单选题{{B}}Passage Two{{/B}}
According to new research of Prof.
Randolf Menzel from the Free University in Berlin, the popular image of bees as
the ultimate hard workers was inaccurate. "Although we see bees buzzing
around tirelessly in spring and summer, the common belief in a bee's busy
nature is based on a misconception," he said. People only really see bees when
they're out flying, or they look at a colony of bees and see thousands of them
buzzing around. They don't get to pick them out as individuals. The professor,
who this month won a German Zoological Society award for his work on bees, added
that bees compensated for their apparent laziness with high intelligence,
advanced memory skills and an ability to learn quickly. The
suggestion that bees were not pulling their weight met with skepticism from
British beekeepers. Glyn Davies, the President of the British Beekeepers
Association, said that bees were not lazy but efficient. "At any particular
stage in its life, a bee has a specific job to do. If they are unable to do that
job, they conserve their energy by doing nothing. Each bee has a unit of life
energy and the faster it works, the faster it dies. They are being very wise and
perhaps humans should try to follow their example instead of running about like
headless chickens. " The idea of the busy bee is several
thousand years old. One current author who has nothing but admiration for the
bee is Paul Theroux, the novelist and part-time beekeeper. "I have never seen a
bee sleeping. My bees never stop working. " he said, Mr. Theroux, who keeps 85
hives each containing 30000 bees in Hawaii, added that Prof. Menzel's
research could have been affected by his national origins. "Perhaps in
comparison to the German rate of work, the bee does look lazy," he
said. Few people think that the busy bee idea will go away,
despite the efforts of Prof. Menzel. It performs too many useful
functions in our culture. In fact, the worship of hees seems to be undergoing a
renaissance. IBM recently ran a series of ads drawing on the " waggle
dance" of bees, telling businessmen to "make your business waggle.

单选题{{B}}Passage Five{{/B}}
I'd been living with my wife for eight
years and one night. Morn says, "I guess you guys are never going to get
married. I mean, you've been through jail together, you're living together,
but…, oh, forget it." "Oh, well," I said," put it like that and
I'll marry your daughter tomorrow." Actually, I don't know what
we were waiting for, except that for a guy it's never the right time to get
married. I' m also suspicious of any two people who don't struggle with that
decision. Part of my problem was that I was still lusting in my heart after
other ladies. But somehow I knew that I wasn't going to find another woman
remotely as great as my soon-to-be wife. It's a good thing my mother-in-law
finally spoke up. I finally gathered my courage one day when we
were having a picnic, and popped the question. I also gave my wife a big tourist
pamphlet about Switzerland. I wasn't taking any chances. She
said no. It killed me. I felt sick to my stomach. I lost my
appetite. Our dog just stared at me, thinking, "If you're not going to eat your
lunch, I will." Finally, I said, "But the Switzerland trip is yours if you say
yes." "Switzerland , "she said, "is filled with precise,
humorless people." "Maybe I should have suggested
Paris?" For a minute it seemed as if my change in travel plans
would rate a solid "maybe". But she said no again. When we woke up the next
morning, she told me that she'd slept on my proposal. "I guess I was a little
rude to you last night," she explained. Meanwhile, I'm figuring I'm off the hook
for this marriage thing for at least another eight years. I could afford to be
generous. "I asked, you said no. It's okay," I said. I might
have looked a little too relieved because later that day she gave me a little
box. Inside was a gold watch. On the back was inscribed. "Yes. I've
reconsidered." I liked the watch, so I did the right
thing.
