Do animals have a culture? What do we mean by “culture?” Lately social scientists have begun to ask if culture is found just in humans, or if some animals have culture too. When we speak of culture, we mean a way of life a group of people have in common. Culture includes the beliefs and attitudes we learn. It is the patterns( 样式 ) of behavior that help people to live together. It is also the patterns of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.
Our culture lets us make up for having lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses. Instead we use tools, cooperate with one another, and communicate ( 交流 ) with language. But these aspects of human behavior, or “culture,” can also be found in the lives of certain animals. Animals can make tools, for example. We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and other animals. Lately, however, we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees( 黑猩猩 ) can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to know that the line dividing(区分 ) us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.
1.When we talk about “culture”, we mean________.
A. book language of behavior we learn B. the patterns of behavior we learn
C. traditional ideas D. people’s habits
2.We thought ____________ was the biggest difference between human beings and other animals.
A. cooperating with one another B. communicating with language
C. using tools D. losing long teeth
3.It’s ___________ that animals have a culture too.
A. sure B. unbelievable C. possible D. important
4. The main idea of the passage is ___________.
A. chimpanzees can learn to use sign language to make sentences
B. other animals can invent tools.
C. knowledge and communication are no longer signs
D. the line dividing human culture from animal culture is not as clear as we might think

A man once had a dream about the Black Forest in Germany. In his dream he was walking in the forest when two men ran out and tried to throw him to the ground. He ran off as fast as he could, but they followed him. He reached a place where he saw two roads in front of him, one to the right and the other to the left. Which road should he take? He heard the two men behind him, getting nearer, and at the same time he heard a voice in his ear. It told him to go to the right, and he did so. He ran on and soon came to a small hotel.
