听力原文：M: Hi, Sue. Where have you been？

W: Oh. Hi, Dan. I was just at the library. I have to hand in my biology paper tomorrow.

M: Tomorrow？ Oh, no. I thought it wasn't due till Monday.

W: Oh. Don't worry. It is due Monday. But I'm going away for the weekend and won't be back till Monday night.

M: Oh, where are you going？

W: California. We're having a family reunion. It's my grandmother's ninetieth birthday. So all the cousins and aunts and uncles are going. She planned the whole thing herself.

M: Wow. That's great. How many people will be there？

W: Around sixty. My family is big and spread out but we're pretty dose. So have you started working on your biology paper？

M: Yeah. I'm doing it on bees and how they're able to recognize whether another bee is related to them.

W: How can they tell？

M: They use their sense of smell. The honey bees guard their nests this way. If another bee approaches the nest, the guard determines if the new bee is familiar. If it is, it's allowed to enter.

W: Interesting. Can other insects do this？ Well, the paper wasps can. Each wasp nest has a special combination of plant fibers and se the wasps that live there have a unique smell. Those two are the only kinds I've read about so far.

M: Well, you've still got time. It sounds like that the bees are picky about who comes to their family reunion.

e popular image of bees as the ultimate hard workers was inaccurate.“Al—though we see bees buzzing around tirelessly in spring and summer，the common belief in a bee’s busy nature is based on a misconception，” he said.People only really see bees when they’re out flying，or they look at a colony of bees and see thousands of them buzzing around.They don't get to pick them out as individuals.The professor，who this month won a German Zoological Society award for his work on bees，added that bees compensated for their apparent laziness with high intelligence，advanced memory skills and an ability to learn quickly.

The suggestion that bees were not pulling their weight met with skepticism from British beekeepers.Glyn Davies，the President of the British Beekeepers Association，said that bees were not lazy but efficient，“At any particular stage in its energy by doing nothing.Each bee has a unit of life energy and the faster it works，the faster it dies.They are being very wise and perhaps humans should try to follow their example instead of running about like headless chickens.”

The idea of the busy bee is several thousand years old.One current author who has nothing but admiration for the bee is Paul Theroux，the novelist and part-time beekeeper.“I have never seen a bee sleeping.My bees never stop working，”he said.Mr.

Theroux added that Prof.Menzel’s research could have been affected by his national origins.“Perhaps in comparison to the German rate of work，the bee does look lazy，”he said.

Few people think that the busy bee idea will go away，despite the efforts of Prof.Menzel.It seems absurd to apply the word“lazy”to a colony of creatures capable of producing something so extraordinary as honeycomb.The truth is that bees give us an inferiority complex that is not entirely unjustified.In fact，the worship of bees seems to be undergoing a renaissance.IBM recently ran a series of ads drawing on the“waggle dance”of bees，telling businessmen to“make your business waggle.”

听力原文：W: Stan, do you have a minute？

M: Oh, hi, Cathy. Sure. What's up？

W: Welt, I've been meaning to talk to you about the situation in the office.

M: I'm not in there very often. It's so noisy that I can't work.

W: That's exactly what I'm getting at. We're supposed to be able to do our preparation and marking in that office, but have you noticed7 Jack constantly has students coming in to get help with his course. A lot of people are going in and out.

M: Has anybody spoken to him about it？

W: No, not yet, but someone's going to have to.

M: We can't really ask him to stop having students come in for help, can we？

W: No, of course not. But I'm not able to do my work and neither are you. I imagine it's the same for the others in the office.

M: Hmmm, could we ask for a kind of meeting room？ When the teachers have to talk with a student, they could go to the meeting room and not use the office. You know, there's a room down the hall, a rather small room that we could ask to use. It's only for storing supplies.

W: You mean that little storage room？ Oh, that would be too small.

M. Are you sure？ With the cabinets taken out, it might be bigger than it looks.

W: Come to think of it, you may be on to something. I'd like to have a look at that room. Can we go there now？

(23)

A．There aren't enough cabinets.

B．There is too much noise.

C．Office supplies are taking up space.

D．Some teaching assistants don't have desks.
