18、hat little we have: the secret of how to make soup from stones.” Naturally the villagers were curious and soon a fire was put to the towns greatest kettle as the soldiers dropped in three smooth stones. “It will be a fine soup,” said the second soldier, “but a pinch of salt and some celery (芹菜) woul
19、d make it wonderful!” Up jumped a villager, crying “What luck! Ive just remembered where some has been left!” And off she ran, returning with some celery and a turnip. As the kettle boiled on, the memory of the village improved: soon barley, carrots, beef and cream had found their way into the great
20、 pot, and a cask of wine was rolled into the square as all sat down to feast. They ate and danced and sang well into the night, refreshed by the feast.In the morning the three soldiers awoke to find the entire village standing before them. At their feet lay a bag of the villages best breads and chee
21、se. “You have given us the greatest of gifts: the secret of how to make soup from stones,” said an elder, “and we shall never forget.” The third soldier turned to the crowd, and said, “There is no secret, but this is certain: it is only by sharing that we may make a feast.” And off the soldiers wand

26、ed nectar (花蜜). But their flight plans actually do have a pattern. Flowers act as the insects air-traffic controllers. And new research shows bees prefer flowers that arent too flashy.Flowers give bees clues (提示) about how much food a plant can offer. Those clues can be in the color of petals (花瓣),
27、in the type, in the smell or even in the electrical charge. All of these characteristics send signals to the bees, telling them whether to land or not, among which the color plays the most significant role. The insects keep track of the color of flowers that are especially rich in nectar. They then
28、visit more flowers of that color.However, color cant guarantee bees a good meal. It may change depending on the angle at which sunlight hits its petals. A yellow flower, for example, may look somewhat blue from one angle and red from another. Beverley Glover studies plants at the University of Cambr
29、idge in England. Glover and her colleagues showed that even when the color of petals looks similar, bees behave differently in searching for nectar. They started to guess that the strength of petals iridescence (色彩斑斓) might be related to how bees find the petals.Glover and her colleagues tested thei
30、r hypothesis (假设) in the lab. In their experiment, they found that bees felt confused sometimes when the petals were very iridescent. They also found that bees had no problem finding the flowers with more nectar when the petals were not very iridescent. The team shared its new findings in the March
31、21 Current Biology. “At first glance, it is very surprising because animals can usually discover a more vivid signal more easily,” says Klaus Lunau, a biologist in Germany, who was not involved in the study.28.

What is the new finding of the team?A. Petals of different colors usually give different signals.B. Petals that are vivid are detected by
34、 bees more easily.C. Petals that are not very flashy are better for bees to make judgments.D. Petals of different types make bees confused to find the right flower.DIve been taking time this week to smell the roses. Literally.

36、 and its given me a new way of thinking. Scent is just one of the little bits and pieces that make life enjoyable, but which we often ignore. I remember once, when my son was 5 months old, I was carrying him down the street. Wind swept through and almost tipped us over. He threw his little head back

Yours,Li Hua
