Unit 7 Animal Intelligence
Text A What Animals Really Think
Text Organization
Working on your own
Do the exercises and then compare your answers with a partner.
1.The text is a piece of expository writing. As mentioned in Unit
Three, the purpose of exposition is to explain -- explain what a certain phenomenon means, how an operation works, etc. Now, think over what the author, Eugene Linden, wants to express here and write it down.
Eugene Linden wants to tell the reader that animals do have, at least, some limited intelligence, and the personal experiences of those who are in close contact with animals are more convincing evidence than that any experiments can provide.
2.With subheadings the organization of the text is made very clear: the first two
paragraphs serve as an introduction; it is followed by supporting facts grouped under three subheadings; the last paragraph is the conclusion. Now put down the main idea of each part under their respective subheadings
Subheadings Main Ideas

Tale of a Whale Animals like whales can assess a situation and act accordingly.
Primate Shell
Game

我小时候常去家乡的动物园参观。

那里最吸引我的是一对老虎，特别是那只雄虎。

它们起初被关在一只大的铁笼子(cage)里，后来放了出来，被安置在一个叫虎山的地方。

二十年后我再度访问了这个动物园，欣慰地发现虎山仍在,但已扩大了许多。

在那里活动的共有大小六只老虎，而不是两只了。

When I was young I used to visit the zoo in my hometown. There what attracted me most was a couple of tigers, especially the male. They were kept in a huge iron cage at first, but later were released from it and moved to a place called Tiger Hill. Twenty years later, I revisited the zoo and was relieved to find the Tiger Hill was still there, but greatly extended. Moving around now were six tigers, old and young, instead of two!。
