If you have ever tried to catch a resting butterfly, you know it is surprisingly difficult. A new study helps explain why.
Previous research had suggested that a butterfly's overhead wing clap forces the insect forward. Researchers thought the wing clap likely formed a pocket of air that shoots out like a jet, but no one had tested that until now.
To understand their flight, they placed six butterflies one at a time inside a wind tunnel which was filled with smoke and then used a laser to light up the smoke just behind the butterfly. Four high-speed cameras were placed in the tunnel to take photos of the movement of the butterfly and the-smoke as the butterfly was taking off. This let the researchers create a 3D picture of that air movement as the insect flapped its wings.
They observed a total of 25 takeoffs by six butterflies. Each included up to three wing beats after takeoff.The butterflies proved more likely to clap their wings together during the first few wing beats than later in flight.
The photos show that forces created by the wings give rise to a flight path. The butterflies rise as their wings move down and shoot forward as their wings move up. A wing clap on takeoff, paired with a quick tum, allowed the butterflies to fly away quickly. They also noticed the wings formed an air pocket just before clapping and that the wings' flexibility and this pocket improved the jet force created by the clap.
“The study is exciting,” says Ayodeji Bode-Oke, a mechanical engineer in Charlottesville. That means “we have solved the longtime puzzle about how butterflies fly, and it proves nothing is impossible on the road of scientific research. I can't wait to learn about how the study might inform designs for small aerial vehicles.”
4. Why was laser used in the experiment?
A. To frighten the butterflies into lying.
B. To help researchers observe the butterflies.
C. To help take clear photos of air movement.
D. To guide the butterflies through the smoke.
5. What is the finding of the research-according to paragraph 5?
A. Butterflies fly forward as wings move down.
B. An air pocket forms after butterflies clap wings.
C. Butterflies beat wings three times before taking off.
D. Upward wing movements help butterflies fly forward.
6. According to the writer, the finding of the research can be used for .
A. helping catch a resting butterfly more easily
B. helping do research on other butterfly-like insects
C. helping provide inspiration for making small flying vehicles
D. helping widen the applications of small flying vehicle
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Why Can Butterflies Fly Like a Jet?
B. How Can Butterflies Make Wing Claps?
C. How Can Butterflies Make Quick Tums?
D. Why Can Butterflies Run Away Quickly?
C
If our kids don’t fall, they don’t learn to get up. I still remember the day in high school that my mom forgot to pick me up from school. I’m the oldest of four children, and no doubt she’d had a long day with the other kids and it’d slipped her mind. After waiting at school for an hour, I walked the three miles home, and when I got to my house, I shut our front door with anger, stormed into the kitchen and screamed in my mom’s face that she’d forgotten me.
Later that night, my dad told me I no longer had a ride to school the next day. I figured my mom would still take me, but when the morning came, she refused. It was midterm, and as a straight-A student ready to start college applications, being late wasn’t an option (选择). In my mind, missing these tests would have been the end of my academic career. I begged my mom. I told her she was ruining my future and everything I’d worked for. But sheheld her ground, and that day, I walked to school. And I missed my tests.
My mom didn’t rescue me from failure. She let me suffer from it. She let me figure it out. She let me learn. Now, as a mom myself, I’ve realized that I want my kids to experience failure because failure is how we grow, learn and think outside of ourselves. It’s how we self-educate to learn what’s right and respectable, and what’s not. It’s how we become responsible and enthusiastic. Falling down makes us better because we learn how to get up.
8. What is one of the reasons that the author got angry that day?
A. She was tired.
B. She failed in a test.
C. She was late for school.
D. She had to walk home by herself.
9. How does the author feel about her childhood experience?
A. Terrible.
B. Meaningful.
C. Embarrassing.
D. Colorful.
10. The underlined phrase “held her ground” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A. gave in to me
B. said yes to me
C. stayed in the place
D. kept to her idea
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. My Way of Growing
B. The Value of Failure
C. My Love for Mother
D. Failure in My Life
D
Have you ever done something for someone else—knowing that your actions would solely benefit THEM and not YOU? Maybe you opened a door or donated blood or volunteered in a hospital’s ER during the pandemic. This is called a prosocial behavior. Humans engage in these types of behaviors all the time.
But a question remains in science: Are we the only species who do this? As one of out closest s, chimpanzees have long been studied for signs of this. So far, research has provided mixed results on the question.
Some studies show that chimps cooperatively hunt, share food and comfort each other. But one study came to a very different conclusion. The study used a controlled lab experiment where chimpanzees in enclosures were given two options: push a button to give food to themselves or push the button to give food to themselves AND a partner chimp. If they chose the latter, it was seen as a prosocial behavior. But the result is that chimps showed no special preferences for feeding themselves and a friend over feeding just themselves. Another study conducted by DeTroy, however, discovered a totally different result.
Compared to previous controlled lab-based experiments, the setup for DeTroy’s research was very naturalistic. “We installed a button and a fountain into the chimpanzees’ outer enclosures. When an individual pushes the button, it releases juice from the fountain. However, since the button and fountain are approximately five meters
apart, the individual pushing cannot directly drink from the fountain. And if any other chimpanzees are at the fountain when the button is pushed, they, and not the pusher, will be able to drink the juice.
In this experiment, chimpanzees showed a willingness to act in the interest of others, with individual chimpanzees prepared to push the button without benefiting themselves.
“It is really fascinating to see that many of the chimpanzees were willing to prosocially provide valuable resources to the group members even if they couldn’t benefit themselves from their behavior.” said DeTroy.
Further research may reveal what lies behind their prosocial motivation. But for now, it’s safe to assume that chimpanzees are not simply aping human behavior.
12. Which of the following belongs to prosocial behaviors?
A. Jack participated in voluntary work in the library just to earn credits.
B. Mark turned to his classmate for help when feeling stressful in study.
C. Tim guided a lost child back home on his way to an important job interview.
D. Rose often interrupted the teacher to ask questions actively in the math’s class.
13. What is the task of the chimpanzees in the lab-based study?
A. Sharing food.
B. Making a choice.
C. Comforting others.
D. Showing sympathy.
14. How is DeTroy’s study different from the previous ones?
A. It was based on controlled lab experiment.
B. It gave juice to the chimpanzees as a reward.
C. It offered the tested chimpanzees a natural surrounding.
D. It provided a chance for chimpanzees to help their partners.
15. What can we learn from DeTroy’s quotes?
A. Chimpanzees can develop abilities to help others.
B. Chimpanzees have acquired many human behaviors.
C. Chimpanzees in the wild is cleverer than those in the lab.
D. Chimpanzees displayed prosocial behaviors for certain rewards.
