an ant dies, other ants take it out of the nest, often within an hour after its death. this behavior interests scientists and they wonder how ants know for sureand so soonthat another ant is dead.one scientist recently came up with a way to explain this ant behaviour. dong-hwan choe is a biologist, a scientist who studies animals and plants. he found that ants have a chemical on the outside of their bodies that signals to other ants, “im deadtake me away” when it is dead.but theres a question to answer: as we know, if an ant is dead, it stops moving. but when an ant is sleeping or knocked unconscious, it is also not moving. however, other ants dont move the living ant out of the nest. how do they know this ant is not dead? choe found that ants have another chemical on their bodies, which tells nearby ants something like, “waitim not dead yet” when it is not dead. choe suspects that when an ant dies, the chemical that says, “wait im not dead yet” quickly goes away. when other ants detect the “dead” chemical without the “not dead yet” chemical, they move away the body.to test his theory , choe and his team put different chemicals on ants. when the scientists used the “im dead” chemical, other ants quickly moved the treated ant away. when the scientists used the “waitim not dead yet” chemical, other ants left the treated ant alone. choe believes this behavior shows that the “not dead yet” chemical overrides the “dead” chemical when picked up by other ants. and that when an ant dies, the “not dead yet” chemical fades away. other nearby ants then detect the remaining “dead” chemical and remove the body from the nest.understanding this behavior can help scientists figure out how to stop ants from invading new places and causing problems.59. what is the function of the first paragraph?a. leading the following paragraphs. b. showing the main idea of the passage.c. introducing the background of the passage. d. giving a summary of the passage.60. which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “overrides” in the fourth paragraph?a. is weaker than b. is stronger than c. is better than d. is worse than 61. what can we learn from the passage?a. living ants can also be taken away when they are not moving.b. when an ant dies, it can tell others using a certain chemical.c. a living ant can pretend to be dead using a special chemical.d. ants often use chemicals to communicate with each other.62. which of the following descriptions about dong-hwan choe is right?a. choe did this study in order to stop ants from invading new places.b. choe is a biologist who is only interested in animals, especially in ants.c. choe first came up with an idea to explain this ant behavior，and then did some tests to prove his theory.d. choe did the research on this ant behavior on his ownc“image is everything” an entire industry has been built upon the assumption that image is everything, but when it comes down to it, an appealing image is not enoughif there is no substance（事实） behind the image, the product, service or person will fail eventuallyfirst of all, one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and servicesadvertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfectionpublic concept of that product or service is certainly managed by the images created by the advertising agenciesbut if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created, the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money backfor example, the arthur andersen accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthinessbut the recent scandal （丑闻） showed that behind that image, it cheated in business practicesdespite the previous positive image, the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unitalthough the image had been nearly perfect, the reality behind the image has led to the downfall of the world famous accounting firmsimilarly, personal advisers can build up a public image for politicians and movie starsputting out positive news releases, making sure that only the best photographs are published, and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right places can build up a very positive image in the view of the general commonsbut once again, history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace like the story of the hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortunewith people, just as with products and services, image is certainly important, but without positive substance behind the image, failure is closeto summarize, it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success, whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the “selling” of a personbut image is only half of the equationwhat lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself the person or product must deliver on that image or there is little chance for long-term success63the downfall of the arthour andersen accounting firm is due to _aits dishonesty in businessbits previous images cits bad managementdits poor service64why did some famous people fall from grace?atheir images were not well built up bthey failed to live up to their imagescthey felt much pressure from the public dthey paid little attention to fame and fortune65the structure of the passage is _a: argumentp: pointc: conclusion66the author tries to argue that _aimage creates everythingbimage is the key to successctruth is unlikely ever to be equaleddtruth and image are equally importantdthree boys and three girls were going to fort lauderdale and when they boarded the bus，they were carrying sandwiches and wine in paper bags，dreaming of golden beaches as the gray cold of new york vanished behind them. as the bus passed through new jersey，they began to notice vingo, he sat in front of them，dressed in a plain，ill-fitting suit，never moving，his dusty face masking his age. he kept chewing the inside of his lip a lot，frozen into some personal cocoon of silence.deep into the night，outside washington，the bus pulled into howard johnsons，and everybody got off except vingo. he sat rooted in his seat，and the young people began to wonder about him，trying to imagine his life：perhaps he was a sea captain，a runaway from his wife，an old soldier going home. when they went back to the bus，one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself.were going to florida,” she said brightly, “i hear its really beautiful.”“it is，”he said quietly，as if remembering something he had tried to forget. want some wine? she said. he smiled and took a swig. he thanked her and once again returned to his silence. after a while，she went back to the others，and vingo nodded in his sleep. in the morning，they awoke outside another howard johnsonsand this time vingo went in. the girl insisted that he join them. he seemed very shy, and ordered black coffee and smoked nervously as the young people chattered about sleeping on beaches. when they returned to the bus，the girl sat with vingo again，and after a while, slowly and painfully，he told his story. he had been in jail in new york for the past four years，and now he was going home. “are you married?” “i dont know. “you dont know?” she said. “well，when i was in jail i wrote to my wife，”he said. “i told her that i was going to be away a long time，and that if she couldnt stand itif the kids kept asking questions，if it hurt too much，well she could just forget me, id understand. get a new guy，i said shes a wonderful woman，really something and forget about me. i told her she didnt have to write me for nothing. and she didnt. not for three and a half years.”and youre going home now，not knowing?”“yeah，”he said shyly. “well，last week，when i was sure the parole (假释) was coming through, i wrote her again. we used to live in brunswick，just before jacksonville，and theres a big oak (橡树) tree just as you came into town. i told her that if shed take me back，she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree，and id get off and come home, if she didnt want me, forget it, no handkerchief，and id go on through.” vow,” the girl exclaimed. wow.”she told the others，and noon all of them were in it, caught up in the approach of brunswick，looking at the pictures vingo showed them of his wife and three children. the woman was handsome in a plain way，the children still unformed in the much-handled snapshots. now they were 20 miles from brunswick, and the young people took over window seat on the right side，waiting for the approach of the great oak tree. the bus acquired a dark，hushed mood，full of the silence of absence and lost years. vingo stopp
