五、阅读理解
When an ant dies, other ants take it out of the nest, often within an hour after its death(死亡).This behavior(行为)interests scientists and they wonder how ants know for sure-and so soon-that another ant is dead.
One scientist recently(近来)came up with a way to explain (解释)this ant behaviour. Dong-Hwan Choe is a biologist, a scientist who studies animals and plants. He found that ants have a chemical(化学药品)on the outside of their bodies that $18一(信号)to other ants,”I’m dead-take me away” when it is dead.
But there's a question to 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 don't move the living ant out of the nest. How do they know this ant is not dead Choe found that ants have another chemical(化学品)on their bodies. The chemical tells nearby ants something like,“Wait-I'm not dead yet” when it is not dead. Choe suspects(怀疑)that when an ant dies,the chemical that says,“Wait-I'm not dead yet” quickly goes away. When other ants detect(侦查)the “dead" chemical without the "not dead yet”chemical, they move away the body.
To test his idea,Choe and his team put different chemicals on ants. When the scientists used the "I'm dead" chemical,other ants quickly moved the treated(被治疗的)ant away. When the scientists used the "Wait-rm not dead yet" chemical,other ants left the treated ant alone. Choe believes this behavior shows that the "not dead yet" chemical overrides(优先于)the "dead" chemical when picked up by other ants. And that when an ant dies, the "not dead yet"chemical disappears. Other nearby ants then detect the remaining "dead" chemical and remove the body from the nest.
Understanding this behavior can help scientists find out how to stop ants from invading (侵犯)new places and causing problems.
