你喜欢海洋动物吗？海洋里有很多神奇的动物，比如海豚。你知道为什么人们总说海豚很聪明吗？
Many people say dolphins are intelligent. They seem to be able to think, understand and learn quickly. Dolphins use their brains to think and learn differently from humans. But scientists say dolphins and humans are like each other in some ways. Why?
Dolphins have their own names. Every dolphin has a specific whistle on their first birthday. They can talk about feelings, ages and looking for food. Some scientists are trying to learn how to understand dolphins’ talking. Dolphins live in groups and play together. They also know how to work together to get food. When there are many fish near the boat, they signal to the fishermen to put the net into the sea.
