17、 bed all day. She felt sad and blue because other children werent allowed to come near her.She could do nothing but look out of the window. One day she saw a strange shape outside the window. It was a panda eating bamboo. The panda said “Good afternoon” to the girl, and then turned around and left.O
18、f course, the girl was very surprised. She was still trying to work out what had happened, when outside her window she saw a giraffe blowing up a balloon. Then more and more animals appeared outside the window. She laughed happily. The little girl didnt tell anyone about this because who would belie
19、ve her? Even so, those strange characters ended up putting joy back in her heart, and in her body.Before long, her health improved so much that she was able to go back to school again. There she got to talk to her friends, and told them all the strange things she had seen. While she was talking to h

24、ey would have told you that it seemed very impossible. It was believed that only humans can imagine the future. Some people were told that most monkeys are cleverer than most dogs. Besides, if all dogs seem down when theyve done something bad, youd have been told that dogs learn such action so as to
25、 please their owners. It doesnt mean that dogs understand why their owners might be angry at them. It doesnt mean that animals can think about the future.Now, however, it appears that chimpanzees and monkeys may be able to think about the future. Santino is a chimpanzee who lives at a zoo in Sweden.
26、 It is famous for his bad temper (脾气). Santino dislikes being looked at by visitors and he throws stones at them.Before visitors walked into the zoo, he must have decided that he needed to be prepared for visiting days. He began collecting stones so that he would be fully ready to throw when people
27、came to see him. The interesting thing was that Santino would only collect stones when visitors were expected. In winter, when the zoo was closed, he didnt make troubles.Santinos action is a clear example of an animal planning for the future. Its also an example of how we ought to check that “scient

For example; in many places, people have the custom of celebra
