17、ne means a public servant. D. Good actions spread quickly.C Maj Rundlof remembers the moment she changed her mind about neonicotinoidsthe worlds most widely used pesticides (杀虫剂). In December 2013, in her office at Lund University in Sweden, she and postdoc Georg Andersson were looking at data from

18、their latest study. It was designed to test what would happen to bees if they fed on crops treated with neonicotinoids. “I didnt expect to see any effect at all, to be honest,” says Rundlof.Hives of honeybees werent greatly affected by the chemicals in crops, the study suggested. But the data on bum

19、blebees told a different story. Bumblebee colonies that hadnt fed on the treated crops looked normal: they were packing on weight to survive the winter. But in the colonies exposed to neonicotinoids, the growth chart was a flat line.When the Swedish study was published in April 2015, it made headlin

20、es around the world. It was the first to show that neonicotinoidsknown as neonicscould harm bees in a real-world farming situation. Bee populations are declining in many parts of the globe, a worrying sign for the crops and wild plants that rely on these bees for their survival. Parasites (寄生虫), dis

21、ease and shrinking food resources are all prime suspects. But a link to neonics has become a major flashpoint.Even before Rundlofs results were revealed, the European Union had placed heavy restrictions on three most widely used neonics in flowering cropsplants that might be attractive to beesamong

22、rising concerns that the chemicals might harm pollinators (传粉者). But farmers, the agrochemical industry and some scientists pointed out that these were based on limited evidence, gathered mostly from lab tests.Since Rundlofs paper, studies showing real-world evidence of harm from pesticides in the f

23、ield have been mountingand environmental organizations have demanded wide-ranging bans. Regulatory agencies will soon decide what to do about neonics, which have a global market worth more than US 1.5 billion per year.This month, the EUs European Food Safety Authority is due to complete a reevaluati

24、on of evidence for restricting neonics; the EU will then need to decide what action to take.France has passed a law that would ban neonics in 2018.But industry groups and some scientists say the evidence still isnt conclusive. The picture is complicated: some studies show harm to some bees in some c

25、ircumstances, while others find no harm. The results seem to be affected by many factors, including the species of bee and the kinds of crops involved. Scientists working on the question say any new study is instantly picked at by advocates on both sides. Even the results of the largest study on the

26、 matter, funded by the agrochemical industry, failed to produce a consensus. Its likely that political or regulatory decisions will settle the matter before opposing parties agree.28.

I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have n

31、ever known an average man who had both. The two belong together.Together, these deep human urges（驱策力）count for much more than ambition. Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like Galileo, all the

32、 great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, Why? Why? Why?Fortunately, curiosity and discontent dont have to be learned. We are born with them and need only recapture them.The great man, said Mencius（孟子）, is he who does not lose his childs heart. Yet most of us do lose it. We stop

33、asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires only the calm and restful average. It encourages us to occupy our own little corner, to avoid foolish leaps into the dark, to be satisfied.Most of us meet new people, and new ideas, with hesitation. But onc

34、e having met and liked them, we think how terrible it would have been, had we missed the chance. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.How should you start? Modestly, so as not to become discouraged. I think of one friend who couldnt arran

36、good, because its always the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts ofUncle Toms Cabinwhile cooking. Youre too old? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78.Howe
