But why do they do it, and how can we teach them? / In the wild, parrots live in groups. They use sounds to communicate with each other. They are social birds, and they learn by imitating the sounds around them. When a parrot lives with people, it hears human speech and copies it. / Training a parrot takes time. First, choose a short word, such as “hello”. Say it clearly, over and over again, at the same time every day. Second, give a reward when the bird makes a sound like the word. A small piece of fruit works well. Never punish the bird, because fear stops learning. / Some parrots can learn about 100 words. The best talkers are African grey parrots. They can even use words in the right situation. / But a parrot is not a toy. It needs space, good food and company. If you cannot take care of it for many years, please do not keep one. 任务一：单项选择 1.Why do parrots imitate sounds? A.To show off. B.Because they are social and communicate with sounds. C.Because they are hungry. D.To scare people. 2.What should you do when the bird makes the right sound? A.Punish it. B.Give it a reward. C.Ignore it. D.Put it in a dark room. 任务二：判断正误(T/F) 3.African grey parrots are good talkers. (　　) 4.Fear helps parrots learn faster. (　　) 任务三：简答 5.What does a parrot need besides space and good food? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage2（课外同源：海豚有多聪明） 　　Dolphins are among the most intelligent animals in the sea. They live in groups and communicate with sounds. Each dolphin has its own “name”—a special whistle that others use to call it. / Dolphins are excellent learners. In aquariums, trainers teach them to jump, to touch a ball and to swim through hoops. The trainers use hand signs and rewards. A dolphin can learn a new trick in a few weeks. / Dolphins can also solve problems. In one experiment, a dolphin had to get fish from a box. It could not open the box with its mouth, so it used a piece of wood as a tool. / Some scientists believe dolphins are as intelligent as some monkeys. They can recognise themselves in a mirror, and they seem to understand simple sentences. / But life in an aquarium is not easy for them. Dolphins swim many kilometres a day in the wild. “We should respect them,” says Dr Lin, a marine biologist. “They are not our toys. They are our neighbours in the sea.” 任务一：单项选择 1.How do dolphins communicate? A.With sounds and whistles. B.With colours. C.With letters. D.With smells. 2.What did the dolphin use as a tool? A.A piece of wood. B.A ball. C.A hoop. D.A mirror. 任务二：判断正误(T/F) 3.Each dolphin has its own special whistle. (　　) 4.Dolphins cannot recognise themselves in a mirror.

They live in groups and communicate with sounds and whistles. Each dolphin has its own special whistle, like a name. Dolphins learn quickly. In aquariums, trainers teach them to jump and to swim through hoops with hand signs and rewards. They can even use a piece of wood as a tool to get food. However, they need a lot of space and swim many kilometres a day in the wild. We should respect them and treat them as our neighbours in the sea. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
