题目内容
17.There are an extremely large number of ants worldwide.Each individual ant hardly weigh anything,but together they weigh almost the same as all of mankind.They also live nearly everywhere,except on frozen mountain tops or around the Antarctic.For animals their size,ants have been surprisingly successful,largely due to their wonderful social conduct.In groups that vary in size from a few hundred to tens of millions,they organize their lives with a clear distribution of labor.Even more amazing is how they achieve this level of organization.While we use sound and sight to communicate,ants depend mostly on pheromone (信息素),which is a kind of chemical released by individuals and smelled or tasted by fellow members of a group.When an ant finds food,it produces a pheromone that will lead others straight to where the food is.When an ant comes under attack or is dying,it sends out an alarm pheromone to warn the whole group to prepare for a defensive fight.
In fact,when it comes to the art of war,ants have no equal.They are completely fearless and will take on an animal much larger than themselves,attacking in large groups and beating their target.They show so much devotion to their group that not only soldier ants but also worker ants will sacrifice their lives to help defeat an enemy.
United and devoted,these little animals have survived on the earth for more than 140million years,far longer than dinosaurs.Because they think as one,they have a united intelligence greater than you would expect from one small individual ant.

We all want to achieve happiness.(36)F Yes,many things including money,a good home,great food,children,good education,etc are important parts of life,but we cannot always control all of them.However,there are a few simple things that are in our control,can change our life and make us happy.
Accept the facts as they are.Do not get frustrated trying to change things that are not to your liking.(37)CYou can find a way to improve on them but there is no point in stressing on what you cannot control.The way you choose to react can either make you and people around you happy or make them miserable.
Focus on what you have and not on what you don't have.We tend to think of things that we don't have and forget to enjoy what we have.For example,you may want a bigger house with separate rooms for each kid.But if you take a look back at your present house,you already own most of the things that you really need and can bring happiness to you.(38)BSo value them.
Enjoy every moment.(39)D Journey is always more enjoyable than the destination(目的地).Our life is a journey.Even though we want to achieve a lot of things and have set too many goals for ourselves,we should still have fun reaching those goals.
