题目内容
15.A study shows that parrots are actually quite smart.The birds can find food using clues (线索) that a human child can't understand until the age of 3.That's what a study carried out on Grey Parrots at the University of Vienna recently found,Live Science reported.In the study,the parrots were shown two boxes.One box had food in it while the other was empty.The scientist shook the box with food in so it made a noise.The parrot could tell that the noisy box was holding food.But when they mixed the boxes around and shook the empty one first,the parrot would go straight for the other box. It could tell that no sound meant there was no food inside.
The result shows that parrots don't just judge (判断)by using eyes.They also use sound."It suggests that Grey Parrots can understand causality (因果关系),"said scientist Christian Schloegl.
One scientist tried to confuse the parrots with a small speaker hidden in his sleeve (袖子).The speaker played recording (录音) of the shaking sound.Sometimes they would shake the box in one hand but make the sound appear from the opposite hand.The parrots would pick the correct box more often when the noise came from the hand that was shaking the box.The birds understand the connection (联系) between movement and sound.Who knows what else these animals can do?

分析 文章大意:一个研究表明,鹦鹉实际上非常聪明.它们会根据线索寻找食物,而人类幼儿要到三岁才能懂得这样做.这就是维也纳大学关于非洲灰鹦鹉的研究中得出的结论,据《生命科学》报道.在研究中,向鹦鹉展示了两个盒子.其中一个盒子有食物,而另一个是空的.科学家摇晃有食物的盒子,由此会发出声音.这些鹦鹉能够(通过行为)表示能发出声音的盒子是装有食物的那个.不仅如此,当科学家把盒子都混在一起,先摇晃空盒子,鹦鹉也能够直接走向另一个(有食物的)盒子.这表明它知道(盒子)没有发出声音意味着没有食物在内.这个结果说明,鹦鹉不仅仅用视觉来判断,他们通过听觉(判断)."这暗示了灰鹦鹉懂得因果关系."科学家Christian Schloegl说.一位科学家把一个小型喇叭藏在自己的袖子里,试图迷惑鹦鹉.小喇叭放出摇晃盒子的录音.有时科学家们用一只手摇盒子,而通过另一只手(里的喇叭)播放声音.鹦鹉则会更频繁地选择正确的盒子,当声音从摇盒子的那只手里传出.鹦鹉懂得声音与动作之间的关系.有谁知道这些动物还懂做啥?
