27、rmly as spring .but if they don't you may be treated as coldly as winter." You may consider it an exaggeration, but if you are a salesman Jt is clearly correct.You would never found it to be so true if you hadift been a salesman. You needn't stand a doubtful looks and unfriendly views;

35、ing of the social structure of the most complex of ant societies. The ants examined are the only creatures other than man to have given up hunting and collecting for a completely agricultural way of life. In their underground nests they cultivate gardens on soil made from finely chopped leaves. This

36、 is a complex operation requiring considerable division of labour. The workers of this type of ants can be divided into four groups according to the size .Each of the groups performs a particular set of jobs.The making and care of the gardens and the nursing of the young ants are done by the smalles

37、t workers. Slightly larger workers are responsible for chopping up leaves to make them suitable for use in the gardens and for cleaning the nest. A third group of still larger ants do the construction work and collect fresh leaves from outside the nest. The largest are the soldier ants responsible f

38、or defending the nest.To find out how good the various size-groups are at different tasks .the scientist measured the amount of work done by the ants against the amount of energy they used .He examined first the gathering and carrying of leaves. He selected one of the size-groups ,and then measured

39、how efficiently these ants could find leaves and run back to the nest. Then he repeated the experiment for each of the other-size-groups .In this way he could see whether any group could do the job more efficiently than the group normally undertaking it.The intermediate-sized ants that normally perf

40、orm this task proved to be the most efficient for their energy costs, but when the scientist examined the whole set of jobs performed by each group of ants it appeared that some sizes of worker ant were not ideally suited to the particular jobs they performed.60. In which way are the ants different

41、from other non-human societies?A. They do not need to search for food.B They do not need to look for shelter.C. Individuals vary in social status.D. Individuals perform different functions.61.

44、e bird populations in the smartest parts of town. To their surprise .the socio-economic factors explained bird diversity better than anything about park ecology ,such as tree diversity and vegetation structure. In fact, parks in the poorest parts of town had the highest tree and vegetation diversity

45、 ,but the lowest bird diversity. "We wouldn't have guessed it." says Kinzing. "It's telling us we need to look further into a field for the answer."Her team is now trying to track down exactly what it is about luxurious neighborhoods that the birds like. One possibility i

46、s that rich people have bigger gardens so there are more habitats surrounding the parks. Also Jhey may be more likely to feed the birds or perhaps offer a better menu. Mike Thomas of the British Trust for Ornithology is not surprised by the results. The area around gardens and parks determines which

47、 birds visit J he says that lager gardens tend to contain a greater variety of habitats and so can support different bird species.A spokesperson for the Royal Society for the Protection for birds adds that two thirds of UK households put food out for their garden visitors: "It is arguably the n

52、n pleased with a tale likes ,as a nile Ao have it retold in the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book ,and Jf a parent can produce what , in the actual situation of the time and

53、 the particular child, is an improvement in the printed text ,so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or awakening his cruelty. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories

54、 were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. Cruelty every child has. And on the whole, its staying in the words seems much safer than turning to actual action. As to fears .there are. I think, well-proved cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often .howeve

55、r Jhis happens in the children having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered .There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, and that Jnstead of satisfy

56、ing his imaginations in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to reason with them. If their case were sound , the world should be full of madmen attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted girl fr

57、iend.No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the outside world and no sensible child has ever believed that it was.68. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is .A. repeated without varietyB used for a correct purposeC. suited to the age of the childD. changed

58、a little by the parents69.
