D Animals Cmmunicate?
When we think f cmmunicatin, we usually think f using spken language. But in fact we cmmunicate far mre in ther ways. Our eyes and facial expressins usually tell the truth even when ur wrds d nt.
Then there are gestures: raising the eyebrws, tapping the fingers, ndding and shaking the head. There is als bdy language f psture: Are yu sitting r standing with arms r legs crssed? Is that persn standing with hands held in frnt f the bdy r hidden behind?
S d animals cmmunicate? As we have learnt, there is mre t cmmunicate than wrds.
Take dgs fr example. They shw their teeth t warn, shake their tails t welcme, and stand firm with hair upright t fight. These signals are surely the equals f the human bdy language f facial expressins, gestures and psture.
Clr can be an imprtant means f cmmunicatin fr animals. Many birds and fishes change clr, fr example, t attract partners during the mating(交配) seasn. And mating itself is cmmnly dne after a special dance which bth partners take part in.
Here, again, there are striking similarities t yung men and wmen wh dress up t meet partners at parties, where the music is ften t lud fr wrd cmmunicatin. Cmmunicatin there takes place thrugh appearance and mvement.
The mst carefully planned dances in the animal kingdm are thse that bees use t cmmunicate. With bdy mvements alne they can tell ther bees the directin and distance f a newly discvered fd.
All these examples may suggest instinctive(本能的) rather than intelligent cmmunicatin. And, in many ways, bdy language says far mre than intelligent wrd cmmunicatin ever can.
30. Ndding and shaking the head is a ________.
A. pstureB. facial expressinC. gestureD. spken language
31. Dgs’ shaking their tails means ________.
A. warningB. laughingC. fightingD. welcming
32. Which f the fllwing is TRUE accrding t the text?
A. Clr is nt a way f cmmunicatin fr animals.
B. A special dance ften takes place befre mating.
C Many birds and fishes change clr t hide themselves.
D. Wrd cmmunicatin is better at parties where music is s lud.
33. Bees use bdy mvements t ________.
A. tell ther bees where t g and hw far it is
B. cmmunicate where they have been
C. attract partners t cmmunicate
D. shw their victry
