At that time, Blackman’s wife was suffering form progressive blindness.

An exhibition at the Harvard Museum of Natural History is around the theme of food plant disease, using early 20th-century glass models of rotting fruit.

Known as Harvard's "Glass Flowers", the Ware Collection of Blaschka Glass Models of Plants consists of over 4，300 sculptures of plants and plant parts fashioned entirely in glass by the German father-and-son artists Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka between 1887 and 1936. Harvard originally used the models as teaching tools, showing plants' three-dimensional structure and color.

The "Fruits in Decay" shows a collection of models of diseased, rotting, and withering(枯萎的) fruiting plants. The rotting fruit series was intended specifically to educate the public about the danger of plant disease. These models were created by Rudolf, the younger Blaschka, in the early 20th century Harvard botanist Oakes Ames asked him to create these diseased fruit models. And he thought about these as a way to look at what we now call food security-or insecurity.

Though the models were made nearly a hundred years ago, the theme is as remarkable as ever. Most of the illnesses shown on Rudolf Blaschka's plant models still affect today's crops.

"In certain ways, global agriculture is more likely to be harmed than it has ever been to disease threats(威胁), largely due to the widespread practice of planting one crop over large production areas. Less genetic diversity means that crops have less resistance to disease," says Sheng Yang He, a professor at Michigan State University.

Climate change will make plants more vulnerable to disease because warming temperatures disable an important plant defense system against plant disease. Major crop loss from plant disease is already at a shocking 20 t0 40 percent. Food security threats from disease will almost certainly become more common so there's a lot to be done about convincing people of it.

1.What are shown on the exhibition?

A.Models of diverse crops. B.Models of withering flowers.

C.Models of rotting plant parts. D.Models of diseased fruiting plants.

2.By whom were the exhibits created?

A.Oakes Ames. B.Sheng Yang He.

C.Rudolf Blaschka. D.Leopold Blaschka.

3.Why is the exhibition meaningful?

A.It convinces people of the food security threats.

B.It reminds people of effects of global warming.

C.It helps people understand the history of fruit planting.

D.It provides people with knowledge of global agriculture.

4.What does the underlined word "vulnerable" in the last paragraph mean?

A.Weak and easily hurt. B.Resistant and protected.

C.Defensive and hard to attack. D.Sensitive and completely destroyed.
