Think about a world without insects(昆虫). It might sound nice at first. There would be no annoying(烦人的)bugs or flies in your room. But in fact, this could be 1 bad news.
The number of insects 2 dropped a lot in recent years, according to British biologist Dave Goulson. “In the 27 years from 1989 to 2016, the number of insects fell by 75 percent,” Goulson 3 .
