When the first white men came to America, they found natural resources of tremendous value. Forests
cover a large part of the nation, later gas, oil and minerals were found in unbelievable amounts. There was
a great abundance of very fertile soil. Forests, prairies, streams and rivers abounded with wildlife. So vast
were these resources that it seemed that they could never be used up. So forests were destroyed to make
way for farmland. Grassland and prairies were plowed and harrowed. Minerals and oil were used in great
quantities to supply a young industrial nation. Almost every river became the scene of factories, mills and
power companies. Mammals and birds were slaughtered for food and sport.
Within a short time, the results were obvious. Floods caused millions of dollars worth of damage
yearly. The very fertile soil washed away or blew up in great clouds. The seemingly inexhaustible oil and
minerals showed signs of depletion. Rivers were filled with silt from eroding farms and wastes from
factories. Many of the rivers were made unfit for fish. Several species of birds disappeared, and some
mammals seemed on the verge of going. Future timber shortages were predicted. In short, Americans

Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember past events, anticipate future ones,
make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are cautious
about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing.
Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions
entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior:
Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern.
The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun’s position in the sky, and
the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the
ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study,
when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent
father from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear
next. When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting
for their food. No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce,
could have inferred the location of the new site.
Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter who
uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment
as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young
how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells
containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips
and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the
one with the higher total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use
numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums.
60.What did researchers discover in the study of honeybees discussed in paragraph 2?
Bees are able to travel at greater speeds than scientists thought.
The bees were able to determine in advance where scientists would place their food.
Changing the location of food caused bees to decrease their dance activity.
The bees could travel 25% farther than scientists expected.

To show that animals are very good at using objects in their habitat.
To provide an example of the use of weapons among animals.
