They do not talk to each other in words and sentences. But if we watch them, we can see that they do have ways of communicating with each other. Can you see the rabbits9 tail? When rabbits see this white tail moving up and down, they will run. The rabbit has reminded them of potential dangers 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 “hood” and makes itself look fierce. This warns other animals. When a bee has found some 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 in the air. 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 (发出呼噜 声）when 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. But we have something that no animals havea large number of words which have the meanings of things，actions， feelings or ideas.

One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior. John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in sports, so I encouraged him to join our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he could do well in any event, and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted the offer, and began to work hard at every practice. About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, John, I really appreciate that you came out for the track team, but why didnt you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more, since youre so good at it. John answered, Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason. From then on, I often remember my s
