4. Man is different from other animals in that he alone can communicate when not within sight or hearing of men. Man alone walks erect on two feet; most other animals have no
free limbs. Man has an opposable thumb which allows him to pick up and hold things easily， whereas most animals have thumbs parallel to their other digits.
5. Man is not the only animal that thinks or the only animal that communicates. He is not born with a conscience nor is he born with complicated instincts to guide his future actions.
Mini-task Two： Reading and Discussion Directions： Read the following passage， and then discuss in small groups how the author defines "stress" through the use of comparison， example， and process（ a combination of different methods） .
The word "stress，" when applied to a combat situation， has a special meaning. It can refer to physical， emotional， or mental stress or any combination of the three. Physical stress， which is probably the easiest to understand， deals with the strain placed on the body during combat. It is an enormous demand placed on the soldier's energy， and it quickly stretches his physical resources to the limit. His adrenaline flows， and he can feel his heartbeat rapidly speeding up， and he becomes hyperactive with excessive strength and speed. Just as quickly， though， exhaustion sets in upon him， and all of his bumps， cuts and bruises begin to ache. This is often accompanied by a painful headache or a severe case of the shakes due to a rapid depletion of blood sugar. It is similar to running a foot race. One starts out at a fast pace， but in a short time， he tries， and all of his energy seems to be depleted. As one tries to continue running， he can feel every muscle in his body begin to throb. It is hard to tell sometimes where physical stress stops and emotional stress begins. Emotional stress includes fears， hate， sorrow， and even， at time， a curious form of joy. When the soldier is under duress， each of the emotions exerts its pressures upon him， sometimes causing panic or hysteria. For example， fear can be so powerful an influence that a soldier who gets caught in a fire fight can react by just starting to run， trying to escape， instead of immediately jumping for cover. He then becomes a running target for the enemy. One may wonder how joy can even be remotely connected to a combat situation， but， as all of the other pressures build up， laughter can become a form of release-a type of hysteria of its own. A man might find something funny that might be totally humorless to others and break out in a low rumbling laugh that turns into a long， rapturous convulsion. It can occur anytime， anywhere.
