not considered the most clever animals. British scientists said last Wednesday humans may have understimatedthe wooly creatures. They could be much smarter than we think. Researchers at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, southern England, have shown that the animals have a good memory system and are extremely good at recognizing faces-which they think is a sure sign of intelligence. Behavioralscientist Keith Kendrick and his friends trained 20 sheep to recognize and distinguish 25 pairs of sheep faces and used electrodesto measure their brain activity, which showed they could remember 50 faces for up to two years. “If they can do that with faces, the fact is that they have to have reasonable intelligence; otherwise, what is the point of having a system for remembering faces and not remembering anything else, Kendrick said in an interview. So hours of seemingly mindless eating grass may not be so mindless after all. Kendrick believes sheep got their reputationas dumb animals because they live in large groups and do not appear to tend about everything. “All animals including humans, once they are frightened, don’t tend to show signs of intelligent action, he explained. In research reported in the science journal Nature, Kendrick and his team showed that sheep, like humans, have a specialized system in the brain which allows them to distinguish between many different faces which look extremely similar. “The most important finding is that they are able, both from a behavioral point of view and from looking at the way the brain is organized, to remember a large number of faces of individual for a very long time. Said Kendrick. “It is a very strange system. They are showing similar abilities in many ways to humans. 【查看更多】
