浙江省衢州市实验学校教育集团(衢州学院附属学校教育集团)2024-2025学年九年级上学期11月期中英语试题
Some people have sensitive (敏感的) feet or skin. Others may have a hard time laughing at their own mistakes. Perhaps you live with someone like this. But can you imagine living with a sensitive plant?
Now, imagine that your hand is a green plant stem(茎) and each of your fingers is a leaf. Use your other hand to touch your leaf fingers. One at a time, close each leaf finger. until you have made a fist. Quickly drop your hand down to your leg. Wait a little while, and then slowly bring your hand back to its original(原来的) position.
It's just this kind of behavior that has made the sensitive plant get its name. Brush your fingers gently across the leaves of the sensitive plant, and the leaves at once fold up(合拢) like tiny green fingers. The stems drop down as if ready to fall off the plant. About ten minutes later, the leaves open again, and the stems rise again! Sensitive plants are easy to grow inside your house. They simply need to get plenty of water and sunlight. But touching the plant too often can cause the plant to lose its leaves. A sensitive plant that loses many of its leaves may become unhealthy.
Imagine the fun you can have: introducing a friend to your plant! Have your friend stand close to the plant to tell it jokes. Touch your plant with a finger, and watch your friend's reaction when the plant seems to drop down slowly to say"no". Be sure to tell your friend the true cause of the plant's behavior later, though. You don't want your friend to become overly sensitive about his jokes!
