18、Mary University report that bumblebees seem to know the same thing, making bumblebees the first insects known to play.When people talk about “play”, theyre describing an animal doing something that doesnt really seem to help it. Theyre not doing the action to get food or shelter or another similar “
19、reward”. Play usually happens when a creature is relaxed and is often repeated.However, scientists think many animals and birds playing is a kind of training for things theyll have to deal with in later life. But before this, there were no reports of insects playing.Scientists at Dr. Chittkas lab, c
20、arried out an experiment. First, they tagged (贴标签) 45 young bumblebees, both male and female, between 1 and 23 days old. The tags made the bees easier to identify and follow.The scientists set up a clear pathway from the bumblebees nest to a feeding area. On either side of the open pathway, the rese
21、archers placed small colored wooden balls. On one side of the path, the balls were attached and couldnt move. On the other side, the balls could roll around. It turned out that the bumblebees werent interested in the unmovable balls, but they made lots of visits to the rolling balls.Grabbing the bal
22、ls with their legs, the bees would flap (拍打) their wings to pull on the balls, causing them to roll. The 45 tagged bumblebees rolled balls 910 times during theexperiment. Though some only did it once, others did it a lot. The younger bumblebees spent more time rolling balls. Males seemed more likely
23、 to play than females.“Its not clear why the bees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects minds work and whether they have feelings. With further research, the future will hold surprises and answers in store for us,” said Dr. Chittk

Critical.CDrone hobbyists will be required to register their aircraft with the government or face unspecified penalties (处罚), the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced a new law on Monday.The
27、move is an attempt to prevent drones endangering air safety, as the number of complaints about errant (偏离的) flyers has skyrocketed in recent months, the FAA said.“We are certainly seeing a significant increase in reports,” Huerta, administrator of the FAA, said. “Clearly, this is an industry that is
28、 taking off. And there are a lot of activities taking place in the national airspace system.”Drones are taking to the skies in groups, and the number of tiny flyers is expected to multiply in the coming years. Amazon and Google aim to use drones to deliver commercial goods in the next decade. Alread
29、y this year, pilots and others have reported 100 complaints about drones a month, roughly double the rate of complaints in 2021, the FAA said. Many of those complaints are about close calls, in which drones narrowly miss other aircraft.The FAA bars people from flying drones within 5 miles of an airp
30、ort, or higher than 400 feet above the ground. But increasingly, drone pilots are breaking those rules. In August, for instance, two airplanes landing at Kennedy International Airport came within 100 feet of a drone flying at a height of roughly 800 feet. When such drones violate (侵犯) airspace, the
31、government currently has no way to locate their operators.The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the FAA are working out the details, but right now, the new registry wouldnt require drones to carry trackers. And it wouldnt institute a policy of “geofencing”, which involves creating mar
32、ked-off safe spaces where drones would automatically be deactivated.“Unless a drone crashes, it could be difficult to identify tiny flyers from sight alone. But our biggest challenge so far has not been identifying the drone itself. Its been connecting it back to the person whos using it,” said Foxx

36、edwood.Andre is a registered professional forester in California. Before his testification, foresters from Redwood National and State Parks in northern California were deep into a months-long investigation of burl poaching (树瘤偷猎). Burls, the bark covered growths that can stick out from a trees trunk
37、, produce a wood thats valued for its unique grain and smooth workability. Because of their beauty and relative rarity, old-growth burls fetch very high prices and are eventually turned into tables and bowls, or carved into statues.Burl poaching is an ongoing concern in northern Californias parks.

When someone poaches a burl from one of these ancient trees, it leaves the tree with structural damage that can kill it, and makes it mo
39、re subject to disease.When poaching cases are brought to trial, judges are tasked with arguing for a punishment that takes a trees worth into account. The reliance on a purely market-based fine is gradually falling from favor. Judges have started arguing more forcefully for valuation that considers
40、the forest as a complex ecosystem, within which old-growth is just a single, yet crucial, element. Its a shift from the easily quantifiable toward a multi-aspect consideration of worth. The gravity of poaching is most felt, not simply the loss of a marketable resource. The new strategy is partly due
41、 to the surprisingly low fines for poachers, usually based on that weeks wood market data.Finally, the judges handed down two years probation (缓刑), community service hours and a $1,200 fine to the poacher. Although judges and foresters continue to argue for expanding definitions of “worth”, poaching

The commercial profits from burls.D. The burls fast reproduction ability.33. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us?A. Wher
