Can you say the meaning of "Zero"? Can you do addition and subtraction (加减法)？ Most people can. But do you know bees can do these things too? A study shows that bees have even greater math abilities. After some training, they can know the difference between even numbers (ending in 0, 2,4, 6 and 8) and odd numbers (ending in 1,3, 5, 7 and 9).

Some Australian scientists put up different cards with an odd or even number of triangles (三角形). They used the numbers 1 to 10. Then they trained the first group of bees to choose odd numbers and the second group to choose even numbers. If a bee flew to the right card, it would get sugar water. If it chose the wrong card, it got bitter (苦的) water.

In a short time, all the bees knew what odd numbers or even numbers were. They could fly to the right numbers 80% of the time. After that, the scientists added new cards with the numbers 11 and 12. The bees never saw the numbers in their training before, but they could choose rightly 70% of the time. Surprisingly, the bees even learned odd numbers more quickly than people.

How did the bees learn the numbers so fast? Scientists didn't have a clear idea. But they believe if they find the answer, it will help them build better and faster computers. After all, a bee's brain is  about 86,000 times smaller than ours!

38. How does the passage start?

B. By giving examples.

C. By asking questions.

D. By using pictures.
