二、阅读理解
① Like humans, sometimes animals also need to communicate（沟通）with each other. They communicate to tell each other where food is or to show how they feel. In fact, there are many ways for animals to do that.
② The first and most usual way is by using sound. For example, if the monkey sees a snake, it'll give an alarm call for all the other monkeys to climb onto the trees. It means they're in danger. Another example is the dolphin. Each dolphin has a special whistle（口哨声）. This is similar to calling someone by his or her name. Scientists even think dolphins will whistle to talk to each other about a situation or the day's events.
③ A second way animals communicate is through body language. For example, a pet dog will keep moving its tail when it is happy or excited. A scared cat will stand with its back high. Bees dance in patterns to tell other bees where and how far food is.
④ Another kind of animal communication is touch. For example, giraffes will wrap their necks together if they like each other. Horses touch their noses together as a sign that they are comfortable with another horse. Some monkeys will touch their hands together to say "Hello".
⑤ Next time you may watch carefully how two animals are communicating with each other when you meet them. It must be great fun.
