Remember we used to see many fireflies(萤火虫) shining in the grass on summer evenings? Now we are lucky if we see one. Fireflies have become fewer and fewer all over the world because the lights at night keep them away and because there is too little land for them to live on. To bring these little flying friends back into our lives, we can: 1. Keep the grass taller and grow more plants. Fireflies like to live over tall grass or near the high points of plants. 2. Leave dry leaves or dead plants in the garden. Small animals like slugs, snails, and worms live under them. They are fireflies' favorite food. 3. Turn off lights in the garden or by the window. When it is too bright, fireflies don't know if the light is from other fireflies or from lamps. So it is difficult for them to find each other. 4. Build a pond in the yard and keep the water clean. Fireflies like to live around clean water. Let us know if you have any questions. The National Science Center: 123-4567. |

Do animals have their culture? Recent years social scientists have begun to ask if some animals have their culture too. When we think of culture, we mean a way of life that a group of people have in common. Culture is the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} and beliefs(信仰) that a country or a group has. It is the way of behavior that helps people live together. It is also the way of behavior that makes a group of people {#blank#}2{#/blank#} other groups.
Our culture makes us lose strength, claw(爪子), long teeth, and other defenses(防卫). Instead, we use tools, cooperate with one another, and communicate with language. But this kind of "culture" can also be found in the lives of some animals. We {#blank#}3{#/blank#} think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line(分界线) between human beings and other animals. However, we have found that some animals can not only use tools but also make tools themselves. Animals can also{#blank#}4{#/blank#} knowledge with each other and use their own language to communicate. So it may be important for us to know that the line diving us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.
