27、and so on, they won't remove the invisible spots completely. Therefore, the driver will always have to carry the responsibility of being constantly aware of blind spots because failing to do that can lead to accidents.Luckily, now there's a solution to that and it comes from a 14-year-old gi

35、（通勤） by car knows that traffic jams are an unavoidable part of life. But humans are not alone in facing potential traffic jam. Ants also commute - between their nest and sources of food. The survival of their colonies （群体）depends on doing this efficiently."The more they are, the more food they&

36、#39;re going to bring back. But at the same time, they might end up with traffic jam because there are too many of them. " Sebastien Motsch, a mathematician in Arizona State University said. When humans commute, there's a point at which cars become dense enough to slow down the flow of traf

37、fic, causing congestion. Motsch and his colleagues wanted to know if ants on the move could also get blocked.

The researchers then took a closer look at how the behavior of individual ants impacted traffic as a whole. That meant cautiously tracking th

39、ousands of separate ants as they made their way across the bridge.Motsch and his team found that when ants sense overcrowding, they adjust their speeds and avoid entering high-density areas, which prevents congestion. These behaviors may be made by pheromones （夕卜激素）, chemicals that tell other ants w

40、here a trail is. The ants also manage to avoid colliding with each other at high densities, which could really slow them down.Can ants help us solve our own traffic problems? Not likely, says Motsch. That's because when it comes to getting from point A to point B as fast as possible, human drive

41、rs put their own goals first. Individual ants have to be more cooperative in order to feed the colony. But the research could be useful in bettering traffic flow for self-driving cars, which can be designed to be less like selfish humans - and more like ants.32. What is the purpose of the research?A

42、. To compare humans with ants.B. To see how ants, avoid traffic jam.C. To solve the problem of traffic jam.D. To see whether ants will encounter a traffic jam.33.
