Animal s ability to act reasonably is believed to come partly from what we may call ” genetic(遗传性的)learning”，which is different from七he individual(个体的)learning that an animal does in the course of its own lifetime. Genetic 1earning is learning by a species—animals of the same kind——as a whole．and it is achieved by selection of those members of each generation that happen to act in the right way．However，the role of genetic learning depends upon how similar the future environment is to the past The more important individual experience is likely to be．the less important is genetic learning as a means of getting over the problems of the survival game．Because most animals live in ever changing environments from one generation to the next，it is not surprising to find that very few species indeed depend wholly upon genetic learning．
In the great majority of animals，their particular ways of acting in a new environment are a compound (复合体)of individual experience added to the action patterns animals are born with.
That is why animals can survive．

June 8th Dear Jianhua,
I m very glad to have received the letter you sent me two weeks ago. I ve been thinking about the question you asked me. In my opinion, you shoule come back after you finish your studies abroad. For one reason, what you are studing is badly needed nowadays in China. It will be quite easy for you to find a good job. In fact, I know a few big companies in our city are hoping to hire people like you. For another reason, I think it will be much more convenient for you to look after your parents as they are getting old. Therefore, I think it s a good idea for you to return. So what are you waiting for?
Best wishes,
Minghua
