25、Honeybees are great dancers, but they don’t just do it for fun. Scientists have long known that honeybees wiggle their bodies. It is their way of sharing information.

When a bee starts dancing, it steps forward. At the same time, it wiggles 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 wiggles, 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 (模仿) 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】The underlined word “ wiggle” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.

A．warm

C．move
