Animals, including insects, do not have a language like ours. They do not talk to each other in words or sentences. But if we watch them, we can see that they do have ways to communicate.
Can you see the rabbit’s tail which is moving up and down? When rabbits see this white tail moving up and down, they are warning each other to run: They know that there is danger. The rabbit has told them something without making a sound. Many other animals use this kind of language. When a cobra(眼镜蛇) is angry, it raises its sound. It has given them a signal 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 a sound. A dog barks, for example when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs when pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning.
Sometimes we human beings speak in the same way. For example, 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 have—a large number of words which have the meanings, information in words and sentences, which no other animals can do. No other animals have so wonderful a language as we have.

Moving air—such as the wind on a breezing(微风的) day—often seems to “stick” to solid objects(固体), this experiment shows. You’ll need①A short candle in holder ②Matches ③Salt box and large container(容器) ④An adult helperWhat to do Step 1 Put the candle on the table and ask the adult to light it. Step 2 Put the container on the table next to the candle. Step 3 Blow on the other side of the container(no candle side) as shown in the picture. What happened? Why? The candle flickers(闪烁) and you may be able to blow it out. This is called the “Coanda effect” after a scientist from Romania. Air from your mouth divides into two steams when it hits the container. They flow around both sides, sticking close to the container. Then they join and blow out the candle. |
A.The candle should be lit and put on the cantainer. |
B.The adult should help to put the candle under the table. |
C.We should blow the container on the side of the candle. |
D.We should blow the container at the same height as the flame. |
A.To show candles can be blown out in front of a container. |
B.To show air from your mouth can be divided into halves. |
C.To show moving air may stick close to the solid objects. |
D.To show Coanda effect was found by a Romanian scientist. |

In the last century, differnet natural disasters have robbed several cultural heritage(遗产) from us. On WeChat, some people say, “What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonders anymore.” But people can see them in a new way---through a video game. In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like they are in reality, and see the wonders as they were before the fire.
Maybe digital technology(数字技术) could help protect cultural heritage better. This idea dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to develop since then. By scanning(扫 描) the ancient buildings, building 3D models, as well as measuring everything, engineers can make a copy exactly as the real one.
As computers and smart phones are popular, the digital copy has great value. First, it allows tourists to feel the cultural heritage without touching them, which helps protect them. The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes(敦煌石窟) is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them.
Second, it can make the cultural heritage more famous by spreading information about them through the internet. In 2000, a virtual tour of the Dunhuang Grottoes became very popular at the Hannover World Expo, which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting the site in the following years.
Last, it stores all the information of the cultural heritage. Even if the real ones are damaged one day, people can still know what they were like and can build a new one if wanted. Of course, however exact a model, it is not the real one.
Maybe we will have better technologies in the future, but the digital technology offers a practical way to protect cultural heritage at the moment.
