The science teacher, Mr. Litmus, asked his students to study animals at the weekend. They could write a short report, and share it with the rest of class. In the Monday’s science class, some talked about dogs, others about horses, some chose fish. But the most interesting story of all was made by little Sophie.
“I found that flies are terribly bad-tempered(脾气坏的)”, she said.
Everyone smiled, waiting for her to continue. Then Sophie said, “I spent hours in my house watching flies. When they found a window, they would really start buzzing(嗡嗡响), but they don’t. A further watch let me see clearly that in fact they were shouting and crying. They were angry that they couldn’t fly out of the window. A butterfly tried to tell them that the top of the window was open, but the flies didn’t listen and just kept on shouting and complaining.”
Mr. Litmus laughed and told the class that the flies’ action had nothing to do with anger. Instead, it was an example of animals having different intelligence(智力). They agreed that the next day they would write down the order of animals’ intelligence.
The next day, many parents had to come to the science class and complain, because their children thought their parents were among the least intelligent of animals! The children said this was because the parents often did nothing but complain and they never listened to anyone.
Mr. Litmus had to calm down quite a few parents. This really helped some of them realize that they often do things not very cleverly.

A．they were angry B．they were not intelligent

I work at a university in the US where my team and I are trying to learn more about the American black duck, a kind of water bird. And now we are using an exciting piece of equipment (设备) called a “night vision scope”. By using it, we can see the ducks in the dark.
We’re worried about black ducks mainly because their numbers are falling hugely. And we don’t know whether there’s enough food on the east coast for these birds. There’s lots of information about their daytime activities, but nothing about what they do at night, because we simply don’t have the equipment. But this new “scope” will make really clear pictures, even on moonless nights, so we will be able to find out more about the ducks.
It is very hard work. There are four of us, and we each work six hours every day. We study ducks in different places, and I sometimes have to take a boat to where I need to work. The weather is not helpful because most of the time it’s wet. Oh, and it’s so quiet that sometimes I need coffee to stop me falling asleep.
But I like this job. Over the summer, we will spend hours in a laboratory, where we will look at our results together. It will be hard to stay there every day because of the hot weather — but it is very important to do this!
