Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people and many animals like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper - a little bird called a honey guide.
The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey and the wax always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.
Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined(坚定的) in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.

小题1:B
小题2:C
小题3:A
小题4:D
题目分析：小题1:B 细节题。根据第一段3,4行Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them.说明B正确。
小题2:C 推理题。根据本句When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches.句中的they就是指上文的passing animals and people，the follower在耐心的等待吃wax，故the follower就是指喜欢wax的这种鸟。故C正确。
小题3:A 推理题。这种鸟自己并不能从蜂巢里获得wax，它要借助于人或者动物，取走蜂蜜以后剩下的wax 就被它们吃掉，说明它们的获得食物的方法与众不同。故A正确。
小题4:D 主旨大意题。文章介绍了这种非常喜欢wax，且能帮助人们获得蜂蜜的小鸟。故D正确
