    We always think that it's OK for us to leave our plants home during our vacation as plants won't scream like pets, right?

    A recent study done by a group of scientists at the Tel Aviv University has discovered that some plants will scream when they are under stress.

    The research was carried out on tomato plants and tobacco plants by cutting their stems (茎) and depriving (剥夺) them of water. A microphone was placed 10cm away from them. When their stems were cut, the plants started "screaming" between 20 and 100 kilohertz, and the scientists guess that this scream is probably meant to warn other plants nearby.

    When the tomato plants' stems were cut, 25 ultrasonic (超声的) pain sounds were recorded in an hour, and at the same time, 15 ultrasonic pain sounds were recorded from the tobacco plants. When they were deprived of water, the tomato plants recorded even more pain sounds with 35 pain sounds in an hour while the tobacco plants recorded about 11 pain sounds.

    The plants also acted differently to different kinds of stresses. For example, the tobacco plants gave out a stronger "scream" when they were deprived of water than when their stems were cut. But plants that were in no immediate (立刻的) danger gave out less than one ultrasonic sound per hour.

    The group of scientists said that plants are not as quiet as we had always thought, but in fact their voices are so high-pitched that we just can't hear them.

    Last year, another study has found out that plants feel pain when they are touched or hurt and they will give off a terrible smell.

(3)、How many ultrasonic pain sounds did the tobacco plants give out in an hour when deprived of water?
A、11. B、15. C、25. D、35.
(4)、What can we learn from the passage?
A、Tomato plants acted the same under different stresses. B、Tobacco plants gave off a smell when they were safe. C、Plants not in immediate danger screamed most weakly. D、Plants that felt pain screamed loudly for people to hear.

    Football is so popular in China. Almost everyone is interested in this sport—the young and the old, boys and girls, and now even robots.

Recently at Hangzhou Guangming Middle School, kids from several schools played football with their robots.

    Robot football is very different from human football. Only two robots play in each match. The field is as big as a ping pong table. One half is black and the other is white. Each robot tries to catch the "football" and score a goal. The robot with more goals wins.

    Gao Linge, a boy from Hangzhou Guangming Middle School, helped make one of the robots for the match.

    "My school bought the main board (主板),"said Gao, 14. "Then I decided what my robot looked like and made a computer program for it."

    Gao's robot was eight centimeters tall and had two arms. It had four sensors (传感器) to "see" and "kick" the "football".

    Ying Xuehai, a 12-year-old student from Gao's school, also made a robot. His robot played against Gao's. The match decided who would go to the final game. Ying lost the game. So he gave many of his robot's parts to Gao.

    Even so, Gao's robot didn't win the final. It played well in the first five minutes. Then it slowed down. By the end of the match, it could hardly move. What was wrong? Gao and Ying found the problem—the robot ran out of batteries (电池)!

    "We'll solve the problem and beat the other schools next time!" said the two boys.

 阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,在下面的表格中填入与文章意思最符合的单词,每空填一词。

Food waste is common in many schools. Students at Whitewater Middle School in the US once found 200 pounds (90. 7kg) of food had been thrown away after just one of their school's daily meals. They said it was both unpleasant and educational. 

A student said, "You don't realize how much food waste you're making till you see it. " To deal with this problem, Whitewater has added environmental science as a new school program this year. Teachers will lead students to do research about how food connects with the environment, poverty (贫穷) and people's health. 

Whitewater teachers make sure students know how their own eating habits are part of bigger problems. In environmental literature (文学) classes, students read books such as Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal. 

Teacher Lyman says that in language arts classes, students discuss why poor people often have less healthy food. Lyman says she wants students to ask themselves some basic questions: "What do we eat? What do we waste?

A player recently bought himself a two- meter- long golden cudgel(金箍棒) after playing the video game Black Myth:Wukong. It is similar in every de tail to the magic stick from the game.

The stick is now a popular product on Taobao and Tmall. On these platforms, other products co- branded with the game are also selling well.

Black Myth is China's first AAA video game. Since it came out on August 20, it has taken the gaming world by storm. It sold 10 million copies within the first three days. This makes it one of the fastest- selling video games.

Beyond that, the game has had a" Black Myth" effect across several industries. Sales of home video game consoles(游戏机) have increased greatly from last year. Other gaming- related goods like laptops, keyboards, mice and headphones have all seen big increases in sales.

Moreover, its success has led to a travel boom in parts of China. Many scenes in the game are from real places. Players want to follow their hero and visit the same places. As a result, several sites have reported increased tourist activity. Some have even seen ticket sales three times higher than before. For example, the Yuhuang Temple in Shanxi Province, has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in China. Large number s of visitors go there to see its famous coloured sculptures(彩塑) from the Jin, Yuan and Ming dynasties.
