This November, I turn 26. This will be my third birthday as a wife. My husband doesn’t like parties nor does he remember the birthdays of his family members, including his own birthday! And he always refuses the idea of celebrating birthdays. For him it is only a waste of money and time! For me, celebrating a birthday is not a big deal as long as somebody remembers my birthday and says “happy birthday” to me, which will make my day brighter. And I’m sure my parents will call me and say these words, but not my husband. In my heart I still hope that he will remember my birthday. Until now, I only remember cebelebrating my birthday twice. The first time was when I turn 12 years old. I treated my close friends to a meal in the school canteen. But I will always remember my 17th birthday. It seemed that nobody in my class talked about my birthday that day. I thought there would be no celebrating so I felt unhappy. But after the bell rang to end the class, my friends threw gifts onto my desk and said, “Happy birthday” And that day became the happiest moment I ever experienced.

Elephants are able to differentiate between ethnicities(种族) and sexes, and can tell an adult from a child --- all from the sound of a human voice.

This is according to a study in which researchers played voice recordings to wild African elephants.

The animals showed more fear when they heard the voices of adult Masai men.

Livestock-herding Masai people do come into conflict with elephants, and this suggests that animals have adapted to specifically listen for and avoid them.

The study is published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Prof Karen McComb and Dr Graeme Shannon from the University of Sussex led the study. They explained that in previous research they had used similar playback experiments to show that elephants could tell --- from the sound of a lion’s roar --- whether the animal was a female or a more dangerous male.

Prof McComb wanted to find out if the animals used their very sharp sense of hearing to identify a potential danger from humans.

The scientists recorded Masai men, women and children saying, in their own language, “Look, look over there, a group of elephants is coming”.

They also recorded Kamba men saying this phrase.

While cattle-herding Masai people often come across free-ranging elephants, which can result in violent conflict, the Kamba people’s more agricultural lifestyle does not generally bring them into aggressive touch with the animals.

When the team played recordings of these different voices through a hidden loudspeaker, they found that elephant family groups reacted more fearfully in response to the voice of a Masai man, than to a Kamba man’s voice.

And the adult male Masai voices encouraged far more of these defensive reactions than the voices of women or boys.

1.An elephant can tell a man from a woman by sense of ________.

A. touch B. sight C. smell D. hearing

2.How did the researchers get to know the elephants’ special ability of identification?

A. By observing the elephants in the zoo.

B. By playing voice recordings to them.

C. By recording the behaviours of elephants.

D. By communicating with them in a special way.

3.We can learn from the passage that elephants are especially afraid of ________.

A. Masai men B. Masai women

C. Kamba men D. Kamba women

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A. Elephants and human beings

B. Differences between human voices

C. Elephants recognise human voices

D. Elephants conflict with human beings
