Everyone knows that light attracts insects．In ancient times, people questioned why winged insects buzzed around fire．An old saying describes this attraction as being, “like a moth to a flame” (飞蛾扑火)．However, a recent study ends the long-believed idea that insects fly towards light because they like it．Biologists at Imperial College London have reported that insects are drawn to light because it helps with their directions when they are flying．The scientists said artificial (人造的) light actually can make some insects lose their way．Jamie Theobald, co-author of the study, said all our guesses about why insects fly toward light “might have been wrong”.

The scientists planned their research in a rainforest in Costa Rica．They put artificial lights under the canopy (林冠) and surveyed the creatures’ flying behavior．Insects usually knows their directions by the moon to fly in straight lines．However, around the artificial lights, the insects became confused and made arcs (弧) and strange patterns of flight．An entomologist said: “Natural sky light helps maintain (维持) proper flight but Artificial light can produce continuous turning around the light and trap an insect.” Artificial light badly influences an insect’s ability to find a mate, things for food, and protect itself against natural enemies.

Giving directions in different places

If you ask people of different countries “Could you tell me the way to the post office？”，you will get different answers．

In Japan，people use landmarks instead of street names． For example，the Japanese will say to travelers，”Go straight down to the corner．   41    The post office is across from the bus stop．”

In Kansas，America，there are no towns or buildings within*miles． So instead of landmarks，people will tell you directions and distance． For example，people will say，”Go north two miles    42   “

People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions． They will often say，”Follow me．”   43   Sometimes if a person doesn’t know the answer to your question，he or she，like a New Yorker，might say，”Sorry，I have no idea．” But in Yucatan，Mexico，no one answers ” I don’t know”．   44    They usually give an answer，but often a wrong one． A visitor can often get lost in Yucatan!

   45   You might not understand a person’s words，but maybe you can understand his or her body language． He or she will usually point to the correct direction． Go on in that direction and you may find the post office!
