阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Animals cannot speak like humans, but they do have their own ways of communicating. Bees, for example, perform a special dance to tell other bees exactly where to find flowers. Dolphins use different sounds to keep in touch with each other deep under the water. Elephants can even send messages through the ground by making low sounds that travel a very long way. Scientists are still studying these animal languages and hope that one day humans can understand them much better. Such studies may also help us protect animals in danger.
