Can we make animals work for us? Some scientists think that one day we can teach (教) animals to do a lot of things for people. In a film or on TV,you may see elephants,monkeys,dogs or some other animals doing a lot of things. If you watch carefully,you may find people always give them food to eat after they do it. Scientists say that people can teach more animals to do some easy work if they know they will get something to eat.

We all know elephants are strong and can carry large logs (木頭) .Dogs can do lots of work. One of the most important work-dogs is the “seeing eye” dog. They can help blind (盲的) people walk around and do many things for them. In some areas,people ride horses or camels and use them to carry things. And we can even teach animals to work in factories (工尸一) . In America,for example,people have used apes (猿) to help make cars,and scientists think that those large monkeys may,one day,drive trains.
