They are very important to our planet. Here are some interesting facts about bees: First, bees are hard workers. Every day, they fly from flower to flower to collect nectar and pollen. On one trip, a bee can visit 50 to 100 flowers. This process is called pollination. Without pollination, many plants can’t produce fruits or seeds. In fact, about one-third of the food we eat depends on bee pollination! Second, bees live in colonies. A bee colony has three types of bees: a queen bee, worker bees, and drone bees. The queen bee lays eggs. Worker bees are female bees that collect food, build honeycombs, and take care of the young bees. Drone bees are male bees that mate with the queen bee. Third, bees communicate with each other through dance. When a worker bee finds a new source of food, it does a "waggle dance" to tell other bees where the food is and how far it is. However, bees are in danger. The number of bees is decreasing because of pollution, pesticides, and the loss of their natural habitat. We need to protect bees. We can plant more flowers, avoid using harmful pesticides, and create bee-friendly gardens. Bees are our friends. We can’t live without them! 阅读以上材料，根据其内容回答其后各个小题。 26. What is pollination? A. The process of bees collecting nectar. B. The process of bees laying eggs. C. The process of bees flying from flower to flower and carrying pollen. D. The process of bees building honeycombs. 27. How much of the food we eat depends on bee pollination? A. About one-fourth. B. About one-third. C. About half. D. About two-thirds. 28.

They depend on each other to survive. This connection is called the food chain. Plants are the producers in the food chain. They use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make their own food through photosynthesis. Animals are consumers. Herbivores eat plants, and carnivores eat herbivores. Humans are also consumers. We eat both plants and animals. 31._______ For example, bees pollinate plants, which helps plants grow. Plants provide food and shelter for animals. Animals help spread plant seeds. Humans depend on plants and animals for food, clothing, and medicine. 32._______ When forests are cut down, many animals lose their homes. Some species may become extinct. This breaks the balance of the ecosystem. Pollution also harms plants and animals. It makes the air, water, and soil dirty, which affects their survival. 33._______ We can plant more trees and flowers to provide food and shelter for animals. We can reduce pollution by using public transport, saving water, and recycling waste. We can also protect wild animals by not hunting them or destroying their habitats. 34._______ It teaches us that all living things are important. We should respect nature and live in harmony with plants and animals. 35._______ Only by protecting plants and animals can we ensure a healthy and sustainable future for ourselves. 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。（其中有一项为多余选项） A.
