Ants have an amazing ability to communicate with each other and work together to accomplish(完成)difficult tasks.Their specialized behavior due to chemical communication is so well developed, in fact, that humans can learn a lot from them about how to work best in teams.
British scientists at the University of Bristol are studying colonies(群体)of army ants to understand how they organize themselves and share knowledge.These insects—which come in various sizes—are known for using their bodies as living plugs to cover holes on the uneven ground between their nest and their prey.When they meet a hole in their path, they can quickly determine which of them is the best fit.The appropriate ant then lies across the gap, allowing the remainder of the group—as many as 200,000 other ants—to step on its back.This important minority of ants makes the food collection of the entire colony in the best possible way by “paving the way” for the others.
The collective behavior that emerges from a group of social insects, such as ants, can be called “swarm intelligence”. Swarm intelligence consists of the selforganization of many individuals that work collectively to find the best solution to a difficult problem.The concepts of swarm intelligence have been used in a variety of human applications.It has been used as a method that improves the efficiency of goods transfers on airplanes, and has even become a routing technique for moving data across telecommunications networks more smoothly.You could say that our daily lives benefit from the tireless work of ants.
15．What can we learn from ants according to the text?
A．How to help others to achieve great goals.
B．Good communication skills are important.
C．How to achieve the best result by working as a team.
D．The hardworking spirit in teamwork.
16．A study made by British scientists suggests that________.
A．ants are a group of clever insects
B．army ants' behavior is difficult to understand
C．ants enjoy using their bodies as living plugs
D．ants' collective behavior ensures their food supply
17．What can we learn about “swarm intelligence”？
A．It is a kind of collective behavior in social insects.
B．It refers to the selforganization of many insects.
C．The concepts of it will be used by many animals.
D．It is the best method of processing data.
18．The study of ants' behavior can be applied in ________.
A．road transportation and education
B．aerial transport and telecommunications
C．team organization and engineering
D．computer and information technology
