After so many studies have been carried out, the interest in knowing more about what's
going on in our brains never dies down, What interests scientists more is the animals' brains.
Take birds' brains for example. Birds are in fact smarter than we thought. A story goes
like this: A smart crow collects rocks and throws them into the bottle, and in the end he gets the
water. Now, it is not just a story. Studies show that crows are great toolmakers and they are
able to choose the tool that is of best use. As for parrots
, the idea that they just pick up the sound
without understanding the meaning is not true. Their language ability is surprising. Here comes
a famous example. Alex was the gray parrot, whose owner was a scientist at Harvard University.
He was trained to understand over 100 English words, with which he was able to make simple
sentences. On the night he died, the last words he gave to his owner were "YOU BE GOOD SEE
YOU TOMORROW I LOVE YOU.”
No birds or other animals are going to take man's place as the smartest being on the planet.
However, we might not be 100% correct in the understanding of brains - The bigger, the smarter.

A選項在一，二行有提到

raingirl

請問B為什麼是對的？

CC

B文章沒提到，答案是A才對

CC

剛沒看仔細，B在最後一行有提到
The bigger, the smarter.

CC

A錯在having "all" the questions，大腦構造深奧，他們並沒有全部了解。

raingirl

可是它不是說We might not be 100%correct

CC

對壓 所以B選項意思是人們普遍相信動物大腦越大比那些小動物的腦聰明。

CC

但研究顯示可能不是100%正確，所以B文章結尾是有提到的。

raingirl

請問文章結尾哪裡有提到“人們普遍相信”
不好意思，謝謝～

題目問我們能從文章learn學到/知道什麼?
