Honeybees and flowers are two species that share a symbiotic relationship.
The honeybee helps the flower and the flower helps the honeybee. How
does this relationship work? Honeybees eat the nectar (sugary water), and
pollen (yellow protein powder) that are made by flowers. Honeybees need
the pollen to survive and grow. Since flowers bloom in the springtime, this
is the season that most bees are born. Honeybees use the nectar from
flowers to make honey. Honeybees store their honey in their hive, or
home. When there is no nectar available, bees eat the stored up honey in
their hive. In turn, flowers need honeybees too. In order to survive,
flowers need to spread their pollen. When flower pollen is spread to
another flower, the new flower can make seeds, or baby plants. This is
called pollination. When honeybees eat the pollen from a flower, they often
get pollen on their bodies. Then when they move to the next flower, some
of that pollen falls off, and the new flower has been pollinated. Because
flowers need honeybees, they come in bright colors and have a sweet smell,
which attract the honeybees. The relationship between honeybees and
flowers is a good example of symbiosis. Neither can survive without the
other.

Stunt Doubles
One of the most dangerous jobs in the film industry is the job of a stunt
double. A stunt double is a person who replaces an actor while filming
dangerous scenes in a film. For example, while filming a James Bond story,
the actor who plays James Bond will not actually participate in the car
chase, or jump off a hundred-foot cliff into the ocean below. A trained
professional, called a stunt double, will do this instead. Stunt doubles take
the place of actors when filming scenes that involve such things as gun
fights, falls from high places, scenes involving fire, explosions, and car
chases and crashes . Although being a stunt double may sound exciting,
filming a scene can be both long and exhausting. Sometimes the stunt
double has to spend hours in an uncomfortable situation, such as standing in
cold water or on top of an icy mountain. Dangerous stunts may also have to
be performed over and over again to get the right camera angles . Good
stunt doubles are professionally trained in many different activities. They
need to have basic skills in not only stage (or pretend) fighting, rock
climbing, skiing, sky diving, but also scuba diving, martial arts, high-
performance driving, and horseback riding. In recent years, more and more
stunt scenes are being created on the computer, reducing the need for
stunt doubles. But for truly realistic images, stunt doubles will always be in
demand .

A. will always be needed for some stunts
B. have been completely replaced by computer images
C. should be able to do computer work as well

For many animals in the wild, it is immediately clear whether the animal is
male or female. Dimorphism is the term to describe all the differences
between males and females of the same species. The physical differences
are the easiest to see. These differences may be in size, color, or body
structure. For example, the following are a few species with obvious
differences. The fearsome male lion has a thick mane of hair around his
head. The female lion does not. The male African elephant has large,
threatening tusks of ivory. The female does not. Masculine deer and elk
have large antlers, while feminine deer and elk do not. Also, in many
species, the male is larger than the female, although there are a few
exceptions . There are many reasons for dimorphism (different appearance)
in animals. For example, among birds, males are often more brightly
colored and flashy. On the other hand, female birds are often smaller and
plainer. This offers protection to the females when they are guarding their
nests. They are not noticeable to predators .
Some differences allow different genders to get along with each other and
live together harmoniously. For example, the male hummingbird and the
female hummingbird have beaks of different lengths. This ensures that
they do not have to compete with each other for food. They can only drink
from different kinds of flowers. The same is true for some species of
larger birds, like eagles. The female eagle has a larger beak, so she can
eat larger prey, such as rabbits, or large fish. The male, with his smaller
beak, can only eat smaller prey . So in the animal world, at least,
differences serve a very important purpose. They help species to survive
and thrive .
