2- Read the following passage, then answer the questions :
There are more ants than any other kind of land animal in the
world. A million ants can live in a few trees, and there" may be a
quarter of a million in one colony. The total weight of all the ants
in the world is far greater than that of all the human beings.
Human beings are extremely interested in the study of ants. The
more we study them, the more they seem to be like ourselves.
Ants live in societies in which they depend on one another. The
societies are not all exactly the same. There are differences
because there are ants of many kinds. But in general, each kind
has ants of three main types: queens, males, and workers. The
queen has wings for a time and one day she flies away with a
winged male. The male dies soon afterwards, but the queen
without wings, finds a good place for her new nest and begins to
lay eggs there. Worker ants will feed her and protect the eggs, and
they will build as big and as safe a home as they can. The ants
have many enemies. They include birds, bears, and ant-eaters of
various kinds. In some cases, other ants are their worst enemies,
just as man's worst enemy is man. In some parts of the world the
red ants march in large armies to attack the homes of black ants.
