Man has a big brain(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, birds can learn too. They are beginning to understand that men are different from animals because they can speak. Animals cannot speak. They make noises when they are afraid, or angry or unhappy. Apes(类人猿) can understand some things more quickly than humans. One or two of them have learnt a few words. But they cannot join words to make sentences. They cannot think like us because they have no language. Language is a wonderful thing. Man has been able to build a modern world because he has language. 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 really know. What happens inside our body when we speak? They do not know. They only know that man can speak because he has a brain.

BEIJING—Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has visited the "left-behind"(留守) children whose parents are working in cites before Children's Day.
    During a visit to northwest China's Shanxi Province, Wen visited the home of Yang Saike, a primary school boy in a village of Xingping City.
