　　If you're out for a walk and a bird in a tree says to you “Hello

　　there”， don't worry, you're not going mad.

　　Naturalists have reported a growing phenomenon of pet parrots

　　that have been taught to repeat phrases by their owners before

　　escaping from their cages and then passing on the technique to the

　　wild flocks they join. “Hello there!”， “Hello darling!”and “What's happening?”are among the chorus of comments that flocks of wild birds have been repeating after picking up words and sentences from other birds that were once

　　household pets.

　　Naturalist Martyn Robinson said：“We've had people calling us thinking they've had something put into their drink because they've gone out to look at the flock of birds in their back yard and all the birds have been saying something like ‘Who's a pretty boy, then?’?”

　　Mr.Robinson, who is based at the Australian Museum in Sydney, said the usual sequence of events saw a caged parrot of some kind which had been taught phrases but had then made its escape. It would then join a wild flock and chatter away in the trees，its words being learned by younger birds in the flock.The older ones would be unlikely to start learning. When chicks are born, they hear the words being spoken by the older birds and grow up repeating the phrases.And so it continues, generation after generation.

　　Mr.Robinson said that because of a drought in the western regions of New South Wales, flocks of wild birds—“speakers”among them—have been flying to Sydney, where more food is available, and have been hanging around suburban gardens.

　　From the tree tops in gardens, from chimney pots and lamp posts, the flocks have been talking away, leaving many people wondering if their minds were playing tricks on them.

　　“These birds are very smart and very social, meaning that communication and contact is important between them，” said Mr.Robinson.“I just hope a pet bird that's been taught dirty words doesn't join a flock because we don't want to hear that kind of thing going around the back gardens.”

　　【语篇解读】 很多悉尼居民可以在自家的花园中听到一群野生鹦鹉在树梢上对他

　　In 1890 William James, the American philosopher and physician and one of the founders of modern psychology, defined psychology as “the science of mental life” and this definition provides a good starting point for our understanding even today. We all have a mental life and therefore have some idea about what this means, even though it can be studied in rats or monkeys as well as in people and the concept remains difficult to understand.

　　Like most psychologists, William James was particularly interested in human psychology, which he thought consisted of certain basic elements: thoughts and feelings, a physical world which exists in time and space, and a way of knowing about these things. For each of us, this knowledge is primarily personal and private. It comes from our own thoughts, feelings and experience of the world, and may or may not be influenced by scientific facts about things. For this reason, it is easy for us to make judgments about psycho1ogical matters using our own experience as a standard. We behave as amateur psychologists when we offer opinions on complex psychological phenomena. However, problems arise when two people understand these things differently. Formal psychology attempts to provide methods for deciding which explanations are most likely to be correct, or for determining the circumstances under which each applies. The work of psychologists helps us distinguish between inside information, which is subjective, and may be prejudiced and unreliable, and the facts: between our predictions and what is “true” in scientific terms.

　　Psychology, as defined by William James, is about the mind or brain, but although psychologists do study the brain, we do not understand nearly enough about its workings to he able to comprehend the part that it plays in the experience and expression of our hopes, fears, and wishes, or in our behavior during experiences as varied as giving birth or watching a football match. Indeed, it is rarely possible to study the brain directly. So, psychologists have discovered more by studying our behavior, and by using their observations to obtain hypotheses (假设) about what is going on inside us.

　　【语篇解读】 虽然被誉为“美国现代心理学之父”的威廉·詹姆斯给出了心理学

　　的定义，但是这种抽象的理论研究仍然存在许多难以洞察的现象。

　　A.of the difference between inside information and the facts
