At first glance,there hardly seems to be any comparison between Ravenna and
Rome,but backin the 5th century ,it was Ravenna that served as capital of the Western
Roman Empire. In this city,Roman rulers built monuments which are famous, then and
now, for their sweeping mosaics (镶嵌图案). Seven of Ravenna's eight buildings from
the 5th and 6th centuries are spectacularly decoratedwith examples of this ancient
art. "In the past, many people couldn't read or write," says tour guideand Ravenna
native Silvia Giogoli. "Mosaics were a way to explain the religion and the political
situ-ation to the people. " Visitors to Ravenna can look at pieces of art by ancient
artists, listen to musicians, and learn to
make their own masterpieces.

When you pat your pet dog, he wags (摆来摆去)his tail. That is his way of saying
that he lovesyou. And, if you pay attention, you will see that he uses his tail to
say so many things. Every move-ment of the tail means a different thing. If the dog
is wagging its tail, it is a sign of friendliness ; if histail is straight, it means
he is getting ready for a fight ; and if his tail is tucked (塞) behind his legs,
itmeans he is giving up the fight.
Unlike dogs, cats' tail language is not so expressive. When a cat feels
threatened, he puffs him-self up to appear big and his tail shakes with tension.
And when he is displeased with something, helashes out(甩动) his tail.
The tail language of dogs and cats has a little story behind it. Earlier, when
dogs and cats hadnot become friends with human beings, they were predators. They
used to hunt other animals for theirfood. When dogs went out hunting with their
friends, tail language came handy. When they were closeto each other, dogs could
use facial expressions to talk. But, for long-distance c,o~mmunication, theyused
their tails. Unlike dogs, cats liked to hunt alone. So, they did not need to use
tail language toooften. As a result, their vocabulary in tail language is much
smaller than that of dogs'.
