A bear and a monkey were good friends. One day, they took a walk together. The monkey said to the bear, “Look, here are some banana trees on the other side of the river but I can’t swim. Would you like to take me there on your back?” “Good, my friend,” said the bear.
Soon they got to the bank. The monkey climbed up a tree and began to eat bananas. He threw the skin (皮) of the bananas to the ground. The bear could not climb up the tree. He walked about and then lay down to sleep. When the monkey found the bear asleep, he shouted, “Stop, stop! Someone is eating bananas!” The owner came and he saw the bear and the skin of the bananas. The bear was beaten (被打) and he felt sad. When the bear took the monkey back, he asked, “Monkey, why did you shout?” The monkey said, “Oh, I have this habit and have to shout.” The bear understood and said, “I have a habit, too. I like to dance in the river.” With these words, ____________________________________.

Can dolphins talk? Maybe they can't talk with words, but they talk with sounds.
Dolphins travel in a group. We call a group of fish a "school". They don't study but they travel together. Dolphins are mammals（哺乳动物）, not fish; but they swim together in a school.
Dolphins talk to other dolphins in the school. The give information.
They tell when they are happy or sad or afraid. They say welcome when a dolphin comes back to school. They talk when they play.

Here, a penguin（企鹅）is telling you something about his life:I am a penguin. I live in the Antarctic（南极）with all my friends. Our home is very cold, like an ice box. Every day we see only snow and ice around us. In summer, the sun shines all the time. We don't have night at all. In winter, the sun never shines. Then, it's night all the time. We are happy here. Most of the time, we live in the water. I often swim with my friends in the water. I am a good swimmer. We can swim very fast. Sometimes we ride on big pieces of ice.
