22、 Dolphins, African gray parrots and some other animals understand the idea of “zero,” but researchers were surprised to find that honeybees also comprehend this abstract concept, considering the insects’ tiny brains, according to a new study. Honeybees have fewer than one million neurons (神经元), compared with the 86 billion neurons in humans—and yet, they grasp a concept that humans, by some measures, don’t start to understand before preschool.
The researchers set up two cards, each of which had a set of symbols on them, like triangles or circles. Then, they trained a group of the bees to fly to the card with the lower number of symbols. The bees quickly learned what the humans wanted them to do to get their delicious, sweet rewards. The trained bees were then shown a card that was empty and one that had symbols on it. There is no need for the bees to be trained to fly more often to the empty card—thus showing that they understood that “zero” was a number less than the others.
Although they flew more often to an empty card than to one that had one symbol on it, it became easier for them to distinguish when the symbols on the card increased in number. For example, they more often flew to the zero when the other card had four symbols than when it had one.
Perhaps these findings will explain the brain mechanism (机制) behind what allows us to understand the concept of “nothing,” Adrian Dyer, a researcher said. This understanding, in turn, could help in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) that also understands this concept. “If bees can understand ‘zero’ with a brain of less than a million neurons, it suggests there are simple, efficient ways to teach AI new tricks,” Dyer said in the statement.
【1】What is a surprising finding for the researchers?
A. Many animals also comprehend the meaning of “zero”.
B. The number of neurons of honeybees is much smaller.
C. Honeybees can understand “zero” with their tiny brains.
D. Humans fail to recognize abstract ideas before preschool.
【2】What can the bees do without further training?
A. Fly directly to the card with more symbols on it.
B. Fly less often to the card with fewer symbols on it.
C. Fly quite slowly to the card without anything on it.
D. Fly more often to the card without any symbol on it.
【3】What does Adrian Dyer say about these findings?
A. They offer inspiration to the development of technology.
B. They enable people to understand more abstract concepts.
C. They suggest ways to teach humans some complex tricks.
D. They allow people to set a new type of brain mechanism.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A. Honeybees know about the concept of “zero”.
B. Honeybees can understand much as humans do.
C. Honeybees will help to improve AI in the future.
D. Honeybees can be trained to comprehend “zero”.

THE REMARKABLE ROCKS area must-see on Kangaroo Island
accessible by air and ferry from the Australian mainland
Hop on new Kangaroo Island trail
for five-day adventure
It sounds like an amusement park.Or a portion of a zoo reserved for marsupials(有袋动物). But Kangaroo Island(KI), 30 minutes by air from Adelaide in South Australia, is just the opposite. Much of the island remained inaccessible to visitors until this year.Opened to the public in May, the Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail, a nearly 38-mile, fie-day hike, ushers adventurous trekkers on a botanically distinctive immersion into the islands' south-west side.
Footers can expect to walk roughly four to seven hours a day, passing colorful flower, splendid sugar gum tees and massive native plant life. In this timeless setting, they'll likely sport kangaroos, goanna lizards and spiny echidna. From cliff rims， they'll overlook the Southern Ocean， where sharks lurk and schools of salmon cluster in flower like, protective formations.
The trial includes 4 camping areas,each outfitted with 24 tent platforms :12 for self-guided walkers and 12 for tour operators,who also can arrange options off the trail.
Independent trekkers pay about$124to do the walk; the cost includes the parking at the Flinders Chase visitor center ,and a trail guide and map.
KI is accessible both by air and by ferry ;www.tourkangarooisland. com.au
