In order to protect valuable energy, snails(蝸牛) basically play a game of follow-the-leader, a new study finds. Snails create trails of mucus(黏液) to help them move smoothly across the ground, mainly in search of food or a partner, but making all that mucus uses up a lot of energy.
“Snails use a lot of energy, probably a third, creating mucus,” said Mark Davies of the University of Sunderland, lead author of the study published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society. “This process is very tiring indeed— much more so than walking, swimming or flying.”
Davies and his workmates studied marine snails off the coast of Britain and discovered that to save some of this important energy, the snails sometimes follow the existing mucus trails laid down by other snails to get around and so only have to create a small part of the mucus needed to make a new trail.
“The fact that they can make savings has an effect on as much as they have to save more energy to do other things like reproducing,” Davies said.
The energy saving may also help snails which live in environments where food is not enough, making the energy harder to replace.
Biologists had long guessed that snails behaved this way, but this is the first study to directly observe it. Davies said that it is likely that all snails use this means of cutting energy as they work hard through life.

For many employers, Facebook, MySpace and other social networking sites are already a threat （威脅） that cut into productivity．Now they have something else to worry about—the games hosted by these sites．
This new type of social gaming is called "asynchronous" gaming and allows people to play with their friends without having to be online at the same time．The low-intensity （低強度） engagement has made games such as FarmVille, Cafe World and Pet Society popular among employees who often log on during office hours．
"What we are seeing is that more and more people and organizations are recognizing the productivity lost so probably more chief information officers are blocking Facebook applications," Rebecca Wettemann of Nucleus Research said．
Boston-based Nucleus Research, which conducted a recent study into the effects of social networking sites on productivity, said nearly half of office employees in the United States access social networking sites at work, which leads to an average loss of 1．5 percent of total office productivity．
Facebook, which has 350 million users, says at least 20 percent of its members play games online．Sebastien de Halleux, CEO and co-founder of online game creator Playfish, said Asia is growing at a faster pace than other regions．"We had no idea that it would spread so fast．．．when we had 100,000 users after one month, we thought it was the biggest success ever．Now with 60 million users we think this is only the beginning of something much bigger," he added．
Zynga's FarmVille, the best known game with over 70 million active users to date, allows players to own a virtual farm where they can grow crops and raise animals．
While companies try to limit access to social networking sites, not everyone sees the games as harmful．

B．Playfish has over 70 million active users to date
C．Asia will be the largest potential market for Playfish
D．Playing online games loses 1．5 percent of total office productivity
63．The best title of the passage would be ____．
A．Social Network Gaming B．New Threat to Productivity

64．What would most probably be discussed next after the last paragraph?
A．Opinions in favor of online games．
B．Measures to limit access to social networking sites．
C．Suggestions on how to improve productivity．
D．More examples about the bad effects of online games．
