     For more than twenty years scientists have been seeking to understand the mystery of the "sixth sense"
of direction. By trying out ideas and solving problems one by one, they are now getting closer to one answer.
     One funny idea is that animals might have a built-in compass (指南針).
     Our earth itself is a big magnet (磁體). So a little magnetic needle that swings freely lines itself with the
big earth magnet to point north and south. When people discovered that idea about a thousand years ago and
invented the compass, it allowed sailors to navigate (航海) on ocean voyages, even under cloudy skies.
Actually the idea of the living compass came just from observing animals in nature.
     Many birds migrate twice a year between their summer homes and winter homes. Some of them fly for
thousands of kilometers and mostly at night. Experiments have shown that some birds can recognize star
patterns. But they can keep on course even under cloudy skies. How can they do that?
     A common bird that does not migrate but is great at finding its way home is the homing pigeon. Not all
pigeons can find their way home. Those that can are very good at it, and they have been widely studied.
     One interesting experiment was to attach little magnets to the birds' heads to block their magnetic sense-just
as a loud radio can keep you from hearing a call to dinner. On sunny days, that did not fool the pigeons.
Evidently they can use the sun to tell which way they are going. But on cloudy days, the pigeons with magnets
could not find their way. It was as if the magnets had blocked their magnetic sense.
     Similar experiments with the same kind of results were done with honeybees. These insects also seem to
have a special sense of direction.
     In spite of the experiments, the idea of an animal compass seemed pretty extraordinary. How would an
animal get the magnetic stuff for a compass?
     An answer came from an unexpected source. A scientist was studying bacteria that lived in the mud of
ponds and marshes. He found accidentally little rod-like bacteria that all swam together in one direction-north.
     Further study showed that each little bacterium had a chain of dense particles inside, which proved magnetic.
The bacteria had made themselves into little magnets that could line up with the earth's magnet.
     The big news was that a living thing, even a simple bacterium, can make magnetite. That led to a search to
see whether animals might have it. By using a special instrument called magnetometer, scientists were able to
find magnetite in bees and birds, and even in fish. In each animal, except for the bee, the magnetic stuff was
always in or close to the brain.
     Thus, the idea of a built-in animal compass began to seem reasonable.

選做題:請(qǐng)認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文,并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一個(gè)最恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。
(注意:每個(gè)空格只填一個(gè)單詞。)
Interviewer:
     "Marjorie Scardino, you are leading one of the top companies in the U.K., and you've been voted business
woman of the year. What qualities do you need to run a large company effectively?" 
Marjorie Scardino:
     "Well, I think different companies probably require different qualities, but for me there are only a few
simple qualities that cut across all requirements, and those are courage and imagination and empathy. And by
empathy, I mean, having the ability to put yourself in other people's positions and understand how they feel
about situations and ideas."
Interviewer:
     "Which business leaders do you admire and why?"
Marjorie Scardino:
     "I think the best business leaders are probably ones we don't know about, not the stars we read in the
newspapers. I think they're probably the ones who have had a great business idea and have seen the desired
result. So the business leaders I most admire right now are those managers in Pearson who are achieving our
goals of double-digit earnings growth."
Interviewer:
     "What do business leaders actually do?"
Marjorie Scardino:
     "My staff would probably say this was a really excellent question they ask themselves every day. I think
what they do is just what I've said the business leaders I admire do. They create a business idea, and they
see it through."
Interviewer:
     "As a leader, how do you motivate your employees?"
Marjorie Scardino:
     "I'd like to think we motivate each other. I think my job is to make sure the company has a purpose,
because I think people like to work for a company that has a reason for being, that they can identify with and
feel good about. I think that I have to communicate well with them everything that's going on and everything
I'm trying to do in a clear way. And then in return I think they inspire me to think more adventurously and to
think more carefully about how to inspire them and how to build a better business. So, it's sort of cooperation."
Interviewer:
     "Do you think leaders are born or made?"
Marjorie Scardino:
     "I think it's probably a bit of both. All human beings obviously are born with certain qualities, and certain
common features. But I've seen so many people in my life who have, using those basic qualities, re-invented
themselves several times as they've gone into new situations. You know, you're a certain kind of person when
you're in school, and your friends know who you are. And then as you grow up you go into new situations
and become somebody else. So, people who were never leaders in school become the great business leaders
of our time. So, I would have to say, mostly it's made, but you have to use what you're born with."
