stage brought a sudden rush ofexcitement.I have seen Dylan a couple of times since.My brother is not around so much these days.But hewas up for a visit recently.We passed a happy evening laughing an

favorite songcA few weeks ago,I called an Uber to take me to the Boston airport for a flight home for theholidays.As I slid into the back seat of the car,the warm intonations（语调）of the driversaccent washed over me in a familiar way.I learned that he was a recent West African immigrant with a few young children,workinghard to provide for his family.1 could relate：I am the daughter of two Ethiopian immigrantswho made their share of sacrifices to ensure my success.I told him I was on a college breakand headed home to visit my parents.Thats how he found out I go to Harvard.An approvingeye glinted at me in the rear view window,and quickly,we crossed the boundaries of riderand driver.I became his daughter,all grown up-the product of his sacrifice.And then came the fateful question：uWhat do you study?I answered history andliterature and the pride in his voice faded,as I knew it might.I didnt even get to add andAfrican-American studies*before he cut in,his voice thick with disappointment,All thatwork to get into Harvard,and you study history?Here I was,his daughter,squandering the biggest opportunity of her life.He went on todeliver the age-old lecture that all immigrant kids know.We are to become doctors（orlawyers,if our parents are being generous）-to make money and send money backhome.The unspoken demand,made across generations,which my Uber driver laid outplainly,is simple：Fulfill your role in the narrative（故事）of upward mobility so yourchildren can do the same.I used to feel anxious and backed into a comer by the questioning,but now as a junior incollege,I*m grateful for their support more than anything.This holiday season,Ive promisedmyself I wont huff and get annoyed at their inquiries.I wont defensively respond with”but Iplan to go to law school!when I get unrequested

flowers?If you said bees or hummingbirds,you got it.You wouldnt be the first if you mixed the two up.Now a group of researcherseven say we should embrace our history of considering the two together in the samegroup.The way scientists study bees could help them study hummingbird behavior,too.Scientists first compared the two back in the 1970s when studying how animals search forfood.The idea is that animals use a kind of math to make choices in order to minimize thework it takes to earn maximum rewards.Researchers at the time focused on movement rules，like the order in which they visited flowers,and where flowers were located relative toothers.It was almost like an algorithmC 算法）“for efficient searching,said David Pritchard,a biologist at the University of St.Andrews in Scotland.Hummingbirds and bees had similarsolutions.As the field of animal cognition（认知）appeared,hummingbird and bee researchparted.Neuroscientists and behavioral ecologists developed ways to study bee behavior innaturalistic settings.Hummingbird researchers compared hummingbirds to other birds andborrowed methods from psychology to study their ability to learn in the lab.To be fair,hummingbirds and bees differ.For example,hummingbirds have more advanced eyes andbrains than bees.Honeybees and bumblebees are social；hummingbirds typically arent.But however they perceive（感知）or process information,they both experience similarinformation,Dr.Pritchard said.In day-to-day searching for food,for example,hummingbirds may rely on more of a bees-eye view than a birds-eye view.Like other birds,they rely on landmarks,distances and directions to make maps when travelling long distances,but they dont use these cues to find flowers.Move a flower just an inch or so away fromwhere a hummingbird thought it was and it will hover over the flowers original第4页，共17页location.Dr.Pritchard is investigating if,like bees,hummingbirds engage in viewmatching-hovering,scanning snapshots of a place to its memory and using those asreferences later.12.What is the center of research on hummingbirds and bees in the 1970s?A.Memory.B.Movement rules.C.Reward calculating.D.Information processing.13.Which subjects research methods were adopted to study the learning ability ofHummingbirds?A.Math.B.Biology.C.Psychology.D.Ecology.14.How do researchers find out that hummingbirds are not
