Thats the conclusion of a recent study from South Africas southern coast.There

12、, in a cave lying above the sea, researchers from Arizona State University have found evidence that humans were behaving in surprisingly complex ways as early as 124,000 years ago. Our species, Homo sapiens, appeared an estimated 200,000 years ago.The cave held three important clues about the behavi

13、or of these Stone Age people.First, the researchers found the remains of all kinds of shellfish. The people who lived in the cave probably collected these creatures from rocky shores and tide pools and brought them to the cave to eat.The researchers propose the early Africans moved to the South Afri

14、can coast between 191,000 and 130,000 years ago. Around that time, the climate inland turned relatively cold and dry. Therefore, there were fewer plants and animals to eat away from the coast.When these ancient people moved to the coast, they probably experienced a major cultural shift, the research

15、ers suspect. Thats because observations of modern hunter-gatherer societies suggest that men are more likely to hunt for big animals when people live inland. On the coast, women play a more important role in providing food by gathering plants and shellfish.As for the second clue, the researchers une

16、arthed 13 pieces of reddish pigment(顏料). The researchers think that the cave habitants used the paint for coloring their bodies or for other ceremonies. Symbolic behavior is a clearly human feature.Finally, the search discovered over 1,400 stone tools, including well-crafted blades(刀片). These blades

17、 came in various sizes. The smallest were just less than a half-inch wide. Ancient people may have attached these blades to the end of a stick to make spears or other tools.1、Why did the early Africans move to the south African coast according to the text?ATo avoid cold and dry weatherBTo look for e

20、th honeybees and ants are social insects that live in groups called colonies. They survive by means of their collective intelligence. Their decision-making power is distributed throughout the group; that is, no one ant or bee makes decisions for the group. Instead, they work together. As Deborah M.

21、Gordon, a biologist at Stanford University, says, Ants arent smart. Ant colonies are.The same is true for bee colonies. Although bees and ants are quite different physically, they have a lot in common in terms of their social behavior. Specifically, honeybees and ants have similar roles within the c

22、olony, both have communication systems, and both have the capacity for learning.Ants communicate by using chemicals called pheromones, which can alert others to danger or to a food source. For example, when worker ants find a promising source, they let the rest of the colony know how to find it by l

23、eaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to the colony. The other ants pick up the message using their sense of smell. Bees, on the other hand, use movement to communicate with each other. Worker bees send messages to each other by means of a dance. Different speeds and movements send different

24、messages. For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new home for the colony, they return and do a dance for the other worker bees that indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it is. The faster the scouts dance, the better the new location is.Honeybees and ants are

25、both capable of learning. One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a food source. The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts of sameness and difference to accomplish certain tasks. Ants take this one st

26、ep further. Recent American research has shown that ants not only have the ability to learn, but also can teach their foraging skills to other younger ants.They observed that older ants accompany young ants in search of food and teach them the route and how to avoid obstacles.As we can see, the soci

27、al behavior of honeybees and ants is quite similar. Both coordinate complex actions and accomplish crucial survival tasks by cooperating in groups consisting of many individuals. Unintelligent as they may be as individuals, as groups they often show amazing brilliance as they go about their everyday

28、 activities.1、What do ants and bees have in common?AThey live in similar-sized colonies.BThey make use of collective intelligence.CThey have small leadership groups that make all decisions.DThey use the same methods to communicate with each other.2、What does the speed of a bees dance indicate?AThe q

38、e on them than with each other.When Amanda Gao, a 26-year-old white-collar worker in Beijing, went to a hotpot restaurant with her boyfriend on Friday night several weeks ago, she expected that they would have a good time together. To her disappointment, however, it did not turn out that way later.

39、As soon as they were led to their seats and she began to order dishes, he buried himself in his mobile phone“It seemed that his phone was making its way between us.

40、e, like her, have found that electronics have been sabotaging(破壞) their romantic relationships.A study, published in the journal Psychology of Popular Media Culture in April 2017, questioned nearly 200 college aged adults who were in committed relationships to report on their and their partners smar

41、tphone dependency. The results showed people who were more dependent on their phones were less sure about their relationships, and people who considered their partners excessively (過度地) dependent on their devices were less satisfied in their relationship.Lin Yuan, a relationship advisor in Beijing,

42、noted that as more and more electronics come out and spice up peoples lives, they are at the same time becoming a third party in relationships, especially for young people.Lin said she knew of some people who suggest that electronics should be kept out of bedrooms, which she considered challenging a
