It is like a scene frm a hrrr film: a spider web is several meters wide, which is hme t thusands f spiders. And that was what Jasn G. Gldman, an animal behavir researcher, fund alng a muddy path in the Peruvian Amazn jungle—the web arched frm tree t tree, a structure cntaining t many spiders t cunt. They appeared t functin as a sciety, just like ants r bees.
Anelsimus eximius, the species Gldman met in the rainfrest, is nt the nly kind f scial spiders in the wrld, but it des cnstruct the biggest webs. Sme can reach mre than 7.6m lng and 1.5m wide. A web f that size culd cntain as many as 50,000 individual spiders.
Anelsimus eximius was first discvered mre than a century ag by a French scientist named Eugene Simn. Mre scial spiders have been discvered since. One was fund as recently as 2006.
An Anelsimus eximius clny(群体) cntains adult males and females as well as yungsters, but the majrity f spiders n the web are females. Males accunt fr nly between 5% and 22% f any clny’s ppulatin. Scial spiders wrk tgether t build, maintain and clean their webs. They wrk tgether t catch prey(猎物), and dine tgether when they trap a large feast. The females wrk tgether t care fr the yung in the clny. They feed their yungsters by vmiting(吐出) up fd fr them, just like mther birds.
Why did these spiders becme scial? Researchers have discvered three eclgical(生态的) elements that ften lead t cperative(合作的) living amng spiders.

“Regardless f scial class, race and age, men say they hate t shp,” says Zukin, City University f New Yrk scilgy prfessr. “Yet when yu ask them deeper questins, it turns ut that they like t shp. Men generally like t shp fr bks, music and hardware. But if yu ask them abut the shpping they d fr bks r music, they'll say, ‘Well, that's nt shpping. That's research.’”
In ther wrds, what men and wmen call “buying things” and hw they apprach that task are different.
Wmen will wander thrugh several 1,000­square­metre stres in search f the perfect party dress. Men will wander thrugh 100 Internet sites in search f the perfect digital camcrder. Wmen see shpping as a scial event. Men see it as a special task r a game t be wn.
“Men are frequently shpping t win,” says Ann, a marketing prfessr at Lyla University f Chicag. “They want t get the best deal. They want t get the best and latest ne and if they d that, it makes them happy. When wmen shp, they're ding it in a way that they want everybdy t be very happy,” says Ann. “They're kind f shpping fr lve.”
“Teenage girls learn t shp frm their mums and elder sisters, and they als learn t shp by examining articles in magazines like Seventeen,” Zukin says. “And althugh men's magazines such as GQ and Esquire have lng had shpping articles, it's TV that has the eye f yung male shppers,” say Ann and Zukin.
“Televisin shws are used by yung men in the same way Seventeen r Lucky is used by girls,” says Zukin, “t help make clthing and tiletry chices.”
“Of curse, there are men wh lve t shp and are prud f it,” Ann says. And that is imprtant n matter whether yu buy a car r a frying pan. All men lve t buy but dn't want t get cheated. Ann adds, “There actually are men wh are interested, fr example, in cking r shpping r chinaware r things arund the hme—they becme kind f girl magnets. Wmen like it.”
32. What can we find frm the first paragraph?
A. Men like t shp in fact. B. Men are all dishnest.
C. Men hate t shp actually. D. Men are all bk­lvers.
33. Cmpared t wmen, men usually treat shpping .
