This was the only entrance to the house. Though Tom would be away for at least three days, Bill had a strange feeling

15、of his nearness. In the stillness he seemed to hear Toms voice. He turned round quickly, but there was only the girl.The girl carrying an oil lamp led Bill upstairs. She stopped and raised the lamp in each doorway, staring at him meanwhile. Satisfied he was the only guest, Bill came to the last door

16、.“You sleep here, sir,” she said, giving him the lamp.” Your friend slept here, too.”“Good night, miss,” he said politely.Her lips moved in reply, but he didnt catch the words. Her eyes never for a moment left his face. He stepped in, and as he turned to close the door she was still standing there.

17、In the silence he felt a little terrified now. He shut the door in the girls face then, leaving her in the dark. He opened it again almost at once. She had disappeared without a sound.

Sometimes, the dead ant get moved away very soonwithin a

21、n hour of dying. This behavior is interesting to scientists, who wonder how ants know for sureand so soonthat another ant is dead.One scientist recently came up with a way to explain this ant behavior. Dong-Hwan Choe is a biologist. Choe found that Argentine ants have a chemical on the outside of th

22、eir bodies that signals to other ants, “Im deadtake me away.”But theres a twist to Choes discovery. Choe says that the living antsnot just the dead oneshave this death chemical. In other words, while an ant crawls around, perhaps in a picnic or home, its telling other ants that its dead.What keeps a

23、nts from dragging away the living ants？Choe found that Argentine ants have two additional chemicals on their bodies, and these tell nearby ants something like,“WaitIm not dead yet.”So Choes research turned up two sets of chemical signals in ants: one says, “Im dead,”and the other set says, “Im not d

24、ead yet.”Other scientists have tried to figure out how ants know when another ant is dead. If an ant is knocked unconscious, for example, other ants leave it alone until it wakes up. That means ants know that unmoving ants can still be alive.Choe suspects that when an Argentine ant dies, the chemica

25、l that says “Wait-Im not dead yet”quickly goes away. Once that chemical is gone, only the one that says “Im dead”is left. “Its because the dead ant no longer smells like a living ant that it gets carried to the graveyard, not because its body releases new unique chemicals after death,”said Choe. Whe

26、n other ants detect the “dead”chemical without the “not dead yet”chemical, they drag away the body.Understanding this behavior may help scientists figure out how to stop Argentine ants from invading new places and causing problems. Choe would like to find a way to use the newly discovered chemicals

27、to spread ant killer to Argentine ant nests.The ants removal behavior is important to the overall health of the nest. “Being able to quickly remove dead individuals and other possible sources of disease is extremely important to all animals living in societies, including us,”says Choe. “Think about
