28、ent.D. Advertisement.CFirst it was pets, then fish. Now its chickens and pigs. The list of animals allowed to feed on insects is growing. A new EU law permitting the use of insect protein in chicken and pig feed came into force earlier this month, an important milestone for an industry determined to

29、 worm its way into the animal-feed business.Since a ban on processed animal protein was carried out in 2001 because of the “mad cow” disease, soybean and fishmeal have become the basis of animal feed in Europe. But their production needs lots of space and can be harmful to the environment, so feed p

30、roducers are looking for other ways.Insects are just the ticket. They are raised in farms that require little land or water, and they can be fed on agricultural by-products or food waste such as rotting fruit and vegetables. Theyre also a natural fit. Most wild fish, birds and pigs eat insects.The o

31、ne thing going against them is price. Insect protein is two to three times more expensive than fishmeal and soybean. Increasing production may help reduce the difference. Rabobank, a Dutch lender, predicts that global insect production will reach 500,000 tonnes a year by 2030, up from just 10,000 to

32、nnes currently, and that prices will tumble. Insect companies have worked hard on their business. Research suggests insects may be more than mere feed, promoting growth rates and immune systems as well as filling stomachs. They also offer the prospect (前景) of a green, local protein.This year the Eur

33、opean Food Safety Agency has ruled that three species of insects, yellow mealworm, locusts and house crickets, are safe for humans to eat as well. Strangely, people seem less interested in the idea than chickens and pigs.8. Why did soybean and fishmeal become less and less popular?A. They can cause

34、“mad cow” disease.B. They are forbidden to produce.C. They may do harm to environment.D. They are agricultural by-products.9.

Unconcerned.D. Curious.DDandelion (蒲公英) seeds can travel for miles before finally floating down and settling som

36、ewhere new. Researchers recently discovered how the plants decide to spread. “We noticed that the dandelion parachute (降落伞) is closed in foggy mornings but then open again when the sun is up during the day,” according to Naomi Nakayama, a researcher of bioengineering. “The dandelion uses a bunch of

37、hairs to improve air drag and aid its flight. Unlike insects or birds, they dont need any energy input to fly a long distance- even hundreds of kilometersthey simply catch the wind.”Researchers discovered the parachutes open and close using what they say is like an actuator (触动器), a device that chan

38、ges energy and signals into movement. But this actuator doesnt use any energy. The middle of the dandelions parachute is able to sense the amount of humidity (湿度) by absorbing water molecules (分子) in the air. Using signals about humidity information, they either open their parachutes and fly off or

39、they close them and stay where they are.“The center of the parachute changes its shape, moving the hairs altogether in harmony,” Nakayama says. “Its basically a sponge made of no-longer living plant cells, which are arranged in a tube empty inside. The inner side and the outer side swell with water

40、to different degrees, and that drives the movement.”Knowing what causes dandelions to spread their seeds could help scientists learn how they deal with climate change. They say understanding the response could help researchers design new soft robots, which are those made from flexible materials that

41、 imitate soft bodies. “How plants move their body parts are different from animals and a simple, localized expansion could be enough to move arms,” Nakayama says. “Movement of a few arms has been achieved, but this is the first of many arm actuators. It is simple in design, so there is a lot of spac

By spreading their seeds.B. By changing energy into movement.C. By feeling humidity information.D. By staying where they are.
