37、er president Barack Obamas Clean Power Plan, which places limits on carbon dioxide emissions from power plants in an effort to reduce the impacts of climate change.

They survive by means of their

45、collective intelligence. Their decision-making power is distributed throughout the group; that is, no one ant or bee makes decisions for the group. Instead, they work together. As Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist at Stanford University, says, Ants arent smart. Ant colonies are.The same is true for bee

46、 colonies. Although bees and ants are quite different physically, they have a lot in common in terms of their social behavior. Specifically, honeybees and ants have similar roles within the colony, both have communication systems, and both have the capacity for learning.Ants communicate by using che

47、micals called pheromones, which can alert others to danger or to a food source. For example, when worker ants find a promising source, they let the rest of the colony know how to find it by leaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to the colony. The other ants pick up the message using their se

48、nse of smell. Bees, on the other hand, use movement to communicate with each other. Worker bees send messages to each other by means of a dance. Different speeds and movements send different messages. For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new home for the colony, they return a

49、nd do a dance for the other worker bees that indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it is. The faster the scouts dance, the better the new location is.Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning. One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a

50、 food source. The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts of sameness and difference to accomplish certain tasks. Ants take this one step further. Recent American research has shown that ants not only have the ability to learn, but also can tea

51、ch their foraging skills to other younger ants.They observed that older ants accompany young ants in search of food and teach them the route and how to avoid obstacles.As we can see, the social behavior of honeybees and ants is quite similar. Both coordinate complex actions and accomplish crucial su

52、rvival tasks by cooperating in groups consisting of many individuals. Unintelligent as they may be as individuals, as groups they often show amazing brilliance as they go about their everyday activities.1、What do ants and bees have in common?AThey live in similar-sized colonies.BThey make use of col
