The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate Yes!. As I planned the meat in my head, I reflected(反映)on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her sm all way of trying to ease our pain.Later in my life, when l was on bed rest during my pregnancy(怀孕)with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two-year-old daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter.Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls(心灵). When you hear people talking about their favourite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.31 .

However，instead of words，they use sounds and movements. Social animals live together so theres a lot to say！Whats more，its not just elephants，monkeys and other animals we consider to be smart that are expert communicators，insects（昆虫）like ants and bees can communicate very well，too. The greater spot-nosed monkey is really good at communication. If it notices a lion，it calls pyow to warn other monkeys to climb higher into trees. If it sees an eagle（鹰），it calls hack as a warning to hide closer to the ground. Can you guess what pyow，pyow，pyow，hack，hack，hack，hack means？No，not three lions and four eagles. In fact，it means big trouble is coming and they should leave at once. In the insect world，one of the most surprising examples of communication is actually a dance, which is performed by honeybees. When returning home after looking for food，worker bees perform something called a waggle dance to tell other bees where the food is.We still have a lot to learn about communication in the animal world，but its quite clear that animals can say more than we realize.
