31、rojects (as well as their burning bites). When they need to, colonies of these insects turn themselves into ladders, chains and walls. And when flood water rises, a colony can float to safety by making an unusual boat. The ants hold tightly to each other, forming a floating disk atop the water. The

32、antraft may float for months seeking safe harbor. The ants on the bottom dont drown, and the ants on the top stay dry. Working together, the ants float to safety - even though a single ant alone in the water will struggle to survive.“They have to stay together as a colony to survive? Nathan Mlot sai

33、d.Fire ants and water dont mix. The ants hard outer shell, naturally repels water. A drop of water can sit on top of the ant like a backpack. When an ant docs end up underwater, tiny hairs on its body can trap bubbles of air that give the bug a boost up.To investigate the science behind the antraft,

34、 the scientists placed hundreds or thousands of ants at a time in the water. A group of ants took about 100 seconds, on average, to build a raft. The researchers repeated the experiment multiple times. Each time, the ants organized themselves the same way, creating a raft about the size and the thic

35、kness of a thin pancake. The rafts were flexible and strong, staying together even when the researchers pushed the rafts underwater.The scientists then froze the rafts in liquid nitrogen and studied them under powerful microscopes to figure out how the ants kept everyone safe and the water out.The t

36、eam found that some ants used their jaws to bite other ants legs. Other ants joined their legs together. Thanks to these light bonds, say the scientists, the ants did a better job keeping the water away than any one ant could do on its own. By working together, thousands of ants can stay alive in th

40、 have shown that a good nights rest helps us stay healthy, both mentally and physically. And researchers say sleep is probably the best tool we have fbr memory and learning.Michael Twery is an expert on the science of sleep and sleep disorders. He told me that a good nights sleep helps to learn bett

41、er. Getting a good nights sleep is important fbr the learning and memory process because it stores the training exercises and the learning exercises into our more permanent （持久的）memory while we re sleeping 7-8 hours in bed. And then the next morning when you wake up, your mind is better prepared to

42、act on that in formation.,But what about getting rest during the middle of the day? Short periods of sleep may help our brains work better or so says a recent study on napping.Past studies have shown that napping can help babies and young children learn belter. And napping can help brain performance

43、 in older adults. Taking a nap may also help this group of people fight off age-related memory loss.Researchers recently looked at information provided by nearly 3,000 Chinese adults, aged 65 years or older. They wanted to learn if napping after a mid-day meal had any effect on the mental performanc

44、e of the subjects. Nearly 60 percent of those 3,000 people said they did take a nap after lunch and that their naps lasted anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes. Most of the subjects said they napped for about an hour.The study found that people who took an hour-long nap did much better on mental tests tha

45、n those who did not nap. The hour-long nappers also did better on the tests （han those who napped for shorter and longer periods.Keep in mind, however, that these are the findings for those over the age of 65. Yet Doctor Michael Twery notes that an hour long nap may be too long fbr young, healthy ad

46、ults. Currently, were recommending that we try to sleep for about 30 minutes or less. And 30 minutes is enough to remove the pressure to sleep and will help us feel more awake. If we nap longer, we will get trapped into those deeper layers of sleep, which can be hard to get out of”According to Twery
