Scientific experiments can smetimes g wrng and when they d, the results may range frm the disastrus t the trubling. One such experiment tk place in Suth America abut fifty years ag. Whether its final results will cause serius damage r nthing mre than a small truble still remains t be seen.
The stry began in 1956 when an American scientist wrking in Brazil decided t slve the prblem f increasing the prductivity f that cuntry’s bees. He imprted a very active type f African bee frm Tanzania and mated (交配) it with the mre easyging native variety t prduce a new kind f bees. The new bees wrked harder and prduced twice as much hney. It seemed that Prfessr Kerr, fr that was the scientist’s name, had a ttal success n his hands.
Then things began t g wrng. Fr sme reasn as yet unseen, but perhaps as a result f smething in their envirnment, the new bees began t develp extremely attacking persnalities. They became bad-tempered and easy t be angry, attacked the native bees and drve them frm their living places.

This wuld have been bad enugh if the bees had stayed in Brazil. But nw they are n the mve, heading nrthwards in cuntless millins twards Central and Nrth America, and mving at the alarming speed f 200 miles a year. The cuntries that lie in their path are naturally wrried because it lks as if nthing can be dne t stp them.

C. Their bad temper.
D. Their living envirnment.
