When a bee starts dancing,it steps forward.At the same time,it moves side to side.It keeps doing this while it moves around.They dance just like number eight and scientists call this the "waggle dance".It helps other bees find food.The bee's position tells them which way to fly.The more a bee moves,the farther away the food is.The longer it repeats these moves,the tastier the food is. Now a new study shows that honeybees don't have these dance skills when they are born. Young bees learn them by watching the older bees.In March 2023,scientists from the University of California,San Diego,wrote these findings in a scientific magazine. The study finds that bees can learn by imitating (each other.This is called "social learning".Many animals learn in this way,like monkeys and birds,but most of these animals have bigger brains.Bees have much smaller brains, To know how bees learn the waggle dance,scientists recorded videos of honeybees in a lab. They compared two groups of young bees which were 10 days old.In the first group,young bees could watch older ones dance.In the second group,young bees could not watch older dancers. They found that the ones in Group 1 were better dancers while the ones in Group 2 were not good at the waggle dance 1.Which picture can best describe the underlined words "waggle dance"?

Team member Lu Jinyan said his most impressive(印象深刻的)interview was with a photographer(摄影师).“I used to think being a photographer was cool..But now I know that they need to deal with lots of problems,such as a sudden change of weather or broken cameras.They also need to communicate (with different people,which is very hard." But the project doesn't mean disappointing students by telling them the truth."We want to show their good sides rather than the bad sides,"said group member Zhao Yajie."The project's name means turning a career into a poem.We believe working is not just about bread and butter.It should be like a poem,full of love and beauty.And we hope our project can let students know that." 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 .4.How does the writer start the text?
