Can plants learn and remember? Monica from Australia thinks so.
Monica and her team members did some tests on mimosas(含羞草). The plants close their leaves quickly when people touch them. They put some mimosas in 56 pots. Every time they dropped the pots from 30cm high, the plants closed their leaves. Monica and her team members did this for a whole day. To their surprise，at the end of the day, the plants didn't close their leaves at all. It seemed that the plants learned that this action wouldn't hurt them.
Another amazing thing was that the plants might remember things for a long time. Monica dropped the same pots of mimosas four weeks later. The plants still didn't close their leaves.
Monica wasn't sure how plants learned and remembered. "The plants don't have brains, after all. Maybe they learn and remember with the help of their cells(细胞)," she said.

Recently, a new kind of bike called the shared bike has appeared in many cities in China. Shared bikes are easy and cheap to use. First, you download the app of a shared bike onto your smart phone. Then when you want to unlock and ride a bike, you just scan the two— dimensional code(二维码) on the bike with your smart phone. The GPS—supported app helps position the bikes no matter where they are parked. And they can be left in public places for the next users. If you need a bike, you can easily find the nearest one through the app. A 30—minute ride costs only 0.5 to 1 yuan.
Among different kinds of shared bikes, Ofo and Mobike are the most popular ones. It is said that in the first week of this year there were 585 million active users of Mobike and Ofo had 1.4 million users. Ofo, which got its name from the look of a bicycle(Ofo), was first used by students in Peking University and soon became popular out of the university.
"In places where the subway doesn't get to, or places where it's difficult to change from one kind of transportation to another, it's easy to get where you want to go with a shared bike."said Hu Hong, one of the users from Shanghai.
