Ants

Ants Look around you. See the natural world-birds that fly, animals that walk, and insects that crawl on the ground. It's all very interesting. Stop, look, and listen. If you open your eyes to nature, you will learn a lot. Look at an ant hill, for example. At first, it looks like just another pile of sand on the ground. But look closer. What do you see? Ants are amazing insects. They work hard and do not rest. That's right: ants never sleep. Now that is amazing! They are small too. But they have big brains. Each ant has about 250, 000 brain cells. That's a lot for such a small creature.

蚂蚁 看看你的周围。看看自然世界——鸟儿会飞，会走路的动物，会在地上爬行的昆虫。 这一切都很有趣。停下来，看一看，听一听。如果你睁开眼睛观察大自然，你会学到很多东西。 举个例子，看看蚁丘。一开始，它看起来只是地上的另一堆沙子。但是请仔细想想,你看到了什么? 蚂蚁是神奇的昆虫。他们努力工作，不休息。没错:蚂蚁从不睡觉。这太不可思议了! 它们也很小。但它们有很大的大脑。每只蚂蚁大约有25万个脑细胞。对这么小的生物来说，这已经够多了。

Ants are really strong too. How strong?Think about this: an ant can lift something that is 50 times its weight. And, it does this with its mouth. Ants pick up and carry really heavy things with their mouths. Wow! Oh, and there's one more thing. There are lots of ants. How many?For every human, there are more than a million ants. So, stop, look, and listen. Nature is amazing.

蚂蚁也很强壮。有多强?想想看:一只蚂蚁可以举起50倍于它自身重量的东西。它用嘴这样做。蚂蚁能用嘴叼起和搬运很重的东西。哇!哦，还有一件事。有很多蚂蚁。有多少?每一个人类对应一百万只蚂蚁。所以，停下来，看一看，听一听。自然是神奇的。
