Cathy Brennan calmly paddled her bright yellow kayak down the Potomac River.continuing her
voyage,the latest of her solo trips on major waterways.It was tough,but it allowed Brennan to let go of everything
else.empty her brain of the everyday chores and focus on the now."I'm in the moment,looking at the waves"said
Brennan
The journey is a minimalist style:sleeping bag,small tent,rain jacket,change of clothes,first aid kit,apples
and cheese sticks.When she's thirsty,she scoops water from the rivers and pumps it through a filter."I always
drink the river,"she says.Brennan loves being on the rivers,seeing the bald eagles above,deer on the banks and a
fascinating array of bugs and insects that never find their way into homes
However.every few days Brennan will find a hotel for the night where she can get a shower and eat a
cheeseburger.She'll also check in with her husband John,who has helped her select the river and research the trips
at their home."He's my virtual Sherpa with benefits,"Brennan says,laughing.She has a phone with her but rarely
calls or texts anyone.Her children usually keep track of her via the transponder that sends them her location every
10minutes or so.
Brennan knows that solo kayaking is not for everyone and she's not reckless.Brennan grew up on a lake and
was a strong swimmer and boater from an early age.When going through rough rapids,she watches the weather
carefully.She is cautious about where she camps and who is around her.She has packed up her gear and headed
back out on the river when she has felt unsafe.
Surely,she is alone on these journeys but she isn't lonely.She suggested that we all need some disconnection
from the wired world to find the wider world around us.

When you see someone take that first sip of freshly made milk tea,their face looks like pure joy.Today,
millions of people enjoy this experience.Across the world,customers flock to their favorite spots to meet with
friends and savor sips of these tasty drinks
In the early 2000s,though,milk tea was just coming on the scene.The few brands that had successfully
established themselves in the industry were dearly concerned:Would milk tea just be another fashion food?Sure,
people are enjoying it today,but would they still be in a year,or five years?And with so much new excitement for
this product,would people be able to distinguish milk tea companies?
These are the questions that Serenitea,a Manila-based milk-tea company,faced in 2014.While successfully
opening 60 stores,they found themselves in a strategic fog,which led them to research into the deep,unexplored
psychology of milk tea
Like Airbnb.Serenitea partnered with an agency,CIA Bootleg Manila(CBM).that specializes in drilling
down to the deep consumer"why".The agency conducted a series of intensive,psychological-based techniques in
its market research.Specifically,they probed the consumer's deeper,emotional connections to milk tea.including
their earliest childhood memories of milk and tea
What they found was that milk tea was a complex topic.Their research revealed that milk tea produces three
consistent psychological responses People connected to milk through the concept of nurturing ()they fondly
remembered their childhood and being cared for by their mothers.Next,consumers connected tea to its healing
properties.Respondents would recall receiving tea when they had stomachache or seeing their parents drinking

herbal tea for health reasons.Lastly,they associated milk tea itself with teenage fun:a guilty pleasure of their youth.

Scientists have long been fascinated by collective intelligence,the idea that groups can solve problems better
than individuals.Now,an interesting new study reveals some unexpected findings about group problem-solving
abilities across species.specifically comparing how ants and humans tackle complex spatial challenges
Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science designed an experiment involving both groups of longhorn
crazy ants (LCAs)and groups of humans in solving the same geometric()puzzle at different scales.These
LCAs,measuring just 3 millimeters in length,are distributed all over the world.The puzzle,known as a
"piano-movers problem",required moving a T-shaped load through a series of tight spaces and around corners.
What makes this study particularly fascinating is that both ants and humans are among the few species known to
cooperatively transport large objects in nature
第6页/共12页

The researchers found that while larger groups of ants performed significantly better than smaller groups or
individuals,the opposite was true for humans when their communication was restricted.When human groups were
not allowed to speak or use gestures and had to wear masks and sunglasses,their performance actually deteriorated
compared to individuals working alone
This finding speaks to fundamental differences in how ants and humans approach collective problem-solving.
Individual ants cannot grasp the global nature of the puzzle,but their collection translates into emergent cognitive
(abilities,in other words,they develop new problem-solving skills simply by working together.The large
ant groups maintained their direction even after encountering walls and efficiently explored their environment until
finding openings."An ant colony is actually a family.All the ants in the nest are sisters,and they have common
interests.It's a tightly organized society in which cooperation greatly outweighs competition,"explains study
co-author Prof.Ofer Feinerman."That's why an ant colony is sometimes referred to as a super-organism,sort of a
living body composed of multiple 'cells'that cooperate with one another."In contrast,human groups showed no
such enhancement of cognitive abilities
12.Why are LCAs used as subjects for experiments on collective intelligence?
A.They are widespread all over the world.
B.They can transport T-shaped stuff easily.
C.They are much stronger than other ants.
D.They have the shared behavior with humans.
13.What does the underlined word"deteriorated"in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Became worse.
B.Remained normal.
C Changed greatly.
D.Stopped suddenly.
14.How can we assess LCAs about their solving puzzles?
A.Individual intelligence matters
B.Hard work is the key to success.
C.There are more solutions than problems.
D.The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
15 What is a suitable title for the text?
A.Ant and Human Problem-Solving.
B.Ant Colonies'Team Strategies.
C.Humans'Group Work Bottlenecks.
D.Cross-Species Intelligence Secrets

reflexes,accuracy and timing.If darts,snooker and shooting are classified as sports,then perhaps esports should be
