1、Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction.
A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert (沙漠), so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It's like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest.
Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area.
Some animals can sense the earth's magnetic field (磁场), while humans can't. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet.
However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.

2、When I was in Grade Eight, our physics (物理) teacher gave us a challenge to make a paper plane of any shape. The only goal was to get it to fly as far as possible. I had a lot of skills in making paper planes, so I made the best plane I could, and it flew pretty far.
One boy called Eric made the simplest paper plane. He stood there at the starting line with a normal piece of paper. A minute later, he took the flat piece of paper, made it into a ball, and threw it down the hallway. We were so surprised at what he did. We never expected things to happen like that. He beat all of us easily.
Some of the students got angry and Mary even said that he cheated.
The physics teacher said, "How so? He doesn't do anything wrong because a paper ball is indeed (确实) a shape. I like his idea."
Yes, Eric didn't cheat. He just finished the task in a different way. In our life, what we have learned turns into our experience. We do everything according to it. However, our experience gets in the way of our development sometimes.It stops us from coming up with new ideas and is bad for our creativity. So it is really necessary for us to learn to think outside of the "box". Then we may think of more and easier ways so that we can have a better result. Just like Eric in the story, we should think creatively.
(1)、What's the challenge in physics class?A、Have a final physics test. B、Give a report about paper planes. C、Make a paper plane of any shape. D、Learn skills in making paper planes.(2)、Who was the winner of the challenge?A、The teacher. B、The writer. C、Mary. D、Eric.(3)、What did the teacher think of Eric?A、Helpful. B、Dishonest. C、Truthful.

D、Useful skills.(5)、What is the text mainly about?A、The meaning of life. B、The ways of thinking. C、The advantages of experience. D、The importance of challenge. -
