Ants have the ability to smell out cancerous cells（癌细胞）in humans, which has been discovered by a new study, suggesting that they could be used to find cancer in the future. Researchers from the French National Center for Scientific Research discovered that some ants have a well developed sense of smell. “However, more tests must be carried out before they could be used in hospitals,” the team said.

The scientists did tests with 36 ants, smelling cells in the lab. First, they let the ants smell some cancerous human cells. Every time the ants smelt cancerous cells, they were rewarded with sugar solution. In the second step, the ants were put into two different smells. One was a new smell of healthy cells and the second was still the smell of the cancerous cells. Once the ants found the cancerous cells successfully, the researchers made them smell different cancerous cells. As such, the scientists found that ants could discriminate（辨别）between cancerous and healthy cells and between two cancerous cells.

This isn’t the first time that scientists have used the animals’ sense of smell to find cancerous cells. “Dogs are good at finding something with their noses. However, training dogs to do so requires several months to a year. On the other hand, insects can be easily raised. They are inexpensive, and hundreds of them can be trained with fewer times,” the researchers pointed out.

“This study shows that ants are able to learn very quickly. The method-can hopefully be used for other tasks, including finding danger or other diseases,” the researchers added. 24．Which paragraph tells how the scientists did the tests?

A librarian in Indonesia’s Java Island is lending books to children in exchange for trash they collect in a new way to clean up the environment and get the children to read more.

Each weekday, Raden Roro Hendarti rides her three-wheeler with some books for children in Muntang village and carries back plastic cups, bags and other trash. The moment she shows up, children will run to her “Trash Library” and choose their favorite books. They all carry trash bags and Raden’s three-wheeler quickly fills up with them as the books fly out. She’s happy the children are going to spend less time on online games as a result.

“I hope this can help children get into the habit of reading, help them get more knowledge from young age and mitigate the harm of the online world,” Raden said. “We should also make them aware of the environment and take care of our trash in order to fight climate change and to save the earth from trash.”

She collects about 100 kg of trash each week, which is then sorted out by her colleagues and sent for recycling. She has a total of 6,000 books to lend and wants to offer the mobile service to neighboring areas, too.

Kevin Alamsyah is an 11-year-old book lover. “I seldom read before, but now I am always the first one to run to the ‘library’. I know when there is too much trash, our environment will become dirty and it’s not healthy. That’s why I look for trash to borrow a book,” he said.

The literacy rate(识字率) for above-15-year-olds in Indonesia is around 96 percent, but a recent report by the World Bank warned that the COVID-19 will leave more than 80% of 15-year-olds reading much less than before. Raden’s work is really helpful especially during
