Honeybees can do three kinds of jobs.

The honeybee is one of the most unusual insects in the world. Bees are special because they divide up their work. Each bee has a certain job to do.

The busiest bee is the worker. Workers build the nest, called a hive. Inside the hive, workers make a honeycomb from wax(蜂蜡). They store honey there for food. Workers are always cleaning and fixing the hive. They even stand at the opening and fan their wings to cool the hive. Worker bees will attack anything—even people—to keep their hive safe.

Another kind of bee is the drone(雄蜂). Drones are male bees, and their job is to fly with the queen bee and mate with her. After the queen mates, the worker bees drive the drones away. The drones then starve to death.

The third kind of bee is the queen. Each hive needs only one queen, and her job is laying eggs. She can lay as many as 2, 000 eggs a day.

66. The bee’s nest is called a _______. 

  A. drone            B. honeycomb              C. hive          D. wax

67. Wax is used to make the _______. 

  A. nest              B. honeycomb              C. fan            D. hive

68. Which jobs do workers do?

  A. They lay 2, 000 eggs each day and build a nest.

  B. They mate with the queen bee and then starve.

  C. They clean the hive and keep it cool.

  D. They attack the queen bee.

69. According to the story, bees _______. 

  A. are very dangerous insects

  B. will attack anything or anyone to protect the hive, if necessary

  C. are like any other insect that flies

  D. eat each other as food

70. The drone is driven away when its job is finished, because _______. 

  A. it attacked the workers

  B. it is no longer needed in the hive

  C. the queen bee has died

  D. it ate the queen bee

Over time, the cuckoo(杜鹃) has learned to get other birds to care for its babies. The cuckoo is an amazing bird.

Most birds lay their eggs and look after them until their babies hatch out(孵化). Then they feed their babies until they are ready to leave the nest.

Some birds are not such good parents. Cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of other birds and do not care for their own babies. The cuckoo gets other birds to act as the parents. The other birds are left with the work of bringing up the young cuckoos as well as their own babies!

If the cuckoo egg hatches first, the baby cuckoo will often push the other eggs out of the nest so that it can get all the attention of its new mother. The young cuckoo sometimes even pushes the other babies out of the nest. The young cuckoo has a loud cry and is often bigger than the other baby birds. It will take all the food and the space in the nest.

A cuckoo lays around 25 eggs each year in the nests of other birds. This means that many other birds spend all their time looking after young cuckoos instead of their own babies. Some birds have learned to recognize(辨别) the cuckoos’ eggs and they push them out of their nest. But the cuckoos have also found ways of fooling the other birds. They can change their egg to make it look just like the other birds’ own eggs.

(　 ) 46．After most birds lay their eggs, they will _________.

　 A. look after them until their babies hatch out　 B. push the eggs out of the nest

　 C. eat all the eggs　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　 D. do nothing but leave them in the nest

A. They lay their eggs in the nests of other birds.　 B. They do not care for their own babies.

C. They get the other birds to act as the parents.　 D. All of the above.

(　 ) 49．If the cuckoo egg hatches first, the cuckoo babies will often _________.

A. push the other eggs out of the nest　　　 B. fly to find their own parents

　　 C. help to warm the other eggs　　　　　 D. do nothing but wait for food

(　 ) 50．Which of the following statements is true?

B. No bird can recognize the cuckoo’s eggs.

C. Some birds can recognize the cuckoo’s eggs and push them out of the nest.
