Ants have a reputation for strength, organization and teamwork. But researchers have now discovered that a key__________to the success of ants is their ability to__________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__________job of cutting thorough the leaves they harvest. Their sharp young teeth do this job __________ but as they get older their teeth become relatively__________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 __________ 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 __________ 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 __________ to society.
Leaf-cutter ants live in the colonies that have a very developed structure with a strict hierarchy.

Part 3 Reading and Writing
Ⅵ. 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 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 mother’s 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.

“Cheers!”“Wait!”,Why do people clink their glasses before drinking a toast?One of the commonest__________that early Europeans felt the sound helped to drive off evil spirits.
But that’s 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__________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 made.
Later, 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__________not only for their appearance but also for the tones they produce when struck.
Beyond mere aural pleasure, the practice also serves other__________, 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 group.
On a deeper level, the wine is also being recommended with itself-that which had been one but was__________is brought back into contact with the whole of itself, if only for a moment.
However, when participating in toasts among large as百度竞价推广blies, we need not clink glasses with everyone present. Rather than__________across wide tables,simply raise your glass and make eye contact with the group, that’s okay.

You live in a house made of chocolate; you don’t have to go to school any more. How could all of these i______________________________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________________________________________one may not remember his or her dreams.
Many dreams, at least the ones we remember, are strange and interesting. That’s 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______________________________dream. For example, when dreaming of fire, Chinese people think of money. The Japanese would say it’s “trouble”. For people in the West, a dream of fire m____________________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________________________________________of sleep and doesn’t tell us anything. Other scientists think that a dream is a direct message from one’s mind. Dreams are like a window into one’s desires and fears. For example, if you’re 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______________________________others’ minds while they are dreaming. Well, now, out of the dreams, we can r________________________________________do it, too. Scientists can now read people’s dreams by scanning their brain activity during sleep. Would you let scientists look into your dreams?
Answer the questions.
“I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning to surf the Internet.”
“ I checked my e-mail almost forty times a day.”
“I seldom spend less than three hours each time on the net.”
“I spend more time in chat rooms than with my ‘real-life’ friends.”
Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction called Internet addiction. According to experts, Internet addicts spends at least thirty to forty hours online every week. They lose control of the time they spend on the Internet.
For example, one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried and looked for him everywhere but couldn’t find him. They called the police. The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the Internet---for seven days straight.
A study shows that about six to ten percent of Internet users become addicted. The teenagers spend more time on the Internet than with friends and family. That’s why some experts worry most about young people.
Is “surfing the Internet” a hobby or an addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have one of the following symptoms .
★ You go out with your friends less and less.
★ You’ve decide to spend a short time online, but then you spend several hours.
★ You do not go to important family events or you do not do school projects because you like to spend hours on the Internet.
What is the situation? Some experts suggest that people set strict limits on their time for internet use. You have to learn to control it, or the Internet would control you.
