Many animals use some kinds of“ language ”．They use signals(信号)and the signals have meanings(意义)．
For example, when a bee has found some food, it goes 1 its home．It is 2 for a bee to tell 3 bees where the food is by speaking to 4 , but it can do a little dancing, This tells the’－bees where the food is and 5 it is．
Some animals show how they feel by making sounds．It is not difficult to tell if a dog is angry 6 it barks(吠)．
Birds make several different sounds and 7 has its own meaning．Sometimes we humans(人类)make sounds 8 ．We make sounds like “Oh!” or “Oueh!” to show how we feel about something or when we 9 something on our feet．
We have languages．We have words．These words have the meanings of things, action(行动)，feeling or ideas．We are able to give each other information(信息)，writing down words．We can 10 what has happened or send messages to people far away．
Once there 1 a very old farmer in a village．His name was Jack．He had an old horse．It was almost as 2 as he was．One day he went to the market with his son to 3 the horse before it died．They walked because the father didn’t want the horse to be too tired．
They met two neighbors on 4 way．The neighbors said,
‘Hello, why are you walking?You have a horse, it’s a long way to the market．’ Jack knew that was true, so he rode on the horse 5 his son was walking．Then they met two old women．‘ What are you doing there?Can’t you see how 6 your boy is?’ So Jack got down, and his son rode instead．
Next, three old men stopped them．One of them said, ‘ Why are you walking, Jack?Get 7 ．It’s too hot 8 an old man like you to walk today．’ So Jack got on behind his son and they rode on．Some time 9 , a girl passed them．‘Why aren’t you walking?’ she asked．‘ It’s not far from the market．Give your poor horse a rest．’ So Jack and his son got down once again for a rest…
