learning their secret could help doctors better treat humans who have these diseases, therefore saving millions of lives. to solve this problem, a team of researchers from australia and china analyzed bat dna. the scientists studied two kinds of batsthe australian megabat, known as the flying fox, and the chinese microbat. the scientists then arranged the bat genome (基因组) in order by comparing their dna.来源:学科 the researchers now think that the special immunity (免疫性) to illness that bats have may be connected to their ability to fly. bats are the only mammals (哺乳动物) that can truly fly. flying uses up a lot of energy. the energy burned for flying produces something in the animal called free radicals (自由基). free radicals can damage dna and lead to diseases such as cancer. however, bats are not affected by free radicals produced during flight. the reason is that bats carry special genes to repair any damaged dna. scientists think that because bats fly and produce free radicals, theyve evolved to carry genes that shaped their special immune system. “were thinking that the evolution of flight led to a sort of effect, influencing not only the immune system but also things like aging and cancer,” says chris cowled, of the australian animal health laboratory. “we think weve really found something special.” researchers believe that this discovery might one day be key to helping humans fight diseases such as cancer that attack the immune system and damage dna.4. whats true about bats according to the passage?

a. using too much packaging b. recycling too many wastesc. making more products than necessary d. having more material than is needed8. the author uses figures in paragraph to show _. a. the tendency of cutting household waste b. the increase of packaging recyclingc. the rapid growth of supermarkets d. the fact of packaging overuse9. what can be inferred from paragraph 4?
