Careful Reading
Para.1 a brief introduction of the bee
Q: Why is it the honey-bee that has interested scientists most?
Because of the language they use to communicate with each other.
Para.2 Pro. Karl von Frisch built special hives to study bees.
What was Professor von Frisch puzzled by?
When he placed little dishes of honey on a table, bees soon came. As soon as one bee discovered the honey, many more came to it one after another in a short time.
Para.3-4 the circle dance and the wagging dance
Can you describe how the circle dance performed? And how the wagging dance performed?
the circle dancethe circle dance
First it made a circle to the right, then to the left. It repeated these circles over and over again. Then the surrounding bees trooped behind the first dancer, copying its movements.
the wagging dance
The dancer ran in a straight line, wagging from side to side. Then it turned in a semicircle, ran straight again, and turned in another semicircle to the opposite side. It kept the “steps” over and over.
Para.5The number of wagging
dances indicates the exact distance to the feeding place.
1. What did the scientists discover?
2. What a maximum distance do the bees fly?
They discovered that the farther away the feeding station was, the slower the dance was.
Bees fly a maximum distance of 3.2 kilometres between their hive and a feeding place.
What was the remaining question for Professor von Frisch and his partners?
Para.6
The remaining question was to find out whether bees could tell each other the exact position of a feeding place.
To make a beeline for someone or something means:
Para.7.
To go quickly along a straight course for somebody or something.
Para.8 Karl von Frisch
Austrian zoologist
Karl von Frisch
won the 1973 Nobel Prize in
physiology( 生理学 ) or medi
cine. He discovered a numbe
r of pioneering breakthroug
hs in animal behavior.

Problems
Experiments
Results Conclusion
How did one bee commu-nicate the news of food to others
?
Professor von Frisch marked some bees with little dots of colour.
The marked bee performed a circle dance, and the surrounding bees copied it and left for the feeding place together.
The circle dance communi-cated the news of food.
Problems
Experiments Results Conclusion
Did the dance convey more informa-tion?
Professor von Frisch set up two feeding places, one close to the hive, the other much farther away, and marked the bees with two colors.
Bees from nearby feeding place did circling dance, while bees from the distant one did a wagging dance.
The two dances told the bees about the location of the feeding place.
Problems
Experiments Results Conclusion
How did bees tell the exact distance of the feeding place?
Zoologists moved the feeding place slowly farther, and use a stop-watch to count how many times the bees repeated the dance per minute.
The farther away the feeding station was, the slower the dance was.
The number of wagging dances per minute told the exact distance of the feeding place.
Problems
Experiments Results Conclusion
Could bees tell each other the exact position of a feeding place?
Scientists obtained more data and did more experiments.
The zoologists clarified the procedure by which bees communicate information that use to find and fetch food.
A circle dance
A wagging dance
A faster wagging dance
A slower wagging dance
Food is near.
Food is far away.
Food is closer.
Food is farther away.

To his _____________, the bee who found the

Then the bees left the hive and went to the

Some language points:
1. In order to tell the bees apart, he painted some bees with little dots of color.(para2)
tell apart: 识别 , 辨别The twins are so much alike that we can hardly tell them apart.
2. So another astonishing fact came to light.(para5)
come to light: 被人知道 ( 发现 )New facts about ancient Egypt have recently come to light.
3. make a beeline for : 走近路 , 走直路
As he spoke, he made a beeline for the door. （径直走向门口）If you want to catch up with the team, you’d better make a beeline for them. （抄近路）
