     Squirrels often communicate with whistles, chirps and chucks, which sound like the word "chuck".

Whistles and chirps are like the sounds that many birds make.Now scientists have translated some of

their squirrel-speak.

    Hare, a professor of zoology at the University of Maniloha in Winnipeg, and his team managed to

record squirrels' alarm calls.The researchers studied the sounds and then played them back to 60 wild

squirrels, which the scientists approached individually with a video recorder to capture (抓拍) their

reponses.Some squirrels lifted their heads up and became. Alert (警惕的).Creatures that were more

frightened simply ran for their lives and dived into caves.

     "In effect then, whistles that mix with chucks say 'there's an enemy of average threat that's here', and

whistles without chucks say 'there's an enemy of seemingly average threat around here somewhere', while pure chirps say, 'I'm hiding here because there's an immediate danger.' " Hare told.Discovery News.

     Hare and some other researchers believe such sounds arc part of an advanced language that develops

just as all other communication systems.

Although squirrels risk their lives when they call out to warn others of threats, other squirrels might admire

this behaviour, thus increasingly the caller's social status, like humans who look up to heroes. Hare added

that other animals, such as birds, probably understand at least some squirrel language, since they also may benefit from the alarm calls.

     In fact, another Canadian study found that deep-voiced, black-capped chickadees have their own

language too.According to certain research, there are a lot of tidings in chickadees' calls, such as directing

fellows' activities, keeping in contact between mates, and raising alarms.

While chickadees and other birds are often welcomed into gardens by homeowners, squirrels are

frequently viewed as pests (害兽). Hare wishes a greater understanding of the complex social lives and

communication systems of squirrels will provide "hope that humans will gain a greater appreciation and

stop doing harm to these animals".

仔细阅读某小区物业管理处给上级物业管理公司的建议信,并回答问题。
关于解决某小区管理公司的若干建议
公司领导:
近日,小区14号楼505室业主张先生到我管理处投诉,反映其楼上业主李先生装修房屋导致其卫生间漏水,要求管理处进行处理,管理处当即派维修人员入户检查,确认是李先生装修损坏防水层所致,提出由张先生和李先生自行处理问题,张先生认为管理处工作人员态度消极,维修人员未着工装,由此对我公司服务质量提出质疑,并向市晚报写信,引起不良反应。为处理好张先生的投诉,提高小区管理服务水平,维护公司品牌形象,现将我处有关工作情况及改进建议报告如下:
一、经复查,张先生家卫生间漏水确属上层业主李先生装修破坏防水层所致,李先生装修时没有到管理处办理手续,也没有在装修时对卫生间防水层进行闭水试验,因此,管理处没有责任处理漏水问题,我们已经告知张先生找李先生自行协商或通过法律途径解决漏水的维修和赔偿问题,并说明管理处不宜出面协调,以免引起不必要的纠纷。
二、针对张先生对媒体反映我公司的服务质量问题,我们已经召开了管理处全体人员会议,要求员工不得接受媒体采访,员工工作时也不要回答业主的类似问题,经过一段时间“冷处理”后,这个风波就会过去。
三、我公司的维修人员均是经过专业培训的,业务能力较强,但是考虑到维修工作的特殊性,没有给维修人员配发工服,造成部分业主误会,认为工作人员着装不整,素质低下,我们准备近期统一着装规定,并开展一次维修质量月活动,为业主免费进行水电设施的检查,以树立良好形象。
四、我公司维修特约服务收费标准是参照周边地区维修公司的标准制定的,基于管理处维修工作人员在完成日常维修养护工作外,还有一定的富余时间,工作量不饱和,有能力多承接业主的特约维修服务,我们建议公司降低维修特约服务收费标准,以增加特约服务的业务量,这样,在工资成本不增加或增加很少的前提下,可增加公司的利润。
