Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer
The first system of communication of animals is natural. Many kinds of animals have ways of communicating with each other. And one of the most interesting examples is that of bees. These insects communicate with each other by dancing. The most important kind of dance that they do is concerned with food. They get their food from flowers, of course, from plants and trees. When a bee has found some food, it returns to the other bees and can give them three basic kinds of information about the food: which direction it is in, whether it is nearby or a long way away, and whether it is good to eat or poisonous.
The other kind of system of communication of animals is artificial. It means animals learn it; in this case, they learn from man. Several famous experiments have been carried out with chimpanzees, trying to teach them human language.
One of these experiments was done with a chimpanzee called Sarah. Sarah was taught to understand a system of symbols which represented words. The symbols were cut out of coloured plastic, and each different shape stood for a different word. For example, a red square stood for “banana”, Sarah’s favorite fruit. Soon Sarah could not only understand words, but even sentences. She could obey orders: if her human friends put down the symbols for “apple in cup”, she would put the apple in the cup. Later, she began giving the scientists orders – she was writing her own sentences, and she got upset if the scientists did not obey her. We do not yet know whether chimpanzees will ever learn to use language to communicate as freely as human beings do, but the results so far suggest that this is at least a possibility.

A. learn to communicate B. are born to be able to communicate

A. so selfish as to let other bees share the bad food
B. so selfish as to look for food for themselves

43) The experiment done with Sarah is an example of ____________________.
A. animals with natural system of communication
B. animals able to communicate with humans
C. animals possible to use language as humans
D. animals with a system of communication worked out by humans

Dịch bài đọc:
Ở Châu Phi, một công ty thực phẩm nổi tiếng đã cố gắng bán thức ăn trẻ em của mình bằng cách quảng cáo nó với hình ảnh của một em bé trên nhãn. Họ không biết rằng quốc gia đặc biệt này chỉ sử dụng nhãn để hiển thị hình ảnh của thực phẩm bên trong. Khi Pepsico sử dụng khẩu hiệu "Hãy sống với Pepsi" ở Đài Loan, họ không biết rằng nó sẽ được dịch sang tiếng Trung Quốc vì “Pepsi đưa tổ tiên của bạn trở về từ thế cõi chết”.
Những hiểu lầm như những điều này về ngôn ngữ hoặc về văn hóa đôi khi thật khôi hài nhưng cũng có thể gây ra tổn thương hoặc sự tức giận thực sự. Phong cách kinh doanh rất khác nhau ở các quốc gia khác nhau và những gì bình thường trong một nền văn hóa có thể hoàn toàn không được chấp nhận ở một nền văn hóa khác.
Xã hội ở các quốc gia khác nhau có thể là khó khăn. Ví dụ, ở các nước Ả Rập, mọi người không thảo luận về kinh doanh trong các bữa ăn. Tặng quà là một vấn đề tiềm năng khác: ở Anh, hầu hết mọi người đều tặng quà cho một bữa tiệc tối, nhưng ở nhiều quốc gia, điều này không lịch sự vì điều đó cho thấy bạn nghĩ rằng chủ nhà nghèo.
