Such behavior is common in people. Other animals like it toothat's why a dog fetches a stick, or a cat bats at toys. Play is an enjoyable way to pass the time. A new study finds that it's not just mammals that like to play. Bumblebees （大黄蜂）do it too, making them the first insects known to play.In the study, Hiruni Samadi Galpayage Dona, an insect expert, did an experimeni using 200 untrained bumblebees to see if they might play. Of those, 45 would be marked with a number when they emerged as adults.A pathway was set up from the bumblebees' nest to a feeding area. One side contained small wooden balls that rolled. The other side had the same number of balls, but they were stuck to (he floor. Half balls on each side were colored balls. The rest were left unpainted.For three hours a day over 18 days, Galpayage Dona found bumblebees weren't so interested in the side where the balls didn't move, but they explored the side areas and interacted with the balls. Once they managed to roll a ball, they strongly preferred that side. They returned, climbing on the balls and rolling them around. She also found bumblebees preferred certain colors of balls.“There's something about the mobility that is more interesting fbr the bumblebees than just colored objects,'' Galpayage Dona says. In another experiment, she sometimes left the balls out overnight. *'When I came in the next day, I would always find some bumblebees rolling the balls, As with mammals, the bumblebees who played the most were the younger ones. Their play tapered off as they got older.The scientists say it's not clear why the bumblebees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it. But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects* minds work and whether they have feelings.8. How does the author introduce the topic?A. By describing the fun of play.B.

Often, these industries spend more money making themselves appear sustainable than they do taking actual sustainable measures into their company.Citics, financial institutions, and scores of companies have announced plans to reduce （heir emissions to zero, which, in principle, should help the fight against climate change.“The problem is that the criteria for these net-zero commitments have varying levels of precision and loopholes （漏洞）J said UN Sccrctary-Gcncral Antonio Guterres during the launch of the report.Many net-zero plans contain far-away or unclear targets and often call for the use of unproved technologies like carbon capture and tree planting, which effectively allow companies to continue polluting the atmosphere. Studies show that most of these net-zero plans will do liule to stop temperatures from rising. For example, many oil majors have announced plans to reduce emissions from their operations to zero by 2050 that do not lake into account the carbon emitted by the fossil fuels they sell, which would allow them to increase production. Far from decreasing, fossil fuel production is going strong.To close these net-zero loopholes, the UN this week released a report that includes 10 recommendations to ensure that companies, cities, regions, and other non-state actors issue credible and accountable net zero commitments. "Their plans cannot rely on cheap carbon credits instead of immediately cutting their own emissions,M Guterres said.Financial institutions need to cut down emissions from all their investments and businesses need to bring down the carbon footprint of their supply chain, the report said. The report's lead author, Catherine McKenna, urged companies to release new net-zero targets within a year. The updated targets must contain concrete actionable details.12. What does "greenwashing” refer to?A. A green technology.B. A misleading statement.C. A business model.D. A spending target.13. Why does the author mention the oil majors?A. To prove oil majors are really responsible.B. To set some good examples for other companies.C. To show some net- zero commitments make no sense.D. lb indicate the benefit of net zero plans to climate change.14. How docs Guterres feel about the issued net-zero plans?A. Dissatisfied. B. Guilty.C. Shocked.D. Confused.15. What is advised to do (o fix net-zero loopholes?A. Plant more trees.B. Share more supply chains.C. Depend on cheap carbon credits.D. Make concrete actionable targets.二、七选五Learning how to care for a sad person will help you be there for your loved ones and friends when they are down.
