He begar studying photography and buying cameras to fit on his microscope. He captured images of ferns, mushrooms, and trees, and learned ho
22、w to develop film. He also developed his microscopy skills so much so that he earned a doctoral degree in cellular biology and spent five years running a lab at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. But Berdan never forgot his two early passions - being immersed in nature and photographing its tiny
23、 details - and he decided to return to them. His subjects range from snowflakes to spruce （） trees. To see the latter under a microscope, Berdan collects, a small branch and wields specialized tools to shave off paper-thin slices, which he dyes red or blue. For the final images, he often uses a proc
24、ess: called focus stacking, in which similar photos with different focal planes are mixed together to achieve a more profound depth of field, and he sometimes sews photos together to create views. I investigate anything that might have possibilities, he says. And he encourages others to do the same

29、s is extremely rare. One such system involves the greater honeyguide, a small African bird that leads humans to sources of honey. Once a nest is found, the human honey hunters break into it to obtain honey and bee worms, and the birds benefit from consuming beeswax in the now-exposed honey comb. Bot
30、h the birds and the humans use specialized sounds to communicate their availability to participate in this cooperative interaction. The two areas studied by Spottiswoode and Wood are northern Mozambique, where the honey hunters are from the Yao cultural group, and northern Tanzania, where the honey
31、hunters are from the Hadza culture. The Yao communicate with honeyguides using a short and high-pitched sound followed by a low sound brrrrhm, whereas the Hadza use a melodic whistle. Thus, signal and response both vary geographically. Spotiswoode and Wood propose that the geographic variation they
32、have identified in this mutualism is the product of cultural codevelopment. To qualify as cultural, the cooperative behaviors would have to be acquired through social learning from individuals of the same species. Social learning, however, is less of a given on the honeyguide side. Instead, what is
33、required of honeyguides is another form of vocal learning - comprehension learning in which the meaning of a signal is learned. Comprehension learning is common in birds. Whether social learning is involved, however, is not so, obvious. Honeyguides put in considerable effort helping their human part

In some human cultures, honey hunters purposefully leave out honeycomb to reward honeyeaters, but in others the hunters. go, to great length to deny the birds any reward, by collecting, burying, or burning any honeycomb expose
35、d when they destroy a nest. The reason given for these acts is that keeping the birds hungry causes them to continue guiding. A promising question for future research is whether geographic differences in human cultural preferences for rewarding or not rewarding honeyguides affect the preferences of
36、individual birds for guiding versus taking advantage of the guiding of others. 28. What is the purpose of mentioning the two areas in Paragraph 2?A. To show that honey hunting is very popular in their culture. B. To explain that communication methods differ in geography. C. To illustrate the differe

B. To make them keep providing help. C. To cause them to burn honeycomb. D. To use the honeycomb themsel

Honeyguides have a genetic tendency to guide humans for honey. C. Humans and honeyguides have a mutually beneficial relationship. D. Human honey
