Plants are boring. They just sit there photosynthesizing （光合作用） while
animals have all the fun. Right? Not so much. A new study has found that there is a long history of interactions between ants and plants. The ant and plant co-evolution （协同进化） started with ants feeding on plants and plants evolving ant-friendly features.
Plants make a number of different structures that are specific for ant use. Some plants have evolved features that persuade ants into defending them from attack from other insects and even mаmmаl?. Тhе?е ?nсludе hollow thorns that аnt? will live ?n??dе, or ехtra nесtаr (琼浆) оn lеаvе? or stems for the ants to eat. Some ants will just cheat and take the nectar and run, but some will stick around and attack anything that tries to hurt the plant. Other plants get ants to help them move their seeds around, by providing them with rich food packets attached to the seeds. The ant will pick up the seed and carry it away, eat the food packet, and leave the seed - often in a nutrient-rich area where it'll grow better, and since it's farther away from its parent, they won't have to compete for resources.
But scientists weren't sure how the evolutionary relationship between ants and plants got started. If evolution is an arms race between species developing ways to make use of their neighbors, then scientists wanted to know whether plants or ants fired the first shot. It was a chicken-and-egg question, whether things started with ants developing behaviors to take advantage of plants, or plants evolving structures to take advantage of ants.
The history of ants and plants evolving together goes back to the time of the dinosaurs, and it's not easy to tell from fossils who fired the first shot. However, it is a question of little significance. Scientists say their study maters because it provides a look at how these widespread and complex interactions evolved. 32.

Leaving a good impression can be done in different ways, from clothing to
posture, and from talking style to body language. Below are several tips for you to begin with:
●Physical appearance matters. We're visual creatures after all.
Physical appearance is the first clue one relies on to judge who we are. 36
It also means the person means something to us by dressing properly. If it is a business setting, be aware of the dress rule or culture. 37 A thumbs-up here does not mean the same elsewhere. So do the research! Details from any little areas will affect the impression on the whole.
● 38 A fake (假的) smile can potentially do more harm than good in our attempts to
leave a good impression. It is understandable that sometimes it is hard to suddenly force a smile. 39 Remember being positive plays an important part in shaping our first impression.
●Look into people’s eyes until you see the colors of their iris (虹膜).
Keeping eye contact delivers a sense of friendship to the people we interact with.
6
Consequently, they feel more connected to us and tend to be more positive toward the interaction. 40 Well, try to identify the color of the others' irises. Get it? That makes a good eye contact example.
Are these the impression we want to leave? Stop staring at the ground and look at people in the eye then!
A. What makes a quality eye contact? B. How does eye contact affect interaction? C. The requirement varies from culture to culture. D. Then at least try not to look discouraging and angry! E. Don't fake a smile, or people will doubt your sincerity.
F. Always smile while interacting with others, especially with a new friend.
G. Besides, it is a way to show respect by choosing appropriate clothes for different settings.
