38、 having similar vocal tracts（声道）.Three young grey sealsZola, Gandalf and Janicewere monitored from birth by Stansbury and Janik to determine their natural talents. Once this process was complete, the researchers began teaching the seals to simulate common seal sounds or noises a seal might normally

40、 were familiar with this process and could easily copy these basic sounds， Stansbury and Janik used higher and longer tones(音调)and unfamiliar vowels（元音）from human speech. The seals were then rewarded for matching these new sounds. Stansbury even used some combinations to simulate songs that no seal

41、would be expected to produce under natural circumstances. Zola had a gift for copying up to ten notes of songs such as Twinkle， Twinkle， Little Star and the theme song of Star Wars.
