In my house, bedtime stories are holy. Rarely does something change the nightly routine, although feverish kids have been known to be tucked in, without story. But last week, my 4-year-old awoke at 1 a.m. with this complaint: \ou forgot to read me my bedtime story.\Reading forges connections between parents and children (even in the middle of the right, it's also good for little brains. 77. ___________________
But does the form in which the words appear matter? The New York Times reports that parents --- even those who are avid digital downloader’s---are avoiding kids' e-books for the real things.

Section D
An African-bom British scientist received an environment research prize at the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) meeting for showing how bees can be used to reduce conflict between people and elephants. Lucy King's work proved that beehive \ (蜂箱\栅栏\which can bite them inside their long noses, and flee when they hear buzzing (蜂鸣声 ).
Dr King's work offers an intelligent solution to an age-old challenge, while providingfurther confirmation of the importance of bees to people and a really clever way of preserving the world's largest land animal for current and future generations. Working in Kenya, Dr King and her team showed that more than 90% of elephants will flee when they hear the sounds of buzzing bees. Afterwards, they also found that elephants produce a special sound to warn their fellows of the danger. They used the findings to construct barriers where beehives are woven into a fence, keeping the elephants away from places where people live and grow food.
A two-year project involving 34 farms showed that elephants trying to go through the fences would shake them, disturbing the bees. Later, the fences were adopted by farming communities in three Kenyan districts -- who also made increased amounts of money from selling honey. \of animals but also the economic benefits to the local communities linked to species preservation,\said CMS executive secretary Elizabeth Maruma Mrema.
As Africa's population grows, competition for space between people and elephants is becoming more serious, and there are fatalities on both sides. The same is true in parts of Asia. Sri Lanka alone sees the deaths of all estimated 60 people and 200 elephants each year from conflict.
Working with the charity Save the Elephants, Lucy King now wants to see whether the Kenyan technique will work in other parts of Africa -- and perhaps, eventually, in Asia. \different elephant species, the bee species are different, it rains a lot more, we have animals like bears that love honey -- but I'd be very interested in sharing my research with anyone with experience in Asia to see whether it could work there,\said.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.) 81. Lucy King's research shows that by using bees, can be reduced. 82. How do most elephants in Kenya respond to the sounds of buzzing bees?
83. Dr. King's work is regarded as a constructive solution, for it considers___________________. 84. What four issues should be thought about in the application of Lucy King's findings in Asia?
