Who would have thought that millions of people would buy a product containing living insects？A businessman named Milton Levine did. He created the Uncle Milton Ant Farm more than half a century ago. Today, grandchildren of the first ant colony owners are watching ants working hard on the farm.Milton Levine was not trained in the study of insects, also known as entomology. But he knew a lot about ants, and he designed an appealing way to share his knowledge.

Mr Levine began his career as a maker of unusual toys after World War Ⅱ. He had returned to his birthplace in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania，after serving in the United States military.He got the idea for his future career from a business newsletter, which suggested that the best chances for jobs at the time were in toys. He decided to make toys. They understood that American society was about to change. The huge population increase known as the Baby Boom was beginning. There would be a huge demand for children's toys.

One day, he saw ants parading around a swimming pool.The sight made Mr Levine remember how much he had liked watching ants as a boy on his uncle's farm. Those thoughts gave him the idea for the Uncle Milton Ant Farm.

Milton Levine developed a narrow, green plastic container. The top looked like a farm, showing a farmhouse, a barn, a bridge and a windmill(风车)．Under those images was a divider that separated the ants' underground and above­ground areas.Under that was the sand where people could watch the ants digging passageways.

The first Uncle Milton Ant Farms were an immediate success.They were sold in 1956.Two years later，two million of the educational toys had been sold.

Through the years the toys continued to attract ant­watchers. People buy Uncle Milton Ant Farms from stores and order from websites. During his life, Mr Levine saw the sale of more than twenty million of his ant colonies.

The Uncle Milton Ant Farm tells far more than how to care for the ants. For example, people receiving an Uncle Milton Ant Farm learn that the little insects are strong. Some can carry loads fifty times heavier than they are. A writer remembers owning an Uncle Milton Ant Farm when he was about five years old.He says he became very good at numbers by counting the ants.

What do Chinese college graduates have in common with ants? The recent    31    Ants Tribe about the life

of some young people    32    flock (聚集) to Beijing after   33    university, describes the graduates, like ants, as smart but    34    as individuals, drawing strength from living together in communities.

The book, which is based    35    two years’ interviews with about 600 low-income college graduates in Beijing,    36    in mid September, about a month before an announcement from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security that 74% of the 6.11 million new graduates had been    37    by Sept. 1.

For the book’s chief editor, Lian Si, a professor at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, that piece of statistic says    38    about the real situation for many of these graduates. “I am always    39    how many of these employed college graduates are leading a decent life,” Lian said. “I hope this book could offer a window on these graduates, whose stories are    40    known.”

The setting of the book is several so-called “settlement villages for college students” on the outskirts of Beijing,    41    large number of college graduates    42   . Most of these graduates work for    43    or medium-sized businesses,    44    less than 2,000 yuan a month. They live together because it’s    45   : the rent in these communities is only around 350 yuan a month. Many of them travel several hours a day for short-term jobs or job interviews.

Tangjialing, a small    46    20 kilometers from Tiananmen Square, has around 3,000    47    villagers, but has become a    48    for more than 50,000 migrants, most of them    49    from all over the country. Lian describes the students’    50    as five-or-six-storey buildings with two or three people crammed together in each room of about 10 square meters. Up to 70 or 80 people share the same toilet and kitchen.
