And there's no silver bullet remedy (灵丹妙药), of course, but the most available solution seems to be finding out a way to (9)       microbial disease. That's where the bee vaccine(接种疫苗)comes.
　　Like most of the animals, as well as humans, vaccines work through inspiriting the body to make antibodies(抗体)against a (10)       disease. But bees don't make antibodies, scientists have thought vaccinating them would be (11)       , but a 2015 study discovered that bees can get the ability of making antibodies through vitellogenin(卵黄蛋白元)in their eggs.
　　Vaccinating a bee wouldn't help that bee, (12)       if you vaccinate the queen of bees, she can (13)       the ability on to her children and grandchildren through her eggs. The new vaccine will treat for American foulbrood (AFB), a very dangerous disease that makes (14)       of bees quickly. The queen bee can (15)       the medicine in a little sugar water and pass it along to her children. And then her children will not get AFB during their lives. They get the antibodies against the disease.

12．　　When researchers study some animals in the wild, it usually means a human has to get close to them to collect information. However, people make animals nervous. When human researchers are around, animals don't act as usual.
　　A team of researchers from France wanted to find a way to study penguins (企鹅) without changing their natural behavior. They did an experiment.
　　First, they put some small monitors (监测仪) on a group of penguins. These monitors could record how fast their hearts beat. They found when a penguin felt nervous, its heart beat faster. Then they sent a small, remote-controlled (遥控的) robot to the penguins. The robot could read information from the monitors and send it back to the researchers. When the robot got close to the penguins, some of them felt nervous and tried to run away. However, the researchers found that the penguins' hearts didn't beat as fast as they did when a human got close to them. The feeling of being nervous also went away more quickly.
　　Finally, the researchers gave the robot black arms and a black and white face. When they sent it back to the penguins, they did not run away from it. Some of the penguins even treated it as if it was a real baby penguin.
　　With the help of this robot, now researchers are able to collect information about penguins without changing the way they behave. What's more, they are able to collect five times more information than they did in the past.

13．　　The men of influence in our lives are our fathers, brothers, grandfathers, uncles, and friends. They play an important role in our lives. They set an example to teach us how to walk through the world. They tell us how to be strong when we're in trouble, and how to support our families by ourselves.
　　My dad taught me how to have fun like playing baseball in the middle of the street. Today my dad continues to influence me in a positive way. In the past few months, he has faced a challenging health problem. His lifestyle is basically the same as that before his illness, going about his daily business a bit slower and needing to take more rests, but he still lives the life he wants.
　　My grandfather taught me the value of being trusted. My father-in-law influenced my life in a different way. He was quiet, loyal, loving and a man of authority (权威). I learned to listen to others carefully from him.
　　My loving husband has encouraged me to be adamant and independent. My husband has also taught me to face the ever-changing society bravely.
　　 _________. For all that I have learned and for the role they played and continue to play in my life I am forever grateful. I would like to wish all the men of the world a Happy Father's Day.

14．　　If you want to learn about local art or music, you might go to an art fair or a concert. But there are some people who like to share local creative culture in a different way. They produce collections of stories, photos and illustrations (插图) that are called "zines".
　　Hole in the Wall is a zine about creative subculture (亚文化). Artists, writers, musicians and others are welcomed to share their stories in its pages. It's made by Shuilam Wong, 27, from Hong King and Jinna Kaneko, 27, from Tokyo.
　　"Generally speaking, we'll come up with a theme and idea, then we'll put together existing (现有的) illustrations, and find people and places to draw and interview," Wong said. After the drawings and interviews are done, they designed (设计)the zine in a software program called InDesign before printing it out.
　　Wong and Kaneko were high school classmates in Beijing. After studying art in other countries, they decided to create their own art project. Wong was introduced to indie (独立制作的) zines in London, while Kaneko learned about zine culture in California's Bay Area. After meeting in Beijing, they made their first zine, which was hand-stitched (手工装订) together.
　　Nowadays more and more people record what's happening in a special subculture and stories of people's lives. They hope that readers can also be inspired to do creative things through other people's history and process of becoming an artist, musician and dancer.

15．　　Chinese astronauts gave a science lesson from the Tiangong space station to millions of students on Dec 9, 2021. The three astronauts, Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu, showed life in space and did experiments in microgravity (微重力). It was the first lesson of the Tiangong Class, China's first extraterrestrial (地球外的) lesson series and it aims to make space science popular.
　　In the lesson, Ye did experiments which is about cell (细胞) growth in a weightless environment. He compared the growth and shape of cells in artificial gravity (人造重力) and zero-gravity to study their changing rules and mechanisms (机制) in space. This was not the first time that China has tried to grow plants in space. As early as 2016, Chinese scientists grew rice on the Tiangong Ⅱ space lab to study how plants grow without an Earth-like environment.
　　Another experiment in the space lesson was shown by Wang Yaping. She showed how a paper flower "bloomed" on the surface of water in Tiangong space station, she explained that the surface tension (张力) of water is increased in space because of zero gravity;One of the examples of surface tension on Earth is that some insects can "walk" on water. They use surface tension to "stand" instead of falling through water.
　　Surface tension plays a key role in product development. Researchers around the world are measuring surface tension to improve the quality of their products. Paints are cut to stick better on the surfaces they are applied to. Surface tension also has influence in drug development.

　　Many schools today have gardens. School gardens are planted by students and teachers. Whether the garden is large or small, the students and school that care for the plants have a valuable experience.
　　(1)       For example, math teachers can take their students out to the garden to measure the heights of different plants. Science teachers can use a school garden to help students learn how plants grow. Art teachers can ask students to create signs for each type of plant in the garden. The education possibilities are endless.
　　There are just as many benefits (好处) for the students who work in the school gardens. (2)       By being in charge of a section, they learn how to care for their plants.
