Man has a big brain
(大脑). He can think, learn and speak. Scientists once thought that men are different from animals because they can think and learn. They know now that dogs, rats and birds can learn, too. They are beginning to understand that men are different from animals because they can speak. Apes(类人猿)can understand some things more quickly than man, one or two of them have learnt a few words. But they cannot make sentences with words. They cannot think like us because they have no language. Language is a wonderful thing. Man can make our world more beautiful because he has languages. Every child can speak his own language very well when he is four or five, but no animal learns to speak. How do children learn it? Scientists do not know. What makes us speak? They do not know. They only know that man can speak because he has a brain. Animals cannot speak. They make noises when they are afraid, or angry or unhappy.根据短文内容选择最佳答案。
