I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I cam
17、e across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion (蒲公英) standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words t
18、o me since I was a little girl. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father. I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift, I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem o
19、n top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other one.

24、cess of creating a giftD. A gift from my heartCScientists have found something new about ants. When 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
25、 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
26、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
27、 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 th
28、eory, 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 Wait Im not dead yet chemical, other ants left the treated ant alone. Choe believes this behavior shows that the “not de
29、ad yet” chemical is stronger than the dead chemical when picked up by other ants. Understanding this behavior can help scientists figure out how to stop ants from invading new places and causing problems. 28. Whats the text mainly about?A. The communication of ants. B. The efforts of scientists stud

31、own interest. 30. How do ants know another ant is dead?A. By distinguishing the chemicals on its body. B. By knocking its body to check it. C. By sending out special sounds. D. By checking whether it is moving or not. 31. What can we learn about Choe?A. He studied the ants with a team. B. He has special interest in protecting ants. C. He is a pioneer of studying ants. D. He is devoted to stopping ants dying. DInternet brings about benefits to us, but it
