  Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami(海哺),adding weight to ideas they possess a "sixth sense" for disasters, experts said on Thursday.

  Sri Lanka wildlife officials have said the giant waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island's coast seemingly missed wild beasts, with no dead animals found.

  "No elephants are dead,not even a dead hare or rabbit. I think animals can sense disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening," H. D. Ratnayake, deputy director of Sri Lanka's Wildlife Department, said on Wednesday.

  The waves washed floodwaters up to 3 km (2 miles) inland at Yala National Park in the southeast, Sri Lanka's biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants. "There has been a lot of evidence about dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. But it has not been proven," said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behaviour spe?cialist at Johannesburg Zoo.

  "There have been no specific studies because you can't really test it in a lab or field set?ting ,"he said.

Other authorities agreed with this conclusion.

  "Wildlife seem to be able to pick up certain phenomenon, especially birds. There are many reports of birds detecting coming disasters," said Clive Walker,who has written several books on African wildlife.

  Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators(食肉动物).

  The idea of an animal "sixth sense" is a lasting one that the evidence on Sri Lanka's damaged coast is likely to add to.

  When I lived in Spain,some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Be?fore they left,they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation(住所).I suggested that they should stay at " bed and breakfast" houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my ad?vice,but they came back with some funny stories.

  "We didn't stay at ' bed and breakfast' houses," they said, "because we found that most families were away on holiday.”

  I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought " VACANCIES" meant "holidays" , because the Spanish word for "holidays" is "vacaciones". So they did not go to house where the sign outside said " VACAN?CIES",which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said " NO VACANCIES" ,because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!

We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Span?ish,the word "DIVERSION" means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road,and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word "DIVERSION" on a road sign,they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hold.

  English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris,when someone offered me some more coffee, I said "Thank you" in French. I meant that I would like some more,however,to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away!Later I found out that "Thank you" in French means "No,thank you."

 From Daban, we move to another ancient small town,Loulan. Daban town is famous for girls and windmills, while Loulan is a myth(神话)in the desert.

  Two thousand years ago,beside the beautiful and rich Luobu Lake,there lay Loulan ancient city of the Silk Road. Businessmen from every country gathered here and there were dancing parties. Everything showed that people in Loulan lived a rich life then.

  However, two thousand years later, this rich land suddenly disappeared from the map of China. Then it became an area covered with sand and dead tree trunks.

  Loulan was first "discovered" by a Swedish man in 1900. People from America, Britain, Japan and Sweden, all set foot here. Then in the 1930s, a Chinese named Huang Wenbi came to Loulan for the first time. He visited and studied this area and found many relics that were beautifully and carefully made.

  It is recorded that the ancient city of Loulan was the capital of Loulan Kingdom during the Han and Jin Dynasties(朝代),and covered an area of some 100 ,000 square metres.

In the past century many things have been dug out there including Han Dynasty coins,mirrors and many things from Greek and Roman. All these things show that a lot of business between East and West once took place there.

  Lying on the northwest of the Lop Nur area,the Loulan Kingdom is now a lifeless area with endless "forests" of mounds(小丘)which aren't easily seen in other parts of the world. Its mystery has been attracting so many people from so many countries.
