We always think that it's OK fr us t leave ur plants hme during ur vacatin as plants wn't scream like pets, right?
A recent study dne by a grup f scientists at the Tei Aviv University has discvered (发现)that sme plants will scream when they are under stress.
The research was carried ut n tmat plants and tbacc plants by cutting their stems (茎)and depriving (剥夺)them f water. A micrphne was placed 10cm away frm them. When their stems were cut, the plants started “screaming" between 20 and 100 kilhertz, and the scientists guess that this scream is prbably meant t warn ther plants nearby.
When the tmat plants’ stems were cut, 25 ultrasnic(超声的)pain sunds were recrded in an hur, and at the same time, 15 ultrasnic pain sunds were recrded frm the tbacc plants. When they were deprived f water, the tmat plants recrded even mre pain sunds with 35 pain sunds in an hur while the tbacc plants recrded abut 11 pain sunds.
The plants als acted differently t different kinds f stresses. Fr example, the tbacc plants gave ut a strnger “scream” when they were deprived f water than when their stems were cut. But plants that were in n immediate(立刻的)danger gave ut less than ne ultrasnic sund per hur.
The grup f scientists said that plants are nt as quiet as we had always thught, but in fact their vices are s high-pitched that we just can't hear them.
Last year, anther study has fund ut that plants feel pain when they are tuched r hurt and they will give ff a terrible smell.
( )54. What have the grup f scientists at the Tel Aviv University discvered?
A. Sme plants under stress will scream. B. Plants in danger scream t warn thers.

A. Cutting the stems f plants B. Depriving plants f water
C. Çllecting ultrasnic sunds:D.Testing different stresses,
( )56.Hw many ultrasnic pain sunds did the tbacc plants give ut in an hur when deprived f water?
35 B. 15 C. 25 D. 11
( )57. What can we learn frm the passage?
A.Tmat plants acted the sme under different stresses.
B.Tbacc plants gave ff a smell when they were safe,
C. Plants nt in immediate danger screamed mst weakly.
D. Plants that felt pain screamed ludly fr peple t hear.

He was the nly gray cub(狼 崽) f the she-wlf. The ther cubs had red in their hair. He was gray like his father. He was the strngest cub. He shwed mre anger than his brthers and sisters. He made mre nises.
He was a carnivrus animal. He came f a breed f meat-killers and, meat-caters. His father and mther lived whlly upn meat. In his first mnths f life, he lived n mther's milk, which was transfrmed directly frm meat. And nw, at a mnth ld, when his eyes had been pen fr but a week, he was beginning himself t cat meat. There came a time when there was n meat. Fr many days the cubs did nt eat. They were t weak and tired t play. One-Eye, the cub's father, was killed in the fight ver fd. Even the she-wlf left the cave t find meat, but there was nthing. One by ne, the cubs died. Only the she-wlf and the gray cub were left.
One day the gray cub ran ut f the cave t hunt fr his wn fd. He met a weasel(黄鼠狼) f his size. The rat-like animal ran at him and bit his thrat. He was nearly dead when the she-wlf arrived just in time t kill and eat it.
The gray cub was nt gd at hunting yet, and still needed fd frm his mther. One day, the she-wlf brught him a lynx (猞猁)kitten. While eating, he heard great nise. The kitten's mther had fllwed the she-wlf here. The she-wlf and the she-lynx started t fight, and they wuld fight t the death. He ran frward and bit ne f her legs. The bite was enugh t give the she-wlf the chance she needed. The lynx was dead, but the she-wlf was badly hurt. Fr a week, she did nt mve. The gray cub had t find fd fr bth f them.
Withut his mther t take care f him, he learnt what life was abut. Withut meat there was n life. Animals had t eat ther animals t survive. The law was: EAT OR BE EATEN.

