But some people are using bacteria to bring art back to life!A  2  to Popular Science, special microbes (微生物) have been used on e  3  from centuries-old frescoes (壁画) to oil paintings to ancient walls. People use them to clean and bring back the b  4  color of these pieces of cultural heritage (文物).R  5  , an Italian art restoration (修复) team tried to clean the marble (大理石) in the Medici Chapel in Florence. It was carved (雕刻) by the famous artist Michelangelo (1475 – 1564). They chose eight of the most promising types of bacteria from about 1,000 and tested them on the marble. The bacteria s  6  cleaned the contaminants (污染物) while leaving the marble unharmed.“Biocleaning”—using bacteria to clean artworks—was first used in the 1990s by Italian biologist Giancarlo Ranalli. A team was t  7  to clean frescoes at a cemetery (公墓) in Pisa, Italy. When the cemetery was ruined in World War II, people used animal glue to h  8  the works together. The team wanted to clean away the glue. They turned to Ranalli and asked: “Dr Ranalli, can’t you do anything with your bugs?”It t  9  out that bacteria are perfect for this kind of task – if you choose the right one. For Ranalli, it was Pseudomonas stutzeri (施氏假单胞菌). It ate through the animal glue while leaving the original color of the artworks. Now scientists have grown different t  10  of bacteria for certain contaminants, reported Forbes.It is the artists who create art works, but it is the bacteria that help people enjoy them in the future.1.             2.              3.              4.             5.             6.             7.              8.              9.             10.            (八) All of us want to be heard, but are we listening when other people are speaking?
