For a long time, scientists didn’t study animal thinking．Most of them did not believe that animals could think．They thought humans were the only thinking animals．
Now more scientists are studying this subject．But it’s very hard to prove things that no one can see or measure．So some scientists decided to take a look at brains．
Is bigger better?No．Cow brains are bigger than dog brains, but that doesn’t make cows smarter than dogs．And squirrels have some of the biggest brains of all for their body size．But squirrels aren’t even close to being the smartest animals in the world．So the size of a brain may give some clues(線索)about brain power, but it doesn’t prove anything．
Other scientists study thinking by ________ how animals solve problems．They watch animals in the wild or do thinking tests in a lab．
For example, the scientist might put some food just out of an animal’s reach．One kind of animal may grab a stick and use it to slide the food over．Another kind might not be able to figure out a way to get the food．Some scientists think animals that have lots of problems to solve must be smarter than animals with simple lives．Scientists also study certain kinds of behaviour for clues about thinking．They watch for three things：whether animals use tools, how they act with each other, and how they communicate．
1．“This subject” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________．
2．The underlined word “smarter” means ________ in English．(限填一詞)
3．What have scientists learned from studying the size of animals’ brains?
________________________________
4．Complete the sentence with just one word：Other scientists study thinking by ________ how animals solve problems．(限填一詞)
5．Scientists study such animals’ behavior as whether animals use tools, how they act with each other and ________ as well．

Nearly every parent says that we never grow up．In fact, we are maybe 16 or 17 years old．In their eyes, we are always little ones and always do wrong things．For example, when I need to stay at home, alone, they always worry about me and my life without them．

Safety Activities for Middle School KidsSchool is not the safe place as it used to be．How do we keep school safer? How do we help students stay away from danger? There are many activities that teachers can do to teach safety in an easy way．Here are some stories from the students who have had the safety class in No．1 Middle School．
Mike Smith：About Sports Safety
Once, our head teacher made up a story about sports safety．All we needed to do was to point out safe and unsafe sports behaviors in the story．From this lesson, we knew we should always do warm-up activities before playing sports and drink some water after that．
Amy Young：About Classroom Safety
Yes, making up stories is a good way to learn and enjoy ourselves．We were once asked to make up a story about a boy called Little Naughty(調皮的)．He always did something naughty in the classroom and got himself into trouble．In this way, we learned to behave(為人處世)well and get on well with each other．
Frank Green：About Fire Safety
In our school, we have a fire emergency response practice(火警應急演習)in September every year．So we know where to go if there is a fire in a school．We learn to use the fire extinguisher(滅火器), too．But I don't think we should be allowed to put out the fire by ourselves, it's too dangerous for young students like us．
