But researchers have now discovered that a key 46 to the success of ants is their ability to 47 the importance of age in the work place. A study of General American leaf-cutter ants has shown that the younger and stronger members are give the 48 job of cutting thorough the leaves they harvest. Their sharp young teeth do this job 49 , but as they get older their teeth become relatively 50 and blunt. But rather than being retired or abandoned by the group, the ageing ants are given a new role more suited to their physical abilities. They become carriers and 51 the leaves back to the kingdom where they are harvested for food.The findings by researchers from the University of Oregon and the Oregong State University 52 previous research showing the survival of a leaf-cutter kingdom depends on the efficiency of its workers.“Cutting leaves is hard work,”said Dr.Robert Schofield, who led the research team. “Much of the cutting is done with a V-shaped blade between teeth on their jaws. This blade starts out as sharp as the sharpest razor blade that humans have developed.”But over rime the teeth become blunter and the cutting job slows down. The team estimated that, because of this age-related wear, a colony spent twice the energy cutting leaves than it would if all the ants had sharp blades. Its findings support the idea that wear and break can be significant problems for insects as well as larger animals.Like humans, leaf-cutter ant recognizes that older members of the group can still make a worthwhile 53 to society.Leaf-cutter ants live in the colonies that have a very developed structure with a strict hierarchy.

Reading comprehension A. Choose the best answer Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of those people. My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.” At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school walking on my own! When the Great Depression hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again. Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time. Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mothers words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $ 1 billion a year. You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.69.

Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage “Cheers!” “Wait!”,Why do people clink their glasses before drinking a toast?One of the commonest 75 that early Europeans felt the sound helped to drive off evil spirits.But thats false. To get the real reason for the clinking of glass on glass, we have to start from why and how we toast. Toasting, the term for the blessings followed by a swallowing of alcohol, is believed to have taken its name from a practice involving a shared drinking vessel. In modern times toasting has become a matter of imbibing from 76 drinking vessels rather than from one shared flagon, so to compensate for the sense of unity lost in doing away with the sharing of the same cup we have evolved the practice of simultaneously drinking each from our own glass when a toast is madeLater, the clinking of glasses has been added to toasting. By adding the clink, a pleasant sound was made, and wine glasses have come to be 77 not only for their appearance but also for the tones they produce when struck.Beyond mere aural pleasure, the practice also serves other 78 , it is a way of emphasizing that you are part of the good wishes being expressed, a way to unite the individuals into a cohesive groupOn a deeper level, the wine is also being recommended with itself that which had been one but was 79 is brought back into contact with the whole of itself, if only for a moment.However, when participating in toasts among large assemblies., we need not clink glasses with everyone present. Rather than 80 across wide tables ， simply raise your glass and make eye contact with the group, thats okay.75. A. results B. clues C. explanations D. consequences76.

A. makeB. reach C. arrive D. achieveC. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words You live in a house made of chocolate; you dont have to go to school any more. How could all of these i 81 things happen? - in my dreams. A dream is a series of pictures, ideas and emotions playing in the mind during sleep. Humans spend one third of life sleeping and six years dreaming. A person usually has three to five dreams a night, a 82 one may not remember his or her dreams. Many dreams, at least the ones we remember, are strange and interesting. Thats why most people believe that dreams must have some deep meaning or important message. However, people in different cultures have different understandings of the s 83 dream. For example, when dreaming of fire, Chinese people think of money. The Japanese would say its “trouble”. For people in the West, a dream of fire m84 something new is coming. Scientists have very different opinions about the deep meaning of dreams. Some believe that a dream is only a normal p 85 of sleep and doesnt tell us anything. Other scientists think that a dream is a direct message from ones mind. Dreams are like a window into ones desires and fears. For example, if youre very nervous about an exam, you may have nightmares of monsters running after you. Technology also helps us to know more about dreams. In the film Inception, people can e 86 others minds while they are dreaming. Well, now, out of the dreams, we can r 87 do it, too. Scientists can now read peoples dreams by scanning their brain activity during sleep. Would you let scientists look into your dreams?D.
