We often see ants looking for new homes and returning with other ants if they’ve found a good one. Ants do this by teaching. And a team of scientists have developed small robots to study how ants teach one another. The robots can behave like rock ants. They use one-to-one teaching—an ant discovers a better home and teaches the route (路线) to another.
In their research, the scientists replaced the teaching ant with a small robot. They circled an area with two homes for the ants. One was their old home, and the other was a new, better home built for them. The researchers waited for an ant to leave its old home and put the robot directly ahead of it.
Then the robot moved towards the new, better home. During its journey, the robot stopped from time to time to wait for the follower ant.
The ant needed to look around and get familiar with things around it. When the robot led the follower ant to the new home, the ant examined the new home in its own time and began its way back home. The robot had successfully taught the route to the pupil ant.
A key part of the teaching is tandem (纵排的) running. One ant leads another slowly along a route to the new-found home. The pupil ant memorizes the route so that it can find its way back home by itself and then lead another ant to the new home, and the process repeats.
54. Paragraph 2 mainly talks about ________.
A. steps in building a home for ants
B. preparations for the teaching process
C. locations of the small robot and the ant
D. differences between the two homes for ants
55. What can we infer from the passage ________
A. Some ants can learn from humans.
B. Ants usually look for new homes together.
C. Things around may help an ant find its way.
D. Repeating can help an ant improve its memory.
56. What’s the best title for the passage ________
A. Using robots to study ants’ teaching process
B. Passing knowledge to ants in an easy way
C. How rock ants look for a new home
D. How rock ants know their way
C
Once there was a boy named Arav. His father managed an iron(铁) shop where he used to help his father with his work.
One day he asked his father, “What is the value of a human ” His father thought for a while and said, “It is difficult to judge (判断) the value of any human being because everyone’s value is priceless.”
Arav couldn’t understand it. And he asked, “How is that If the value of all human beings is priceless, then why are some people respected while others are not ”
His father took out an iron bar (铁棒) and asked, “What is the price of this piece of iron bar ”Arav replied, “No more than 1 yuan.” Father asked, “What will happen if I make small nails (钉子) out of this piece ” Arav said, “Doing this will increase its price.”
Father asked, “What if we use it to make a lot of springs (发条) for watches ” Arav replied, “Then, we can get more money from this.” Father smiled and said, “The value of a man is just like this iron bar. It is not in what he is now, but in what he can become in the future.” After hearing this, Arav knew what his father wanted to say.

In today’s world, science and technology are developing at an amazing speed. They bring about great changes in our lives and help us a lot.
Let’s consider the communication technology. The invention of the Internet and smartphones has completely changed the way we communicate. People can stay connected with friends and family across the world, share information fast, and get plenty of knowledge online. AI Sora is a new AI tool which is able to understand human language, learn from experience, and make wise decisions in different situations. One of the key advantages of AI Sora is its ability to understand natural language. This allows users to communicate with the system, asking questions, answering in a polite way, changing words into videos and so on.
Secondly, transportation (运输) have been greatly changed by science and technology. The development of planes and high-speed trains has made travel faster, safer, and more convenient (方便的). Satellite navigation systems (卫星导航系统) have made it easier for people to find their way.
Education has also been influenced by science and technology. The use of modern tools has made learning more interesting. Students can have online courses and get online learning. They can learn at their own speed and from anywhere. Teachers can also use technology to make better lesson plans.
But some scientists are worried about the risk of using science and technology. Some people use them to do something bad, which is difficult for most people to tell. So science and technology have made a big difference to society, shaping the way we live, work, and communicate, but we should know the challenge and risk.
