Zoos across North America are working hard to prevent their birds from the bird flu.
Most of the steps zoos are taking 61 (design) to stop contact between wild birds and zoo birds.In some places,officials are requiring employees to change into clean boots and wear 62 (protect) clothes before entering bird areas.Toronto Zoo workers are adding 63 (roof) to some outdoor bird exhibits and double-checking the net surrounding enclosures(圍場(chǎng)) 64 (guarantee) it will keep wild birds out.
The National Aviary in Pittsburgh — the nation's largest— is providing individual health checks for each of its 65 (rough) 500 birds.Many already live in large glass enclosures or outdoor habitats in 66 they don't have direct exposure to wildlife.
Penguins(企鵝) may be 67 only birds visitors can see right now,because they already are kept inside and usually protected behind glass in their exhibits.Kansas City Zoo CEO Sean Putney said,“I 68 (hear) a few complaints from visitors since we took action,but most people seem OK with not 69 (get) to see some birds.“I think our guests understand that we have what's in the best interests of the animals 70 mind when we make these decisions,” Putney said.

Climate change makes trees and plants produce more pollen(花粉),and start earlier.The terrible news is that it will continue to get 61 (bad).
Scientists at the University of Michigan say allergy season in the United States 62 (use) to start around the middle of March.Now,63 (especial) in the warmer southeastern part of the country,it starts about one month earlier.If climate change continues 64 its current pace,it might start around January 1 by the year 2100.If,however,reductions in greenhouse gas65 (put) in place,the sneezing(打噴嚏) would start closer to the end of January.
Around the world,about 30 percent of people suffer from pollen allergies.Among 66 (child) in the U.S.,that number is about 40 percent.“Sneezing and runny noses cause people 67 (miss) work and spend more money on health care.The 68 (lose) days of work hurt global economies,” said Yingxiao Zhang,lead author of the study.
Bill Anderegg,69 is a climate scientist but was not involved in the study,said,“The new study notes that the next pollen increase will be twice as large 70 the increase since 1990 and will have serious health consequences”.Therefore he called for joint efforts to face the challenge.

A team of engineers at Stanford University have developed solar panels(太陽(yáng)能電池板) that can produce some electricity at night.
While standard solar panels can provide electricity during the day,this device can serve 61 a “continuous renewable power source for both day and nighttime,” according to the study 62 (publish) in Applied Physics Letters. The device includes a thermoelectric generator(熱傳導(dǎo)發(fā)電機(jī)),63 can pull electricity from the small difference in temperature between the 64 (surround) air and the solar panel itself.
“Our approach can provide nighttime standby lighting and power in off-grid and mini-grid applications,where solar panels are 65 (great) popular,” the study said.Mini-grid applications refer to independent electricity networks.These can 66 (use) when a population is too small or too far away to extend the grid.
67 wasn't until recently that solar energy declined in price and became much more affordable.Some 68 (company) have bought into the program,and California has even encouraged the shift to solar.
President of Solar Energy Industries Association Abigail Ross Hopper said,“Investing in energy alternatives 69 (be) important.In the face of global supply uncertainty,we must expand clean energy production and reduce our 70 (rely) on other nations for our energy needs.”

As a human in the 21st-century industrialized world,there's a good chance that microplastics are pumping around in your veins(靜脈) if this small first-of-its-kind study is anything to go by.
61 (report) in Environment International,scientists from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam recently developed a method to 62 (accurate) measure concentrations of microplastics in human blood for the first time.Just as they 63 (suspect) in the past,microplastics from the outside world are ending up in the bloodstream of humans.The team tested the blood of 22 people and concluded 17 of the 64 (sample) contained tiny amounts.
“We have now proven plastic exists in our bloodstream,” study author Marja Lamoree said.“This dataset is the first of its kind and must be expanded 65 (gain) insight into how widespread plastic is in our bodies,and how 66 (harm) that may be.With this insight,we can determine whether exposure 67 microplastics poses a threat to health.”
Human bodies are riddled with microplastics,but wider evidence for the effects of microplastics on human health 68 (be) pretty inadequate.However,with 69 ever-mounting number of studies finding that microplastics can be found in our bodies,it's a question 70 needs some clear answers soon.

The Yungang Grottoes are a series of ancient Buddhist rock-cut temples 68 (base) in Datong,Shanxi Province.The replication not only allows people to get much closer to the precious relic 69 damaging the original objects,but also helps the research and preservation of the relic.Besides,the successful 3D printing of Cave No.3 represents a significant 70 (achieve) in the field of cultural preservation and technology in China.
