Most people agree that honesty is a good thing．But does Mother Nature agree？Animals can't talk，but can they lie in other ways？Can they lie with their bodies and behavior？Animal experts may not call it lying，but they do agree that many animals，from birds to chimpanzees，behave dishonestly to fool other animals．Why？Dishonesty often helps them survive．
    Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals．For example，a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young．When a predator （獵食動物）gets close to its nest，the plover leads the predator away from the nest．How？It pretends to have a broken wing．The predator follows the "hurt" adult，leaving the baby birds safe in the nest．
    Another kind of bird，the scrub jay，buries its food so it always has something to eat．Scrub jays are also thieves．They watch where others bury their food and steal it．But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them．So they go back later，unbury the food，and bury it again somewhere else．
    Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work．How？They don't make nests．Instead，they gel into other birds' nests secretly．Then they lay their eggs and fly away．When the baby birds come out，their adoptive parents feed them．
    Chimpanzees，or chimps，can also be sneaky．After a fight，the losing chimp will give its hand to the other．When the winning chimp puts out its hand，too，the chimps are friendly again．But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again．
    Chimps are dishonest in other ways，too．When chimps find food that they love，such as bananas，it is natural for them to cry out．Then other chimps come running．But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food．That way，other chimps don't hear them，and they don't need to share their food．
    As children，many of us learn the saying "You can't fool Mother Nature．" But maybe you can't trust her，either．

3．New Virus Details Show Challenges for Outbreak Control At first，scientists were relieved that the new virus，COVID-19，wasn't as dangerous as those that caused SARS，Ebola or some other recent infectious diseases.（1）

.Here are some of the challenges.
   Multiplying infections
   According to the existing data，the infection rate for SARS is 3 while the ordinary flu's infection rate is about 1.1.Now，based on the first 425 confirmed COVID-19 cases，each infection led to 2.2 more infections on average.（2）

.Yet we don't know whether the new virus is weakening or is still learning what it can do.
   Varying incubation periods （潛伏期）
   Scientists estimated（估計）the average incubation period was roughly five days，but said it could last up to two weeks.（3）

.People can move away from where they got it and not even remember places where they may have been exposed.
   Spreading in stealth
   Another big worry is that one person with no symptoms can also infect others.On Thursday，scientists reported that a woman who was not ill at the time spread the virus to a man in Germany during a business trip there.（4）

.
   Testing gaps
  （5）

.At present，a few types of test kits（工具包）have been developed.But they are not accurate enough.Scientists are not sure how many false alarms or missed cases each might give at any point in time.That leaves a key gap.
   Although scientists are still faced with so many challenges，they are confident that the new virus will be put under control soon.

A.More testing equipment should be provided at once.
B.It's still a struggle to determine who is or is not infected.
C.Such a long potential incubation period can be a problem.
D.The rate is a bit lower than SARS but much higher than ordinary flu.
E.That is a very low infection rate compared with that of SARS and Ebola.
F.Then he infected several other coworkers before showing any symptoms.
G.However，new details show how challenging it could be to control this outbreak.
