The veterinarians that handle zoo animals are specially trained in exotic medicine, the diseases and conditions of animals not usually kept as pets.

In recent years, there has been an increase of bee colonies that have suddenly and mysteriously died. This is called bee colony collapse. The worker bees leave the hive and the queen, babies, and food remain. Without the worker bees, the hive cannot survive. Bee colony collapse negatively impacts the environment around the hives. The bees pollinate the plants and crops that surround the hive. Without bees, the plants and crops would not bloom or produce fruits and vegetables. Scientists think there are a few reasons why the bee colonies are collapsing. The first is the increased invasion of a mite in a hive. The use of pesticides by farmers and gardeners may also be killing the bees. The pesticides are used to keep bugs that destroy plants and crops under control, but they are unintentionally killing bees as well. How does the author support the idea that bee colony collapse negatively impacts the environment?

Most kids carry backpacks to school. Unfortunately, many backpacks are poorly designed, and kids often stuff the bags too full of books and supplies. This can cause major stress to the back muscles and spine. Backpacks are a leading cause of shoulder, neck, and back pain in young students. Backpacks can even cause problems for older students who go to high school and college.
Here are some important factors to consider when choosing a backpack. Look for a good-quality, name-brand backpack. Cheap models frequently do not have a good support structure. Try to get a model with adequate padding, or add padding if necessary. Make sure the backpack is comfortable. Try not to stuff the backpack too full. Only carry things that are necessary for the day or the trip. In addition, take the backpack off and set it down when possible. Simply taking a break or a rest can make a big difference.
What would be the best concluding sentence for the above passage?
*
In conclusion, older students do not need to worry about problems caused by backpacks.
Thus, kids should never leave a backpack unattended at school or other common areas.
Lastly, broken backpack straps are often the cause of back pain or injury.
To sum up, choosing the right backpack can help prevent future injuries.
