Can you make animals work for us? Some scientists think that one day we can teach animals to do a lot of things for people. In a film shown on TV， you may see elephants， monkeys， tigers or some other animals are always given a little food to eat after they have done something. Scientists say that people can teach many different animals to do some of the easy work if they know they will get something to eat. We all know elephants can carry large logs(圆木)， and dogs can look after houses.

And we even teach animals to work in factories. In America， for example， people have used apes to help make cars and scientists think that those large monkeys may drive trains one day. Now people are trying to get them to do the same thing that man does.

Scientists think that most animals can’t see colors. The world is black and white to them.

To find out if dogs could see colors, scientists gave dogs food every time they played a certain piece of music. The dogs got ready to eat only when they heard this piece of music. They did not get ready to eat when they heard other pieces of music.

Then the scientists gave the dogs food every time they showed them a certain color. The dogs got ready to eat when they saw this color. The scientists then showed the dogs another color. Again the dogs got ready to eat. The colors were all the same to them.

Colors are not all the same to monkeys, however, for example, if we put food in a red box and do this every day, a monkey will always go to the red box to get the food. If we then put food in a blue box, the monkey won’t go to it.
