Calvin Coolidge, thirtieth president of the United States of America, was a person who hated
9
talking nonsense (废话); he had no time for small talk. The following two stories clearly show how Coolidge enjoyed talking little.
When he was vice-president (副总统), Coolidge had plenty of chances to take part in Washington’s social life, especially many dinner parties. Knowing nothing about the art of conversation, he was not in any way popular among the ladies at the parties.
At one party, the hostess tried to help with the problem and placed him next to Alice Roosevelt, daughter of former president. Miss Roosevelt began to chat in her usual attractive manner, but her efforts were far from being able to make the vice-president become interested. In the end, she said, “I’m sure that going to as many dinners as you do, you must feel terrible not being talked to.”
Without lifting his eyes from his plate, Coolidge answered in a low voice, “Well, a man has to eat somewhere.”
Later, when he was president and again at the dinner party, Coolidge was seated next to a most clever society woman, who seemed to manage to change Coolidge’s life. “Oh, Mr. President,” she said, “You are always so quiet. I made a bet today that I could get more than two words out of you.” The president became angry and then said, “You lose.”

Fish hear sounds, though they have simply no ears outside their bodies. However, fish do have ears inside their bodies, near the brain, and they hear very well with them. Some fish have been taught to recognize the difference between sounds better than some human beings do.
Many underwater animals make noises only by chance while they are doing something else. Other sounds are real communications of simple sort, telling one fish of the presence and direction of another. A few noises may be warning messages or discovery of food, etc. The earliest scientific report on fish sounds referred to one of these.
