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
Let's Make a Deal Some animals are intelligent enough to know how to bargain with people.
Tale of a Whale Animals like whales can assess a situation and act accordingly. Primate Shell Game Animals sometimes can be tricky.

事情是这样的：那个男子叫李伟，小时候太懒散，什么都不肯学。

由于几乎没有受过教育，没有掌握有用的技术，所以他很难挣到足够维持生活的工资。

他的生活经历使他充分认识到一个道理：他必须首先获得知识，然后才能积累财富。

李伟发誓要跟儿子一起上学，下决心努力学习。

This morning I heard an interesting piece of news over my portable radio: A man of 36 and his son of 10 attend the same class competing with each other for high marks. The story goes/It's like this:
The man, Li Wei by name, was too idle to learn anything when young. With little education, with no useful skills, he could hardly earn an adequate living wage. His life experiences drove home to him the point that he had to acquire knowledge before he was able to accumulate wealth. So Li Wei swore that he would go to school with his son, determined to learn.
