Plastic is piling up in ecosystems all over the world. Although its harmful impacts on both species and
ecosystems have been documented, a few animals—like bowerbirds and hermit crabs—are doing what they can to
recycle it. And according to a recent study, wild bees in Canada have joined the effort, which is a rare observation
of behavioral flexibility in species especially insects, in increasingly plastic-rich environments.
The researchers found two species of leafcutter bees putting plastic into their nests. One of the bees they
studied, the alfalfa leafcutter bee, normally bites off pieces of leaves and flowers while the second bee gathers
sticky substances from trees. Leafcutter bees don't build big nests or store honey like honeybees, choosing instead
small nests in underground holes, tree holes or cracks（裂缝）in buildings. But the researchers found that three of
eight brood cells（育雏巢室）contained pieces of plastic bags, replacing 23 percent of the cut leaves in each cell on
average.
While they don't make honey,alfalfa leafcutter bees still make money for theU. S. and Canadian farmers by
pollinating（给......传授花粉）crops including alfalfa , carrots and melons. The European insects were introduced to
North America in the 1930s for that purpose, and they've since become wild, joining the continent's many native
species of leafcutter bees.
In a separate study conducted in Argentina between 2017 and 2018, researchers found a bee nest made
entirely of plastic, which consisted of three separate cells. It's the first known example of such construction
worldwide. Compared to the other nests the researchers examined, which were made of natural materials, this
one had a pretty lower success rate of the bees' survival. One of the cells had a dead baby bee , another seemed
to have housed an adult that had left the nest, and the third was unfinished.
4. What does the animals' use of plastic show according to the study?
A. How widely plastic is used.
B. How strange the behavior of wildlife is.
C. How some wildlife is adapting to plastic.
D. How plastic pollution has harmed them.

A. They have great economic value.
B. They store honey like honeybees.
C. They prefer to live in tree holes.
D. They have evolved into a new species.
7. What was the nest made entirely of plastic like?
A. It might be warmer. B. It might be unhealthy.
C. It might be easy to finish. D. It might be recyclable.

The British poet Matthew Byrne moved to Beijing in 2013 and felt that the capital city's poetry scene was
lacking．His obsession（痴迷）for starting poetryevents led to the foundation of the Spittoon Collective in May
2015．“At that time，the literary activity in Beijing was The Bookworm based in Sanlitun，”Byrne says．
While some of Beijing's literary institutions would go on to close in the fall of 2019，Spittoon would continue
to grow as a community for poets and writers，as well as musicians and others in the creative scene．

create a kindof theme park-like atmosphere where every Thursday is occupied by a different literary style or art
form．”

called“Poetry-in-Translation”was started，which featured works in Chinese，French，Arabic，Russian，Spanish and

As one of the world’smost popular cultural mediums, cinema is at the leading position at the Taihu World
Cultural Forum(论坛), an annual event that aims to improve cultural exchanges. So far this year, Chinese box office
has already topped 58 billion yuan, the China Film Administration said. This indicates that China, the world’s
second-largest movie market, is closing the gap with the United States, the world’s top cinema market.
Cao Yin, director of the program center at China Movie Channel, said that China has 67,000 cinema screens.
the most of any country, and the number is expected to increase to 80,000 by the end of next year. Saying that

coproduction will become an important platform to send Chinese stories oversea and give us a broader vision of
creation,” Tong said.
Recently, over 80 percent of the world’s top 100 highest box-office titles have been action films. Tong said the
films, in which plots are basically secondary to shining stunts (特技), is one of the easiest ways to appeal to foreign
audiences. But it has been a decades-long struggle for Chinese filmmakers to sell their stories overseas. When
asked what kinds of Chinese films would have the most global appeal. Yan Zhaozhu, chairman of the Taihu World
Cultural Forum, said stories that address universal issues, such as environmental protection and climate change,
are perhaps the best options.
