Scientists in Britain have managed to teach bumblebees(大黄蜂) to pull strings to get to food and then pass on what they have learned to others in their colony(群体)—showing a high level of intelligence despite their tiny brains.

Researchers at Queen Mary University of London said the experiments, often used to test the intelligence of apes (猿) and birds, showed for the first time that some insects are up to the task, and can also pass skills on through several generations.

The findings add to the evidence suggesting the ability for “culture spread” — the ability to learn and pass on knowledge and skills — may not be exclusive to humans.

In the research, published in the journal PLOS Biology on Tuesday, the scientists were able to train 23 out of a group of 40 bees to pull strings with their legs and feet.

The strings were attached to discs — or artificial “flowers” — containing food at their center but placed under a transparent screen. The bees, spotting the food beneath the screen, learned to pull the “flowers” out by pulling the string with their legs and feet to be able to get to it.

From another group of bees given the chance to solve the task without any training, only two of 110 were successful.

Another group of bees was then allowed to observe the trained bees pulling the strings, and 60 percent of them successfully learned the skill. Finally, trained bees were put in colonies, and the scientists found the technique spread successfully to a majority of the colony’s worker bees.

Lars Chittka, a Queen Mary University professor who guided the project, said the team is interested in figuring out the brain processes behind the bees’ learning and teaching skills.

1.What does the underlined word “exclusive” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. Ordinary. B. Unique. C. Beneficial. D. Widespread.

2.What did the researchers find about bees?

A. Bees learn best in insects.

B. Bees are as clever as birds.

C. Bees are born good learners.

D. Bees can be trained to learn skills.

3.What may the research team focus on next?

A. What else bees can do. B. Where bees learn skills.

C. How bees teach others. D. How bees’ brain work.

4.What may be the best title for the text?

A. Small bees, great abilities B. Bees can learn and teach

C. Bees are smarter D. Let bees learn

Many years ago a kind farmer bought a tank(桶)of gas for a mom with two children.He didn't accept any money but just smiled and said,"Pass it on to someone else."The mom was my mother.After many years,I had a similar experience.

Everyone was saying,"99 cents a gallon is so cheap-they can't give the gas away." He was embarrassed and was just calling his wife when I got to the counter(柜台).He said to his wife,“Just come here because I don't have enough money on me.”I asked the cashier(收银员)how much his was,and she told me.

I told her I would pay for it and touched the man on the arm and told him to tell his wife it had been paid for he nodded and turned back to the phone,then stopped and looked at me.“What?”I told him again,and I was so surprised to see everyone stop what they were doing to watch me as if I had just grown another head.When he asked how he could give the money back to me,I just said,"Pass it on to someone else in need!"

Why do some parents tend to hold back their disabled children from experiencing life? Even when they are grown, the parents will not allow certain things to happen. It's true that they do have a certain amount of responsibility in protecting their severely disabled adult child, but at what point do they become overly protective?

Parents want to create a safe haven, a place where they know that nothing bad will happen to their beloved child. This seems to be a respectable and notable act in caring for a person with a disability, but it can have a side effect. When protecting their child from suspected hardships, not wanting anything bad to happen to them, they very well may be preventing good things from happening to them.

In life we all make mistakes, it is how we are able to grow and strengthen our character. Parents may feel that in certain instances their child will get hurt or mistreated in some way, so they build walls in their own minds convincing themselves of the need to shelter. However, the disabled, yes even the “severely disabled” deserve to make personal mistakes as well. Even more, they have the right to succeed.

Parents should do everything and anything within their power to see their disabled children lead a somewhat “normal” life. Parents should help their children, not hold them down. This could make them think they are unworthy and that their parents do not believe in them.

Whatever it may be, let them at least try. If they want to attend college, so be it. Parents should find out all they can, and be involved in every detail. Get to know the aides, experience it with them. If they want to dare and someday marry, so be it. Don't shut them out and form bad or critical opinions about them just because you are afraid. Unite as a family and make it work.

1.What side effect will it have when the parents overprotect their disabled children?

