Alex knew colors and shapes．He learned about 150 English words．With his language ability he made himself known as perhaps the world’s most famous talking bird．

But Alex．a parrot，died two weeks ago when he was 31．Irene，a psychologist（心理学家）at Harvard University，studied and worked with the parrot for nearly 30 years．

In 1977, Irene, then an excellent student in chemistry at Harvard, bought Alex from a pet store．At that time, scientists were not quite sure whether birds could learn to communicate with humans．

But using the methods of teaching, Irene helped Alex to learn about 150 words, and to count small numbers, as well as colors and shapes．

In experiments, Irene would give Alex a small reward （奖励）, like a grape．Alex learned to ask for the grape by watching what the trainer was doing to get it．The researchers then worked with the bird to help him with pronunciation．

Alex showed a surprising ability to learn．For example, when he was shown a blue paper circle, he could tell what color the paper was, what shape it was, and after touching it what it was made of．

Like other parrots, he also picked up some words when staying in the lab, like "calm down" and "good morning"．He could also show his happiness and sadness．

Even before the week he died, Alex was working with Irene on difficult words． As she put him into his cage for the night that Thursday, Irene said that Alex looked at her and said," You be good．See you tomorrow．I love you．"

He was found dead in his cage the next morning．

In many western schools，sports day is a big event．Children take part in competitive（竞争性的）sports，trying to break school records and take the first place．

Sports days，or sports meets，are usually held in the warmer seasons, either at the beginning or the end of the school year．They are also called field days．

Primary school sports days are fun．They usually have activities such as the egg and／he spoon race and the sack race．Other events include the skipping race（跳绳） and the three—legged race．In middle and high schools，sports days include many of the common track and field events（田径项目）．They are more serious and competitive than primary school ones．

Students' parents and other relatives also come to the school on sports days．They watch children play．Many schools in the West have "mothers and fathers" races for parents to take part in!

Although sports days are exciting, they also have some problems．According to some reports in the US, sports days have become too competitive to be good for students．Some parents put too much pressure （压力） on the children．Some schools don’t have "mothers and fathers" races any more as there is much fighting and cheating．

2．When are sports days usually held in the school year?

3．What are primary school and middle school sports days like?

4．Who would come to the school to watch children play on sports days?
