Food and Plants (B) How do animals communicate (交流) with each other? They have special languages. In fact, they are using signals (信号). Different signals have different meanings. For example, when a bee (蜜蜂) finds food somewhere, it flies home quickly. It can’t speak, but it can tell others by dancing. Other bees will know where and how far the food is. Some animals show their feelings by making sounds. For example, when a dog is angry, it barks (吠). At this time, you’d better stay away from it. Birds can make several sounds to show different meanings. Sometimes we humans show feelings by making sounds instead of by speaking. For example, when we feel painful (疼痛的), we cry“Oh!”or“Ouch!”. We humans have languages and words. We can communicate face to face by speaking. We can write down what happened in order to remember clearly. We can also send (寄) messages to people far away. But animals can’t. 根据短文内容，判断正（T）误（F）。 ( )31. Humans and animals both have their own languages. ( )32. A bee can tell others the messages by singing songs. ( )33. Birds can make different sounds to show different meanings. ( )34. All the animals can communicate with others far away. ( )35. When a dog is not happy, you’d better keep away from it. (C) Now many people like to keep dogs as their pets. But how did dogs become humans’ close friends? In some places of Europe (欧洲), about 10,000 years ago, some wild (野生的) dogs often came to human’s houses to find food. The wild dogs looked different from the ones today. They looked like wolves (狼). At first, they felt ① frightened. They always stood and looked for a short time. Then they got the food and ran away. Sometimes the young dogs couldn’t run fast and people caught them. People trained them and the young dogs grew up with the help of people. Slowly, the wild dogs became home dogs. They could make home safe when people were away. They helped people hunt (狩猎). They helped people keep warm on cold nights. ② Sometimes, they could smell and hear danger before people could. In some cold places, they helped people pull (拉) things people need. Now there are more than 400 different kinds of dogs in the world. And they look different from each other. The number and kind are growing all the time. Today, some people mainly (主要地) regard dogs as pets. In fact, dogs are really our close friends. We should protect them from being killed. 根据短文内容，完成任务。 任务一：判断正（T）误（F）。 ( )36.
