Kairo McLean was waiting for his mom to pick him up from school. She arrived with the car windows down， playing Kairo’s song Easy Now as loud as the sound could go. That was when she informed him that he was nominated （提名） for the Juno Awards， one of Canada’s most influential music awards， for Reggae Recording of the Year. At age 13， Kairo was the youngest artist ever nominated for Reggae Recording of the Year at the JUNOS. His Juno-nominated single Easy Now appears on his first-ever album （专辑） of the same title.

“I’m so glad that reggae music， which is originally from Jamaica， is being recognized and appreciated here in Canada，” Kairo said in an interview. “It’s really exciting that all my efforts have been recognized in spite of my young age， and it encourages me to keep struggling hard to realize my musical dream，” he said.

“Kairo would try to play the keyboard before he was tall enough to reach it. He wanted to learn how to play the guitar before it could even fit on his lap，” Kairo’s mom recalled. “Listening to music from reggae music artists like Cocoa Tea， Yellowman and Bob Marley is a normal thing in our household. Apart from that， he really put many efforts in his interest，” she added.

As a Canadian reggae artist outside of Jamaica， Kairo feels that music should spread a message about love and peace， not things like violence and hate. Kairo’s music is about bright light in the world， though we might be sometimes caught in the darkness such as bullies （仗势欺人者） at school or crime in the society. “I bring up the injustices that I see in the world and I talk about them because they need to be spoken about and they need to be heard，” said Kairo.

Lots of animals play. But the behavior is best known in mammals （哺乳动物） and birds. Now the scientists at London’s Queen Mary University report that bumblebees （大黄蜂） know the same thing. But before this， there were no reports of insects playing.

Dr Lars Chittka began to wonder if bumblebees played during an earlier test. In that test， Chittka guided bumblebees to move balls into a goal for food. He noticed that some bees were rolling （滚动） balls even when they weren’t given food. He wondered if they were playing.

To test the idea， the scientists at his lab set up a new test. First， they numbered 45 young bumblebees between 1 and 23 days old. The numbers let them follow bumblebees’ behavior. Then， they set up a clear pathway from the bumblebees’ home to a feeding area. On either side of the open pathway， the researchers placed small colored wooden balls. On one side of the path， the balls couldn’t move. On the other side， the balls could roll around. For three hours a day， over 18 days， the scientists opened the pathway between the home and the feeding area. The bumblebees never had to leave the pathway to find food， but they left anyway. They weren’t interested in the side where the balls didn’t move， but they made lots of visits to the side with the rolling balls.
