       Animals, including insects, do not have a language like ours. They do not talk to each other in words
or sentences. But if we watch them, we can see that they do have ways of communicating.
       Can you see the rabbits' tail. When rabbits see this white tail moving up and down, they are warning
each other to run. They know that there is danger. The rabbit has told them something without making
many other animals use this kind of language. When a cobra is angry, it raises its sound. It has given them
a signal and makes itself look fierce. This warns other animals. When a bee has found some food, it goes
back to its home. It cannot tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little
dance in the air. This tells the bees where the food is. Some animals say things by making sound. A dog
barks, for example when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs when pleased. Some birds make several
different sounds, each with its own meaning.
       Sometimes we human beings speak in the same way. We make sounds like " Oh" or " Ah!" when we are frightened or pleased or when we drop something on our toes. Of things, actions, feelings or ideas, we are able to give each other all kinds of different. But we have something that no animals have a large
number of words which have the meanings, information in words and sentences, which no other animals
can do. No other animals have so wonderful a language as we have.

     One of the most traditional British holidays was the"seasideholiday". Families got on a train or
into a car and traveled to seaside towns nearby to sunbathe on the beach, buy ice-creams and
eatfish and ships and so on.
     In the late 1970s, more and more British people started traveling to other countries in Europe
for their summer holidays(July-August) because the weather wasn't very good, even in summer.
The"package holiday"was particularly popular with most families.
     In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became wealthier, so many of them traveled
to countries all over the worldfor their holidays.
     These years, especially after the world financial crisis(金融危機(jī)), most British people can not
afford to spend their holidays abroad. They again begin to choose to stay in their own home and
go on a few day trips rather than spending money on hotels. Theycall this sort of vacation a"staycation".

     These days, most people in Britain and the US do not wear formal (正式的) clothes. But sometimes it
  is important to wear the right thing. Many British people don't think about clothes very much. When they
  go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost(幾乎) anything. At theatres, cinemas and concerts (音
 樂會(huì)) you can put on anything you like: from beautiful suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything
  goes, as long as you look clean and tidy. But in Britain, as well as in the US, men in offices usually wear
