A new study finds that plants communicate with one another to warn of danger.

We often consider plants as the furniture of the natural world. They don’t move; they don’t make sounds, they don’t seem to act on anything. But as is often the case, plants talk to each other all the time. And the language is chemical.

Over the years, scientists have reported that different types of plants, from trees to tomatoes, give out chemicals into the air to help neighboring plants. These chemical warnings can spread information about one plant’s disease or infestation(蟲害), so other plants can protect themselves. But how plants receive and act on many of the information exactly is still mysterious.

In this week’s Science Magazine, researchers in Japan offered some explanations. They have found out one chemical message and traced it all the way from beginning to end.

The scientists looked at tomato plants infested by a common pest(害蟲). To start out, they grew plants in two separate plastic spaces connected by a tube(管子). One plant was infested and placed upwind and the other was uninfested and placed downwind. The downwind plants were later exposed(暴露) to the pest. The results showed that plants near sick neighbors before were able to protect themselves better against the pest.

They found one chemical appeared more often in the exposed plants. The chemical is called HexVic. The scientists discovered where HexVic come from, and put it over healthy plants. Those plants were then able to produce HexVic. Researchers made sure that uninfested plants could fight off bugs and diseases. How do they know when to protect themselves? They are warned first by their friendly plant neighbors.

It is not a simple story, and it may be happening in more plant species than tomatoes. It may also be happening with more chemical signals that are still unknown to us. In a word, we know that plants not only communicate, but also look out for one another.

1.The underlined “traced” in the fourth paragraph probably means _________ here.

A. reported B. followed C. doubted D. developed

2.For scientists, which are the right steps to watch tomato plants infested by a pest?

①Place the infested plant upwind.

③Expose the downwind plants to the pest.

④Grow plants in two separate plastic spaces connected by a tube.

A. ③①②④ B. ③④①② C. ④①②③ D. ④③①②

3. You can put the sentence “The researches also studied leaves from exposed plants and unexposed plants.” At the beginning of ____________.

A. Paragraph 3 B. Paragraph 4 C. Paragraph 5 D. Paragraph 6

4.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?

A. Communicating Plants and Terrible Diseases

B. Talking Plants and Friendly Warnings

C. Protecting Plants and Clear Information

D. Growing Plants and Mysterious Chemicals

You may know that more people drink coffee than tea around the world. And that, after oil, it is the second biggest traded commodity(商品). You may also know that the drink comes from beans which are first roasted and then ground(研磨). But what else do you know about this popular drink?

It is said that the story of coffee started with an Ethiopian(埃塞俄比亞) sheepherd named Kaldi. One day Kaldi was surprised to see that his goats were behaving very strangely. Instead of eating grass quietly, they were jumping around, almost dancing. He also noticed some red “cherries” from a plant that the goats were eating. He tried some himself and was surprised by the feeling of extreme happiness and excitement. He felt like dancing too!

But it wasn’t used as a drink at first. It was used as food. The coffee berries, mixed with animal fat, were used by monks to stay awake during long hours of prayer. From Ethiopia, coffee was later planted in Yemen and the first hot drink was developed there around AD 1000. Three centuries later，drinking coffee became popular among Muslims(穆斯林) and as Islam spread, so did coffee. Coffee houses appeared in Cairo and Mecca.

For hundreds of years the plants were protected safely. But some beans were smuggled(偷運) and taken to India. In the 17th century, coffee was soon grown in other places. From India to Indonesia, a century later the beans were once again smuggled to Brazil. Brazil is now the largest coffee producer in the world.

It was the caffeine(咖啡因)that made the goats dance and kept the monks awake. Although it is found in other soft drinks and tea, coffee has the most caffeine. In the short term, a couple of cups of coffee can prevent tiredness and delay sleep. But several cups a day, every day, can cause uncomfortable feelings.
