17、cross a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion (蒲公英) standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to m

18、e since I was a little girl. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father. I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift, I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on t

19、op of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other one.

24、s of creating a giftD. A gift from my heartCScientists have found something new about ants. When an ant dies, other ants take it out of the nest, often within an hour after its death. This behavior interests scientists and they wonder how ants know for sureand so soonthat another ant is dead. One sc

25、ientist recently came up with a way to explain this ant behaviour. Dong-Hwan Choe is a biologist, a scientist who studies animals and plants. He found that ants have a chemical on the outside of their bodies that signals to other ants, “Im deadtake me away” when it is dead. But theres a question to

26、answer: As we know, if an ant is dead, it stops moving. But when an ant is sleeping or knocked unconscious, it is also not moving. However, other ants dont move the living ant out of the nest. How do they know this ant is not dead? Choe found that ants have another chemical on their bodies, which te

27、lls nearby ants something like. “WaitIm not dead yet” when it is not dead. Choe suspects that when an ant dies, the chemical that says. “Wait Im not dead yet” quickly goes away. When other ants detect the “dead” chemical without the “not dead yet” chemical, they move away the body. To test his theor

28、y, Choe and his team put different chemicals on ants, When the scientists used the Im dead chemical, other ants quickly moved the treated ant away. When the scientists used the Wait Im not dead yet chemical, other ants left the treated ant alone. Choe believes this behavior shows that the “not dead

By checking whether it is moving or not. 31. What can we learn about Choe?A. He studied the ants with a team. B. He has specia

32、l interest in protecting ants. C. He is a pioneer of studying ants. D. He is devoted to stopping ants dying. DInternet brings about benefits to us, but it sometimes make us annoyed. Two years ago, Brian Weinreich, the co-founder and head of product at Density, got so jaded of receiving spam (垃圾邮件) e

33、mails from his business email account that he decided to teach a lesson to all future spammers who tried to contact him. Weinreich considers spam to be as unpleasant as people you dont know following you in order tos ell you something, who wont stop pestering you even when you tell them youre not in

34、terested, so he decided to build a solution that would waste spammers time in revenge (报复). “Back in early 2015, I decided I had enough. It became clear to me: its my job to stop spams. That Spam button on Gmail just didnt get me going anymore. Theres no reward. 1was seeking revenge and some comedic

35、 relief,” Weinreich wrote in a blog post on Medium. “I figured if I could eat up a spammer s time, then they would have less time to perfect their new spamming technique.”So he invented the Spm Looper, a bot (自动程序) whose primary function is to respond to spam emails with a series of open-ended quest

36、ions that seem like they could be a real persons response to an email enquiry. Unfortunately, the very first email you receive from any unique spammer will still go into your inbox, but once forwarded to spmlooper. com, the bot then takes action and continues to automatically respond to all emails f

37、rom the same spammer s email address until the spammer decides to stop sending you emails. Weinreich developed the bot and put it to work on an email address he specifically created for a non-existent man named “John Turing”, who is the founder and chief leader of a fictitious company called MLooper
