Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper—a little bird called a honey guide.
The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives(蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the_follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.
Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.

有一种鸟，能轻易找到蜂蜜，并借助人或其他动物的帮助，得到自己喜欢的蜂蜡。
16．B 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Often，these nests are high up in trees，and it is difficult to find them.”可知答案。野蜂窝难找是因为它通常都是隐藏在很高的树上。
17．C 词义猜测题。画线词指的是前面的passing animals and people或the curious animal or person，这些动物或人都是来找蜂蜜的，故C项正确。
18．A 推理判断题。这种蜂蜜向导的特殊之处就在于它们获得食物的方式与众不同。根据第二段的叙述可知，这种鸟以一种蜂蜡为食，但是这种蜂蜡在蜂窝的深处，它们够不到，于是它们便找来喜欢蜂蜜的帮手相助。
19．D 标题判断题。本文主要讲述的是非洲森林里的一种奇特的动物——一种蜂蜜向导，它们帮助喜爱蜂蜜的人或其他动物寻找蜂蜜，并得到自己想要的蜂蜡，D项既概括了全文主旨，又不失风趣，helper一词很传神。为了得到不同的食物，人、动物和鸟儿互相帮助，各取所需。

Have you ever seen people dance? Some dances are fast and others are slow. People’s feet always move when they dance. They keep on moving until the music stops.
People have enjoyed dancing for a very long time. This story is of a different kind of dance. It is a dance without people or music. Yet this dance is one of the oldest in the world. It is the dance of bees.
If you have ever watched bees, you know that they are very clever. They also work hard looking for food and bringing it back to their home.
The home of the bees is called a bee hive. Here hundreds even thousand of bees live. They work day and night building small walls. There they make their honey. This is the same honey that we eat.
Where does the honey come from? Bees live on food from flowers. Have you seen bees flying around a flower garden? When a bee rests on a flower, it tries to go to the centre of it. There it takes in as much food as its body can hold. Then it flies to take the food back to the hive.
At the hive, bees change flower food into honey. Then they fly away for more food.
How do the bees know where to find the best food in the sweetest flowers? One bee acts as a guide. When it discovers good flowers, it flies back to the hive and tells the others. It does this by dancing for them.
The bee dances on one side. This tells the other bees which way to go to find the flowers. But that is not all. The bee dances for some time. And the length of its dance tells the other bees how far they must fly to reach the flowers.
When the bees see the dance, they know where the flowers are. They fly away and return with more food for the hive.
Sometimes we hear the music of the bees as they fly around. But few people have ever seen them dance. Yet without that dance we might never have sweet honey to eat.
1. The writer believes that_________.
A. people dance better than bees
B. people learned dance from bees
C. bees dance more often than people
D. bees don’t like music
2. From this passage we know that the dance of bees means_______.
A. They are good at dancing
B. they want to show their beauty
C. they communicate with each other
D. they have nothing to do
3. Which of the following is true?
A. People get honey from flowers directly.
B. People draw honey from bees’ bodies.
C. People produce honey in a secret place.
D. People get honey from bees indirectly.
4. What character do bees have?
