In the same century, in 1865, the beekeeping school of Luxembourg Gardens in Paris was started. At that timethere were around 2,000 beehives in the city. After that the numbers went down for some time, but beekeeping hasbecome popular again recently. Now there are over 700 hives in Paris. Some of these hives are actually on the roofs offamous Parisian buildings such as Notre Dame, the Opéra Garnier, and the Grand Palais. Others are kept on the roofsof famous hotels and restaurants such as the Mandarin-Oriental. Down below in the kitchens, chefs use the uniquehoney to make tasty desserts.The most amazing part of the bees and their honey is not even where they live. It is the amount, the quality, and theflavor of the honey. First, city bees make three to five times more honey than country bees. This may be because thereare no pesticides in the parks and gardens in Paris. Rural French beekeepers lose up to 40 percent of their hives eachyear because of disease, pesticides, and other causes. However, urban beekeepers lose less than five percent.“That’s interesting,” you might be thinking, “but isn’t there a lot of pollution in Paris?” In fact, the pollution doesnot seem to affect the honey. Parisian honey was tested for 30 kinds of pollution, and none was found.As for the taste, Parisian bees have many different kinds of flowers and exotic plants to choose from. In thecountryside, however, there is usually only one type of plant. The flowers in Paris give the honey a special taste likecherry or bubblegum. Although the honey is popular, it is quite expensive.Beekeepers in Paris face some small problems. For instance, if there are too many hives in one area, the bees mightnot have enough food. Therefore, beekeepers must work together and spread out their hives. Another problem is bees inrestaurants. One beekeeper had to remove his hives from the roof of a restaurant after his bees started drinking from theflower vases. However, most problems can be avoided if beekeepers are responsible.

Therefore, an office building smoke control system might be limited to active systems to protect itsstairways and passive means to protect floor-to-floor smoke spread. If, however, the same office building has highoccupant loads per floor or the building includes assembly or dining at the top floor(s), or there is a simultaneousevacuation of numerous floors resulting in longer evacuation times due to queuing, the additional analysis may benecessary to determine whether additional active or passive smoke control measures are necessary.

Mark Finney at the US Forest Service and his colleagues sometimes do the unthinkable. They go out請依下文回答第題至第60 題into the bush and start a fire. But they’re not arsonists and these fires aren’t sprawling or highlydestructive. They’re controlled burns of real vegetation that give scientists a better understanding of howflames leap from one branch to another. Studying that can help predict how real wildfires may spread.Among the measurements Finney and his team take include the amount of time that flames spendburning in one area, how quickly they propagate through vegetation and what kind of heat exchange isgoing on as they do so. These experiments have taken place in New Zealand. The burn areas arecordoned off by barriers that stop the fire getting out of control.“We have drones that fly over and give us a view of what’s going on from the air, we have camerasthat are protected by an aluminum and insulation housing that allow you to put them inside the fire,” hesays. “It usually takes a day or more to set up all the instruments and of course you have to have theweather conditions cooperating.”It’s all part of a modern human quest – to know what makes fire tick. A supposedly crucial momentin the history of human evolution is the “discovery” of fire. But fire has been a natural occurrence onEarth since long before our ancestors took their first steps. And today, far from being something underour control, fire often takes the form of a man-made disaster. In the US, well over 80% of wildfires arestarted, usually accidentally, by people.This year, like last year, many parts of the planet have experienced very hot and dry summers,sharply raising the chance of wildfires taking hold once ignited.Woodlands have blazed in Greece, Sweden, and Siberia among other hotspots. The southwesternUS state of California has just recorded its largest wildfire on record.What if we’d known when and where these fires would start? Or how they would wax and wane? Ifwe had such knowledge, we’d surely be better able to protect the towns and communities that are at riskfrom destruction.Finney hopes that data from his experiments will improve the existing models that are used to projectwildfire spread. Some of those models are too simplistic, he explains.56Which of the following is the most appropriate title for this passage?