A. Their children will never grow up in the future.

B. Their children will find no shelter when they grow up.

C. Their children will become less confident when facing troubles.

D. Their children will less likely meet with good things.

2.What attitude does the author hold towards the parents who overprotect their disabled children?

A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Critical. D. Uninterested.

3.The suggestions in the last paragraph imply that ________.

A. parents should be a bridge, not a brick wall

B. parents should act as their children’s best friends

C. parents should encourage their children to get married

D. parents should live in harmony with their disabled children

4.What is the best title of this passage?

A. Living Within Parents’ Power

B. Letting Your Disabled Child Succeed

C. Getting out of a Brick Wall in Their Life

D. Helping Your Disabled Child out of Trouble

“I see you’ve got a bit of water on your coat,’’ said the man at the petrol station. ‘‘Is it raining out there?’’ ‘‘No. it’s pretty nice,” I replied, checking my sleeve. “Oh, right. A pony(马驹) bit me earlier.”

As it happened, the bite was virtually painless: more the kind of small bite you might get from a naughty child. The pony responsible was queuing up for some ice cream in the car park near Haytor, and perhaps thought I'd jumped in ahead of him.

The reason why the ponies here are naughty is that Haytor is a tourist—heavy area and tourists are constantly feeding the ponies foods, despite signs asking them not to. By feeding the ponies, tourists increase the risk of them getting hit by a car, and make them harder to gather during the area’s annual pony drift(迁移).

The purpose of a pony drift is to gather them up so their health can be checked, the baby ones can be stopped from feeding on their mothers’ milk, and those who’ve gone beyond their limited area can be returned to their correct area. Some of them are also later sold, in order to limit the number of ponies according to the rules set by Natural England.

Three weeks ago, I witnessed a small near—disaster a few miles west of here. While walking, I noticed a pony roll over on his back. “Hello!” I said to him, assuming he was just rolling for fun, but he was very still and, as I got closer, I saw him kicking his legs in the air and breathing heavily. I began to properly worry about him. Fortunately, I managed to get in touch with a Dartmoor’s Livestock Protection officer and send her a photo. The officer immediately sent a local farmer out to check on the pony. The pony had actually been trapped between two rocks. The farmer freed him, and he began to run happily around again.

Dartmoor has 1,000 or so ponies, who play a critical role in creating the diversity of species in this area. Many people are working hard to preserve these ponies, and trying to come up with plans to find a sustainable(可持续的) future for one of Dartmoor’s most financially—troubled elements.

1.Why are tourists asked not to feed the ponies?

A. To protect the tourists from being bitten.

B. To keep the ponies off the petrol station.

C. To avoid putting the ponies in danger.

D. To prevent the ponies from fighting.

2.One of the purposes of the annual pony drift is _________.

A. to feed baby ponies on milk

B. to control the number of ponies

C. to expand the habitat for ponies

D. to sell the ponies at a good price

3.What was the author’s first reaction when he saw a pony roll on its back?

A. He freed it from the trap.

B. He called a protection officer.

C. He worried about it very much.

D. He thought of it as being naughty.

4.What does the author imply about the preservation of Dartmoor’s ponies?

A. It lacks people’s involvement.

B. It costs a large amount of money.

C. It will affect tourism in Dartmoor.

D. It has caused an imbalance of species.

Nothing could stop Dad. After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.

And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料). The smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.

As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.

Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!

Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around. It didn’t look that bad, and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell, it didn’t offend the nose so much, either. I took a taste. It would never win a prize in a cooking competition, but it was surprisingly edible, and we drank up every last drop of soup!

1.Why did Dad clean Old Man Mocolgin’s chicken house regularly?

A. To earn some money for the family. B. To collect manure for his crops.

C. To get rid of the terrible smell. D. To set a good example to us.

2.What can we infer about Dad’s stew?

A. It is popular among the neighbors. B. It contains honey and vegetables.

C. It looks very wonderful. D. It tastes quite delicious.

3.What does the underlined word “offend” in the last paragraph mean?

A. To attract. B. To upset. C. To air. D. To shut.

4.What can we learn about Dad form the text?

A. He is an experienced cook. B. He is a troublesome father.

C. He has a positive attitude to life. D. He suffers a lot from his disability.
