If the weather is warm, you may see many ants under the stone. If the weather is cold, many ants will be in their houses under the ground. Most of the ants are the workers. They are very busy. They gather food, care for the young ants. But they must have a queen ant. The queen does not work. She is very important in the ants family because she lays the eggs. Those eggs will become new ants. You can recognize the queen because she is much bigger than other ants. If you can not find the ants under a stone, look for an ant nest around a small hole in the ground. You may dig quite deep to get the ants. There are many kinds of ants in America. One kind is very strong. People are afraid of it, and animals are afraid of it, too. These ants move in large groups. They eat all the animals they meet on their way. They kill and eat elephants if the elephants dont run away in time, and they can eat wooden houses. When the ants come near, people leave their homes.

It has 350 stores, eight night clubs, and a seven-acre park! There are park- ing spaces for 2,750 cars. About 750,000 people shop there every week.The first indoor mall in the United States was built in 1965 in Edina, Minnesota. People like doing all their shopping in one place.

Now, malls are like town centers where people come to do many things, they shop, of course, they also eat in food courts that have food from all over the world. They see movies at theatres. Some people even get their daily exercise by doing the new sport of mall walking. Others go to malls to meet friends.In some malls, people can see a doctor or a dentist and even attend church.

Joining us from our Cardiff studio is Professor Andrew Morgan, who’s been doing some research into this subject. Professor Morgan.M: Yes, well, I’ve been looking into the ability of certain animals to freeze themselves for a certain amount of time, and then to come back to life when the circumstances around them change. And, what I’ve been working on over the past two years is the particular process that enables them to do this.W: What have you actually discoveredM: I think it’s a particular chemical in the animals’ bodies which begins to work under certain circumstances. And I’m now experimenting with this chemical to see if I can get other animals that wouldn’t normally be able to freeze themselves to be able to do this.W: Have you had any successM: I have so far. It’s been going very well. And I’m reasonably confident that perhaps within ten years from now I’ll be able to freeze human beings for as long or as short a time as I would like to, and then bring them back to life again in exactly the same state that they were in before they were frozenjust as you can do with animals.W: And what’s the main application of your researchM: I think the main application of this for human beings would be for people with terminal illnesses, such as certain types of cancer, AIDS. We could freeze them, find a cure for the illness and then bring them back to life again and administer the cure.W: I see. Well, this obviously is going to create great debate I would think as to the rights and wrongs of whether we should be actually doing this.What does Professor Morgan do().A. He is a film director of Science Fiction.B. He is a writer of Science Fiction.C. He is a scientist who researches on how to freeze a body and bring it back to life later.D. He is a doctor who treats terminal illnesses.14.What is it about Paris For the last two centuries it has been the single most visited city in the world.
