One year ago Bertha and Grace became close friends at a college in Dartmouth. One day, Bertha said that her aunt Margaret had invited（邀请） her to spend the summer holiday with her. And they would have picnics and parties as well. But Grace told Bertha that she planned to stay in Clarkman’s bookstore until the new term began.
Grace had to do something to feed herself because her parents died many years ago. Bertha watched her friend’s pale (苍白的) face. Just then she got a good idea. The next day when Grace came back, Bertha showed her an invitation letter from her aunt Margaret.
“Grace, would you like to spend your holiday with us I will help you find a part-time job in our town.” Grace cried after reading it.
“Grace, please spend the holiday with me, or Margaret will be disappointed (失望的). I want you to be happy,” Bertha said.
The holiday quickly passed by, and finally one letter from Margaret came to Bertha.
“Bertha, Grace is the sweetest girl in the world, and I am very grateful(感激的) to you for sending her here.”

Animals, including insects（昆虫）, don’t have a ‘language’ like ours. They do not ‘talk’ to each
other in words and sentences（句子）. But if we watch them, we can see that they have their ways of communicating(交流) with each other.
Can you see the rabbit’s tail When rabbits see this white tail moving up and down, they run away. They know that they are in danger. The rabbit told them something without（没有） making a sound. It has given them a signal(信号).
Many other animals use this kind of ‘language’. When a cobra(眼镜蛇) is angry, it raises its head and makes itself look powerful(有力的). This warns other animals. When a bee(蜜蜂) found some food, it goes back to its home. It cannot ‘tell’ the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little dance. This tells the bees where the food is.
Some animals ‘say’ things by making sounds. A dog barks, for example, when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs when it is pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, evry sound has its own meaning. Sometimes we human beings（人类） speak in the same way. We make sounds like“Oh” or “Ah” when we are afraid or happy or when we drop something on our toes.
