As I begin to tell my friends about the seven days you treated my wife, Laura, in what turned out to
be the last days of her young life, they stop me at about the 15th name that I recall. The list includes the
doctors, nurses, social workers, and even cleaning staff members who cared for her.

shots, you apologized that it was going to hurt a little, whether or not she could hear. When you listened
to her heart and lungs through your stethoscope (听诊器) and her gown (长衫) began to slip, you pulled
it up to cover her. You spread a blanket when the room was just a little cold and you thought she’d sleep more comfortably that way.
You cared so greatly for her parents, helping them climb into the room’s awkward recliner (躺椅),
getting them fresh water almost by the hour, and answering every one of their medical questions with patience.
Then there was how you treated me. How many times did you walk into the room to find me sobbing,
my head down and resting on her hand, and quietly go about your task, as if willing yourselves
invisible? How many times did you help me set up the recliner as close as possible to her bedside? How
many times did you check on me to see whether I needed any thing, from food to drink from fresh clothes to a hot shower.
Really, I have all of you to thank for it with my lifelong thanks and love.

In 1977,
Irene Pepperberg of Harvard University began studying what was on another creature’s mind
by talking to it. Her first experiments began with Alex. Alex was a one-year-old African grey parrot and
Irene taught him to make the sounds of the English language. “I thought if he learned to communicate, I
could ask him questions about how he sees the world.”
At the time, most scientists didn’t believe animals had any thoughts. They thought animals were
more like robots but didn’t have the ability to think or feel. Of course, if you own a pet, you probably
disagree. But it is the job of a scientist to prove this and these days more scientists accept that animals can think for themselves.
“That’s why I started my studies with Alex,” Irene said, “Some people, in fact, called me crazy for trying this.”
These days, we have more and more proofs that animals have all kinds of mental abilities. Sheep can
tell faces from each other. Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) use different kinds of tools and even use weapons to hunt. And Alex, the parrot became a very good talker.
Thirty years after the Alex studies began, Irene was still giving him English lessons until his recent
death. For example, if Alex was hungry, he could say “want grape”. Alex could count to six and was
learning the sounds for seven and eight.
“He has to hear the words over and over before he can correctly say them.” Irene said, after pronouncing “seven” for Alex a few times in a row. Alex could
also tell the difference between colors, shapes, sizes, and materials (e.g. wood and metal). Before he
finally died, Alex managed to say “seven”. K12教育资源学习用资料
B. comparing facts
D. showing different opinions

Another famous pet that proved some animals have greater mental skills was a dog called Rico. He
appeared on a German TV game show in 2011. Rico knew the names of 200 different toys and easily
learned the names of new ones. When Rico became famous, many other dog owners wanted to show
how clever their pets were. Another dog called Betsy could understand 300 words.
One theory for dogs’ ability to learn a language is that they have been close companions to humans
for many centuries and so their ability to understand us is constantly evolving (进化 ). While animals
can’t do what humans do yet, some scientists believe that examples like Alex and Rico prove that
evolution develops intelectual ability, as well as physical appearance. ( ) 38. Irene wanted to find out ______.
