A
We just moved house. Our old house was beautiful and huge. Our home now Half the size and crowded.
There were still boxes everywhere.
The day after the move, while the kids were in school, I dealt with some boxes and hung the family photo on the wall. But it just didn't feel like home. Maybe I could make some chocolate biscuits, just like my grandma used to do whenever I needed cheering up. When I added eggs to my mixer（搅拌机）, it suddenly stopped
working.
I felt like crying. What would my grandma do I didn't think Grandma would give up easily. She would find another way. So I ran to the remaining boxes. I found Grandma's old white mixer there! She'd bought it
back in the 1950s and it was, well, ancient. I turned the switch on. . . nothing. The old mixer was just like my life these days.
“Come on, try again,” a small voice said. I turned the switch back on. Surprisingly, the mixer started to work slowly!
Two hours later, the kids opened the door. “Cookies! Thank you, mum,” they jumped excitedly. For the first time, our new house felt like home. It even smelled like home, just like Grandma's house always did.

Have you ever imagined being able to communicate with your pet at home and let them understand everything you say It sounds too good to be true, but scientists have started using artificial intelligence （Al） to help communicate with animals.
AI allows humans to use technology to watch and understand the sounds and signals （信号） animals use so we can try to speak back to them.
Professor Karen Bakker said that AI is already helping humans communicate with bats （蝙蝠） and bees.
This could change what we know about nature and our non-human relationships.
Bakker said AI helped decode （解码）recordings of animals talking to one another. She said tryipg to communicate in their language could be better than to teach them to use human sign language.
Bakker explained how scientist Yossi Yoyel had used recordings and Al to understand bats. “Bats argue over food; they communicate differently between genders （性别）they have their names, or'signature calls',”
she said. “But unlike human mothers raise their voices when talking to babies, mother bats lower the voice.”A computer can be trained to listen like a bat, but this can never be done with the human ear.
With bees, the computer both listens and watches the bees'body movement to understand what they are communicating. “When bees 'speak' to one another, they use body movements, as well as the sounds, to communicate,” Bakker said. She said scientists now know how bees say things such as “hush（be quiet） or“stop”.
Scientist Tim Landgrafeven created a robot bee that entered a hive （蜂巢）and it was able to communicate to other bees when it wanted them to stop doing something or fly.
So, are you looking forward to communicating with animals one day
How does the writer start the passage
A. By telling a story. B. By explaining a fact.
C. By asking a question. D. By giving an example.
Why does the writer mention bats and bees
A. To give a direction of the future study. B. To doubt the findings scientist have reported.
C. To show the achievements scientists have got. D. To change people's opinions about the two animals.
What is the fifth paragraph mainly about
Scientists’ ways of communicating with bats.
Scientists’ findings about communication between bats through AI.
Differences between bats and humans in communication.
Advantages of communicating with animals in their language.
Which of the following is TRUE
Bees mostly use sound to communicate with others.
Bees ‘body movements are very difficult to understand.
Scientists have already understood a bit of bees ‘language.
Scientists have made a real bee to communicate with other bees.
