That is the fascinating conclusion of the latest research into fish behavior by a team of Australian scienti
26、sts.The research team have discovered that subordinate fish voluntarily diet to avoid challenging their larger competitors. “In studying gobies we noticed that only the largest two individuals, a male and female, had breeding(繁殖) rights within the group, ”explains Marian Wong. “All other group membe
27、rs are nonbreeding females, each being 510% smaller than its next largest competitor. We wanted to find out how they maintain this precise size separation.”The reason for the size difference was easy to see. Once a subordinate fish grows to within 510% of the size of its larger competitor, it causes
28、 a fight which usually ends in the smaller goby being driven away from the group. More often than not, the evicted fish is then eaten up.It appeared that the smaller fish were keeping themselves small in order to avoid challenging the boss fish. Whether they did so voluntarily, by restraining how mu
29、ch they ate, was not clear. The research team decided to do an experiment. They tried to fatten up some of the subordinate gobies to see what happened. To their surprise, the gobies simply refused the extra food they were offered, clearly preferring to remain small and avoid fights, over having a fe
30、ast.The discovery challenges the traditional scientific view of how boss individuals keep their position in a group. Previously it was thought that large individuals simply used their weight and size to threaten their subordinates and take more of the food for themselves, so keeping their competitor
31、s small.While the habits of gobies may seem a little mysterious, Dr.Wang explains that understanding the relationships between boss and subordinate animals is important to understanding how hierarchical (等级的) societies remain stable.The research has proved the fact that voluntary dieting is a habit
32、far from exclusive to humans. “As yet, we lack a complete understanding of how widespread the voluntary reduction of food intake is in nature,” the researchers comment. “Data on human dieting suggests that, while humans generally diet to improve health or increase attractiveness, rarely does it impr
33、ove long term health and males regularly prefer females that are fatter than the females own ideal.”56. When a goby grows to within510% of the size of its larger competitor, it_.A. faces danger B. has breeding rights C. eats its competitor D. leaves the group itself57. The underlined words “the evic
34、ted fish” in Paragraph 3 refer to _.A. the fish beaten up B. the fish found outC. the fish fattened up D. the fish driven away58. The experiment showed that the smaller fish_.A. fought over a feast B. went on diet willinglyC. preferred some extra food D. challenged the boss fish59. What is the text

Fish dietingBForeign drivers will have to pay on-the-spot fines of up to 900 for breaking the traffic law to be carried out next month.If they do not have enough cash or a working credit card, their vehicles
36、will be clamped (扣留)until they pay and they will face an additional fee of 80 for getting back their vehicles.The law will also apply to British citizens. The fines will be described officially as “deposits” when the traffic law takes effect, because the money would be returned if the driver went to
37、 court and was found not guilty. In practice, very few foreign drivers are likely to return to Britain to deal with their cases.Foreign drivers are rarely charged because police cannot take action against them if they fail to appear in court. Instead, officers often merely give warnings.Three millio
38、n foreign-registered vehicles enter Britain each year. Polish vehicles make up 36 percent, French vehicles 10 percent and German vehicles 9 percent.Foreign vehicles are 30 percent more likely to be in a crash than British registered vehicles. The number of crashes caused by foreign vehicles rose by
39、47 percent between 2003 and 2008. There were almost 400 deaths and serious injuries and 3,000 slight injuries from accidents caused by foreign vehicles in 2008.The new law is partly intended to settle the problem of foreign lorry drivers ignoring limits on weight and hours at the wheel. Foreign lorr
40、ies are three times more likely to be in a crash than British lorries. Recent spot checks found that three quarters of lorries that failed safety tests were registered overseas.The standard deposit for a careless driving offence such as driving too close to the vehicle in front or reading a map at t

45、m Sony Picture, 2012, arrives in theaters on Friday, with a 200 million dollar production about the end of the world supposedly based on myths (虚构的故事) backed by the Mayan calendar. It is claimed that the end of time will come as a Planet X or Nibiru heads toward or collides with the Earth.Some websites accuse NASA of hiding the truth on the planet s existence, but the US space agency denounced such stories as an “Internet hoax(恶作剧) ”. “There is n
