Do you believe a rose plant says "I want some water" or a tree shouts " My arms hurt" ? Maybe you will say this could only happen in some {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (children)stories.

In fact, plants are not always silent. So far, a recent study{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (find)plants shout when they are in need of water or having their stems cut. "Even in a quiet field, there are {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (actual)some sounds that carry information. However, the pitch(音高) is too high for people {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (hear)," said Lilach Hadany, a professor from Tel Aviv University. The researchers used microphones to record some tomato plants and found that stressed plants send out {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (many)sounds than unstressed plants. "When tomatoes are not stressed at all, they are very quiet," Professor Hadany said. They also trained a machine in telling the differences{#blank#}6{#/blank#} thirsty plants and cut plants. The result shows that{#blank#}7{#/blank#}the causes of stress change, they shout differently. After {#blank#}8{#/blank#}team recorded many kinds of other plants, they found that many plants like corn, wheat and grape plants send out sounds when they are under stress, too.

"There is a possibility{#blank#}9{#/blank#} a lot of communication is happening," Professor Hadany said. " Because other{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (plant) can probably hear the call of the stressed plants. "

Sound recordings of plants could bring humans lots of advantages especially in farming. For example, people will make sure whether corn is getting enough water or where water is needed most without much difficulty. .

 阅读下面材料,从方框中所给的A一E五个选项中选择小标题(其中一项是多余选项),将其序号填入第46~49小题,并回答50小题。

Hopes, ambitions(抱负) dreams. How many of your will you achieve? When you look back at your life in the future, will you have good memories of all the things that you did? Or will you regret all the things that you didn't do?

Of course, there's no easy road to success, but one thing is certain: success won't come if you don't do anything. So how do you do it? This four-step model will help you to make your dreams come true.

Step 1: {#blank#}1{#/blank#}What would you like to do? Write down all your ambitions. They may be very general, such as I would like to be fitter. I want to be famous. or It would be nice to have more friends. Or they may be more specific, like I've always wanted to play a musical instrument.

Step 2: {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Now you need to do two things:

1. Choose one or two ambitions.

2. Set a time limit(限定)

For example, I would like to be fitter in Step 1 now becomes I will be fit enough to join a half-marathon race by the end of August.

Step 3: {#blank#}3{#/blank#}Now that you've made your choice, what are you actually going to do to achieve your goal? So, in our example, I will be fit enough to join a half- marathon race by the end of August, becomes I'm going to join a running club.Or I'm going ta go jogging three times a week.

Step 4: {#blank#}4{#/blank#}This is when you change your intentions(意图) into specific actions. Prepare to do something at a specific time. So now I'm going to join a running club. becomes I'm meeting the president of the Cheetahs Running Club on Monday evening at 5:30.

Don't let your ambitions die. Follow this four step plan and make your dream come true.

A. Change I would like to...to I will....

B. Change I did...to I do...

C. Change I'm going to...to I'm doing...on...at...

D. Think about your ambitions

E. Change I will...to I'm going to...

Will you try the four steps plan to make your dream come true? Why or why not? {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
