27、Human beings are not alone in having invented vaccination, while honeybees got there first and they can run what look like vaccination programmes, which has been confirmed by Gyan Harwood of the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

Queen bees vaccinate their eggs before they are laid. But the question is how the queen receives her antigen supply, for she lives purely on royal jelly, a substance secreted by nurse bees when they are in the life stage of feeding the young. Dr Harwood wondered if the nurses combined the royal jelly they produced with pieces from pathogens they had consumed while eating something brought in from outside.

To test this idea, they collected about 150 nurse bees and divided them among six queenless mini hives equipped with the young to look after. They fed the nurses on sugar-water, and for three of the hives they added Paenibacillus larvae, a bacterium causing a disease, to sugar-water.

Dr Harwood and Dr Salmela labeled the bacteria with a certain dye, to make them easy to track. And, sure enough, microscope confirmed that Paenibacillus larvae were getting into royal jelly secreted by those bees which had been fed with the sugar-water. Moreover, examination of this royal jelly revealed higher levels of defensive substance, compared with royal jelly from bees that had not been mixed with Paenibacillus larvae. This substance is thought to help bee immune systems fight against bacterial infections.

All told, these findings suggest that nurse bees are indeed, via their royal jelly, passing antigens on to the queen, then into eggs. They also mean, because the young receive royal jelly for the first few days after they hatch, the nurses are giving the young the second antigens. Each young bee is therefore being vaccinated twice.

【1】What puzzled Dr Harwood from paragraph 2?

A．What the royal jelly consists of.

B．Where nurse bees receive pathogens.

C．How the antigen come into the queen bees' bodies.

D．Whether honeybees run vaccination earlier than man.

【2】How did Dr Harwood develop his experiment?

A．By dividing bees into different roles.

B．By keeping track of the special bacterium.

C．By changing the components of royal jelly.

D．By observing nurse bees' different behaviors.

【3】What can we infer according to the results of the experiment?

A．Nurse bees are the key to vaccination for bee group.

B．The nurse bees pass the antigen only to the queen.

C．Bacteria-used royal jelly has fewer defense substances.

D．Two vaccinations are given to young bees by caregivers directly.

【4】Where is the text probably taken from?

A．A pet guide.

B．A social website.

C．An official document.

D．A medical magazine.

28、With summer holidays approaching, it’s time to talk about packing. 【1】 Luggage restrictions and a lack of storage space make organizing everything required for your trip away awfully tricky. But there’s a solution to simplifying your suitcase without having to compromise on style. It’s not about packing light; it’s about packing smart. 【2】

● Consider upgrading your luggage. 【3】 And a worn suitcase isn’t going to do the trick. Look for a stylish case with built-in compartments for underwear, socks and laundry.

● 【4】 Make a list in the Notes ape of your phone. When planning your outfits(服装), think what and where. Consider what you’ll likely be doing each day and pack accordingly. For example, a day of walking and exploring requires comfortable footwear. A fancy dinner at a nice restaurant, on the other hand, may need a more elevated look.

● Pack items based on the fact that they will work with others. For example, wide-legged trousers are perfect for both daytime adventures and evening drinks with a simple change of shoes. 【5】 .

● Put your best foot forward when packing shoes. Wear your chunkiest(厚重的) pair of shoes while travelling to cut down on wasting much-needed space in your case. And, a ratio of one pair to every three or so outfits should be enough.

A．It’s an often difficult task.

29、Should schools report a student’s health to parents?

As if grades weren’t enough to worry about, some students now have weight on their minds too. The number of overweight children in the United States has more than doubled in the past 20 years, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 【1】

As a result, schools in several states, from California to Pennsylvania, have started sending home "BMI report cards". Those schools send home a report of a student’s body mass index (BMI). BMI is a calculation of weight and height that tells whether a person is overweight for his or her age.

【2】 People on both sides of the debate are weighing in.

Some lawmakers say BMI reports warn parents of their children s health problem help fight against obesity. In 2003, former Arkansas Governor. Mike Huckabee helped launch the first program to report students’ BMI.   【3】 Pechatrician Joe Thompson helped plan the BMI program for Arkansas schools. He explains that the reports in Arkansas are sent home separately from report cards. “The misconception is that students are being graded on their weight,” he told WR News, “Just like a school screen for vision or hearing, this is a health approach to raise awareness about a risk.”

【4】 Parents have complained that the reports damage their children’s self-respect. Some parents say kids also worry that they are being “graded” on their weight.   【5】 They point out that many school cafeterias serve tasty foods. Parent Brett Levy from Chicago, Illinois, believes that schools should teach kids to lead healthy lifestyles instead of reporting their BMIS. “Telling a boy or girl a BMI is not education,” he told WR News. “It’s a fear strategy.”

A．Should schools send home BMI reports?

B．Obesity rates in that state have since stopped increasing.

C．Since then children with heart disease have received the reports.

D．Not everyone thinks that reporting students’ BMI is a good idea.

E．Schools agree that more activities are required for students to control weight.

F．Being obese, or severely overweight, can lead to health problems later in life.

G．Some people argue that schools that label students overweight are acting unfairly.
