Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 46 to 50:
The first system of communication of animals is natural Many kinds of animals have ways of communicating with each other And one of the most interesting examples is that of bees These insects
communicate with each other by dancing The most important kind of dance that they do is concerned with
food They get their food from flowers, of course, from plants and trees When a bee has found some food, it returns to the other bees and can give them three basic kinds of information about the food: which direction it is
in, whether it is nearby or a long way away, and whether it is good to eat or poisonous
The other kind of system of communication of animals is artificial It means animals learn it; in this case, they learn from man Several famous experiments have been carried out with chimpanzees, trying to teach them human language
One of these experiments was done with a chimpanzee called Sarah Sarah was taught to understand a system of symbols which represented words The symbols were cut out of coloured plastic, and each different shape stood for a different word For example, a red square stood for “banana”, Sarah’s favorite fruit Soon Sarah could not only understand words, but even sentences She could obey orders: if her human friends put down the symbols for “apple in cup”, she would put the apple in the cup Later, she began giving the scientists orders – she was writing her own sentences, and she got upset if the scientists did not obey her We do not yet know whether chimpanzees will ever learn to use language to communicate as freely as human beings do, but the results so far suggest that this is at least a possibility
