New research suggests these busybodies of the insect world are capable of addition and subtraction (减法)using colors in the place of plus and minus symbols.In the animal kingdom
11、, the ability to countor at least distinguish between differing quantitiesisnt unusual: It has been seen in frogs, spiders, and even fish. But solving equations (方程式) using symbols is rare, so far only achieved by famously brainy animals such as chimpanzees and African grey parrots.Building on previ
12、ous research that says the social insects can count to four and understand the concept of zero, researchers wanted to test the limits of what their tiny brains can do.Scientists trained 14 bees to link the colors blue and yellow to addition and subtraction, respectively. They placed the bees at the
13、entrance of a Y-shaped maze (迷宫), where they were shown several shapes in either yellow or blue. If the shapes were blue, bees got a reward if they went to the end of the maze with one more blue shape (the other end had one less blue shape); if the shapes were yellow, they got a reward if they went
14、to the end of the maze with one less yellow shape.The testing worked the same way: Bees that “subtracted” one shape when they saw yellow, or “added” one shape when they saw blue were considered to have aced the test. The bees got the right answer 63% to 72% of the time, depending on the type of equa
15、tion and the direction of the right answermuch better than random guesses would allowthe researchers report today in Science Advances.Though the results came from just 14 bees, researchers say the advance is exciting. If a brain about 20,000 times smaller than ours can perform maths using symbols, i
16、t could pave the way to novel approaches in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. Just dont ask the bees to do your homework anytime soon.1、Why do the scientists conduct the research?ATo teach them maths.BTo test the power of tiny brains.CTo explain the meaning of colors.DTo get access

It states that the stores cafeteria now requires customers to order food be
19、fore sitting down in cafeteria seats. The policy is in response to an elderly blind dating group that occupies seats for a long time, consuming only their own food brought from home. Do you support IKEAs new regulation? China Daily readers share their opinions with us.Lee Xin (China)The elderly are
20、harmless. They are lonely and are probably hoping to find some company again. If anything, the store should at least sympathize with these old people.Mbursian (US)This is more for socializing than for romance. I really dont think a home furnishing store is a good dating place for seniors.IKEA could
21、also post a reasonable time limit per visit during peak hours. Or instead of tables and chairs, they could use those standing tables and get rid of the chairs altogether. At least IKEAs cafeteria isnt occupied by the dancing grannies and their portable PA systems (音响).SEARU (Australia)Romance is the

And the first visitors arrive. “Within 5 to 15 minutes of death, flies or other insects begin to colonize the body.” says Rab
28、i Musah, an organic chemist at the University at Albany.She says different species turn up at different stages of decomposition. “So because of that, depending upon what entomological(昆虫学的) evidence you find, you can learn something about when the person died in terms of the timing of the death.”Fli
29、es dont tend to stick around when disturbed by detectives. But they do leave behind eggs. The eggs are hard to tell apart by appearance alone, so specialists raise them until they hatch, a few weeks laterand they get a species ID and, with a little guesswork, a persons time of death. But Musah has c
30、ome up with a more time-saving approach: chemical analysis of the eggs. She and her team investigated that method by first harvesting flies with pig-liver traps hidden throughout New York City. They collected the trapped flies and then chemically analyzed their eggs. And it turns out each species of
31、 fly egg has a unique chemical fingerprintenough to tell the eggs apart without raising the eggs to maturity. The study is in the journal Analytical Chemistry.Musah and her colleague Jennifer Rosati are now testing the method on a real case. “And once we do that we will be publishing some case studi
