　　Elephants that destroy crops and damage trees are a serious problem in many parts of Africa. But there could be a simple and relatively safe way to stop them in their tracks, by employing the talents of the tiny African honeybee. The number of elephants in Kenya has risen over the past decade, with some disastrous results. Not only do these huge animals attack local farms, but they trample someone to death an average of once every two weeks, fuelling calls for the beasts to be killed. Now a biologist has discovered a possible deterrent(威懾): the elephants are extremely careful of trees that house honeybee hives.

　　“I am puzzled why nobody has thought of this before,” says Fritz Vollrath at the university of Oxford.“When an elephant knocks a beehive, they run and the bees will follow them for miles.” He says that placing hives of the honeybee strategically around local farms could be an effective way to deter the animals. Vollrath put 30 unoccupied and 6 occupied beehives in some of the trees growing a hectare of bush frequently damaged by elephants on Laikipia Plateau in Kenya. On average the elephants attacked 9 out of 10 trees that didn't have hives, severely damaging a quarter. But they steered clear of all six trees with empty hives, suggesting that some had learnt not to take the risk.

　　The bees deter elephants by stinging vulnerable(易受攻擊的) areas such as the eyes, belly, behind the ears and under the trunk. People could be at risk from the bees, admits Vollrath, but that may be outweighed by the risk of being killed by an elephant. Preliminary(初步的) experiments by Vollrath show that elephants also avoid the sound of angry bees played from loudspeakers.

1．What is NOT a disastrous result of the numerous elephants?

[　　]

A．Local farms are attacked and destroyed by the elephant.

B．The elephants often walk on persons and cause them to death.

C．The number of the bees is increasing rapidly.

2．The underlined phrase “steered clear of” can be replaced by ________.

[　　]

A．a(chǎn)ttacked
B．kept away from
C．feared
D．cut down

3．We can infer that ________.

[　　]

A．African people are very afraid of elephants

B．bees can be used to drive away large elephants

C．bees don't sting people in Africa

D．sounds of bees played from loudspeaker can also frighten large elephants away

4．Which of the following is NOT true?

[　　]

A．Bees and elephants often attack each other.

B．The trunk of an elephant is seldom stung by the bees.

C．The elephant dare not go near the beehives.

D．We should deter elephants instead of killing them.

If you won $50000000 would you still go to college?

Lots of people go to college so they have a chance to get a better job, but if you won $50 million, would you still pursue a higher education?

Re: If you won $50000000 would u still go to college?

I would definitely still go to college if I had that much money, but I would not be competing for a scholarship on collegenet.com．I would probably still discuss things here and I would create other scholarships to help other people to go to college as well.

    With $50 million, I would not have to worry about getting a loan from Chase bank or finding scholarships to study abroad．I would have published several books by now as well, but I would still pursue my education．Going to undergraduate school is something that I really want to do because I want to become a Pediatrician．Money may buy a lot of things, but it does not necessarily give you knowledge and knowledge is what I am currently in pursuit of．

    I am not just going to school to get a better job; I am going to school to fulfill all of my dreams．$50 million is a lot of money, but no amount of money can deter me from my goals.

Re: If you won $50000000 would you still go to college?

I would still go to college．The only difference is with that much money to go to college I probably would stay in college longer and pursue a few extra degrees while I am there．I am looking for knowledge not money．The only problem is I need money to pursue knowledge, well at least accredited knowledge.
