The ones marching across my kitchen counter looked so confident; I just figured they had a plan, knew where they were going and what needed to be done. How else could ants organize h
38、ighways, build elaborate nests, launch impressive attacks, and do all the other things ants do?Turns out I was wrong. Ants arent clever little engineers, architects, or soldiersafter all - at least not as individuals. When it comes to deciding what to do next, most ants dont have a clue. “If you wat
39、ch an ant try to accomplish something, youll be impressed by how awkward it is,” says Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist at Stanford University.“Ants arent smart,” Gordon says. “Ant colonies are.” A colony can solve problems unthinkable for individual ants, such as finding the shortest path to the best
40、food source, assigning workers to different tasks, or defending a territory from neighbors. As individuals, ants might be tiny dummies, but as colonies they respond quickly and effectively to their environment. They do it with something called collective intelligence.Where this intelligence comes fr
41、om raises an essential question in nature: How do the simple actions of individual ants add up to the complex behavior of a group? How do hundreds of honey-bees make a critical decision about their hive (蜂巢)if many of them disagree? The collective abilities of such animals - one of which grasps the
42、big picture, but each of which contributes to the groups success - seem miraculous even to the biologists who know them best. Yet during the past few decades, researchers have come up with fascinating insights.56The authors former false impression about ants is that he thought them to be _.AsmartBaw

45、 be drawn from the collective abilitiesThe idea of using radio or wireless to broadcast to audiences was formed in 1916 by a president of the American Marconi Company, David Sarnoff. His superiors were doubtful about his idea to “make radio a household cause, so that by purchase of a radio music box
46、, the audience could enjoy lectures, music performance, etc.”Four years later the American engineer Frank Conrad, an employee at W E Corp, attracted considerable attention when a local newspaper reported on the growing audience listening on crystal radio sets to his evening and weekend amateur broad
47、casts. A local music store had provided records to play on the Victoria, and Conrad and his family served as disc jockeys(唱片音乐播音员). Westinghouse vice president Harry Davis asked Conrad to build a more powerful transmitter(发射台)in time to announce the outcome of the next US presidential election. Conrad completed his assignment, and on Novem
