[00:-1.00]1.How do honey bees communicate with each other?
[00:-2.00]They do different dance,a circle dance and a wagging dance.
[00:-3.00]2.What are they able to tell each other?
[00:-4.00]They are able to tell each other that food has been discovered
[00:-5.00]and how far away the feeding place is.
[00:-6.00]1.What does the word"communicate"meam?
[00:-7.00]To pass information/ordes,etc.to someone or to an animal.
[00:-8.00]2.What made it easier to do research on the language of honey bees?
[00:-9.00]The development of the modern beehive in 1851.
[00:10.00]3.What made Von Frisch decide to carry out his experiments?
[00:11.00]He had moticed that bees quickly discovered food,
[00:12.00]and seemed to be able to communicate this news to each other.
[00:13.00]4.What did Von Frisch do in order to be able to watch the bees scientifically?
[00:14.00]He built a special hive with one honeycomb and a glass wall;
[00:15.00]he marked the bees with little spots of color.
[00:16.00]5.Why might surrounding bees be excited by a dance?
[00:17.00]Because it communicated news of food.
[00:18.00]6.What showed that the other bees understood the message of the first bee?
[00:19.00]They copied the movements of the first dancer.
[00:20.00]7.What does the circle dance mean?
[00:21.00]Food is near.
[00:22.00]8.What does the wagging dance mean?
[00:23.00]Food is far away.
[00:24.00]Language points
[00:25.00]1.Among the different typed of bee,it is the honey bee
[00:26.00]that has most interested scientists because
[00:27.00]of the "language"they use to communicate with each other.
[00:28.00]It is/was + sth/sb+ that-clause
[00:29.00]Mr.Flower left all his money to his wife in 1989.
[00:30.00]It was Mr.Flower that left all his money to his wife in 1989.

[00:32.00]It was to his wife that Mr.Flower left all his money in 1989.
[00:33.00]It was in 1989 that Mr.Flower left all his money to his wife.
[00:34.00]2.The development of the modern beehive in 1851
[00:35.00]made it possible to design experiments to reserach the language of honey bees.

[00:37.00]I found it important to learn spoken English.
[00:38.00]She feels it her dut to support her family.
[00:39.00]I think it necessary for her to learn the violin.
[00:40.00]The music made it possible for you to fall asleep.
[00:41.00]3.Professor Karl von Frisch,an Austrian scientist,
[00:42.00]spent many years of his life researching the amazing ways honey bees
[00:43.00]communicate in their dark hives.
[00:44.00]4.In order to tell the bees apart,he painted some bees with little sports of clour.
[00:45.00]tell apart
[00:46.00]Can you tell the two things apart?
[00:47.00]The twins are so much alike that their own mother can hardly tell them apart.
[00:48.00]5.They trooped behind the first dancer,copying its movements.
[00:49.00]a troop of young pioneers a troop of visitors
[00:50.00]We must have our own troops. The children trooped into the park.
[00:51.00]The students trooped behind the teacher into the museum.
[00:52.00]copy
[00:53.00]He is busy copying his compostiton.
[00:54.00]We are going to buy a set of office copying machine.
[00:55.00]Please copy my actions.
[00:56.00]You should copy his strong points,not his weak points.
[00:57.00]6.He marked all the bees thtat came to the nearly feeding place blue.
[00:58.00]and all the bees that went to the faraway place were marked red.
[00:59.00]The house is not far away. He lives far away from the school.
[-1:00.00]I saw her going to a near-by postbox before lunch.
[-1:-1.00]He gave up his seat to the old man standing near by.
[-1:-2.00]good-looking leftover nationwide radioactive
[-1:-3.00]widespread hard-working low-lying noble-minded
[-1:-4.00]well-known worldwide
[-1:-5.00]What use did Von Frisch notice about the wagging dance?
[-1:-6.00]The farther away the feeling station,
[-1:-7.00]the slower the wagging dance tells the direction of the feeding station.
[-1:-8.00]A circle dance means:food is near.
[-1:-9.00]A wagging dance means:food is far away.
[-1:10.00]A faster wagging dance means:food is closer.
[-1:11.00]A slower wagging dance means:food is farther away.
[-1:12.00]Language points
[-1:13.00]1.Back at the hive they watched the wagging dance closely.
[-1:14.00]Far away from home you should take more care of yourself.
[-1:15.00]Look out for cars when crossing the street.
[-1:16.00]2.They discovered that the farther away the feeding station was,
[-1:17.00]the slower the dance was.
[-1:18.00]We can't go any father without a rest.
[-1:19.00]the + 比较级 ...the + 比较级..

[-1:26.00]The money didn't come to light until the old man was going to die.
[-1:27.00]4.The number of wagging dances per minuter
[-1:28.00]told the exact distance to the feeding place.
[-1:29.00]The number of students in our class is 55.
[-1:30.00]A number of students in our class are out by the lake.
[-1:31.00]5.They also found out that bees fly a maximum distance
[-1:32.00]of 3.2 kilometres between their hive and a feeding place.
[-1:33.00]The birds are flying high in the sky.
[-1:34.00]This type of place now flies the Atlantic in a few hours.
[-1:35.00]We hope you'll fly supplies to us immediately.
[-1:36.00]Children like to fly kites in spring.
[-1:37.00]6.He noticed that the straight part of the dance was different
[-1:38.00]in the afternoon from what it had been in the morning.
[-1:39.00]A is different from B
[-1:40.00]His action was different from what he had said.
[-1:41.00]The fact is different from what they reported.
[-1:42.00]7.It soon beacame clear that the straight part of the dance changed
[-1:43.00]when the sun's position changed.
[-1:44.00]It+be/become+adj./n+that...
[-1:45.00]It is obvious that the temperature changed when the season changes.
[-1:46.00]It isn't good that one reads newspapers when lying in bed.
[-1:47.00]8.If the feeding pace was toward the sun,
[-1:48.00]the dancer headed straight upward during the straight part of the wagging dance.
[-1:49.00]If the feeding place was away from the sun,
[-1:50.00]the straight part of the wagging dance pointed downward.
[-1:51.00]We are heading toward the mountain village.
[-1:52.00]They saw the enemy troops heading northeast.
[-1:53.00]The hands of the clock pointed to half past one.
[-1:54.00]9.Centuries ago,the word"beeline"was made to describe this thin line of bes
[-1:55.00]flying through the air.
[-1:56.00]10.From this we get the expression"to make a beeline for someone or something",
[-1:57.00]which means to go quickly along a straight direct course for someone or something.
[-1:58.00]make a beeline for
[-1:59.00]As he spoke he made a beeline for the door.