Befre we uplad a pht f urselves t scial media, like WeChat, we'll use an app t smth ur skin, make ur eyes lk bigger, and give us lnger eyelashes and fuller lips. With a cuple f tuches n ur mbile phne, we're able t present the best pictures f urselves t thers.
Hwever, the prblem is, when we simply edit ur imperfectins (瑕疵) away, we're als changing the way we lk at ur urselves. (1).
Last mnth, researchers frm the US Bstn University published an article Selfies - Living in the Era f Filtered(滤镜)Phtgraphs. The article listed the bad effects f pht editing n peple and the pssibility t cause appearance wrries. (2).
The researchers think that these apps make it difficult t tell between reality and fantasy(虚幻).“These apps allw ne t change his r her appearance in minutes and fllw an unrealistic standard f beauty,” the article says. (3).
In the past, peple might cmpare their lks t thse wh were famus that time. But fr tday's yung peple, beauty standards are mst likely set by what they see n scial media.“Frm birth, they are brn int an age f scial platfrms, and their feelings are cnnected t hw gd they lk," a British dctr Esch said.
(4)“Nw yu've gt the cmparisn f yur real self t fake self that yu present n scial media," Renee Engeln, a prfessr at Nrthwestern University, tld the HuffPst website. He further pinted ut that when peple spend t much time cmparing with thers, they may becme “beauty sick” and find it difficult t accept what they actually lk like.
S when we lk in a real mirrr, we shuldn't think t urselves, "D I lk as gd as myself in the Beauty Cam(美颜)?" Instead, we shuld think, “I feel gd, I have-my health."
( )62. What may peple d befre they present the best f themselves n scial
A. Wearing false eyelashes.B. Redding their lips befre ging ut.
C. Using apps t edit phts.D.Smthing their skin in the mrning.
( )63.Where shuld we put the sentence “This is why many yung peple suffer
an appearance wrries when it cmes t hw they really lk."?
A.(4)B. (3) C.(2)D.(1)
( )64.Wh did peple use t cmpare their lks t?
Famus peple B. Peple wh they see n scial media.
C. Family members.D. Their friends.
( )65.What did the authr write this passage fr?
A. T call n peple t care mre abut appearance.
B. T call n peple nt t use apps n mbile phnes.
C. T call n peple t spend t much time cmparing with thers.
D. T call n peple t learn smething mre imprtant than appearance.

Eat mre healthily. Exercise twice a week. Read mre bks. Lse weight. We make the same reslutins (决心)every year, but mst f us fail, dying ut after nly a few days r, at mst, weeks. Even the mst successful amng us has difficulty achieving (达到)it when it cmes t persnal change. President Barack Obama struggles t get ut f his cigarette habit.
Prfessinals wh help peple make changes in their lives suggest the change is decided by ne's mind. Beginning with small gals r steps usually leads t a better result later, they say. But they ntice that the experience is different fr everyne.
“Peple are mre likely t make psitive(积极的)changes in their lives nt nly when their friends d, but when their friends f friends d, and when their friends f friends f friends d," said Nichlas Christakis, a prfessr f medical scilgy(医学社会学)at Harvard University. “Peple are better able t make changes in their lives-lse weight, give up smking, becme happy- when they d this with a large number f ther peple, and s using yur scial netwrk ties can be helpful t yur wn effrts."
Jhnny Augustin understands that well. His reslutin fr 2008 was t reduce 30 punds frm his 237-pund frame. But the change didn't cme easily. He said, “I’m a huge prcrastinatr, I kept putting it ff until tmrrw. I didn't get t d it until the summer." Hwever, Augustin was encuraged when he saw his lder brther wrking ut. Tday, Augustin weighs 190 punds.
“Of curse, change can happen nly if peple dn't set their gals t high r try t deal with t many changes at a time; ne f the biggest mistakes we make is setting unrealistic (不现实的)gals,”said Dalia Lilera, a psychlgist at Lesley University, "Yu can't achieve in a few weeks what yu haven't achieved in a few years, "said Lilera.
( )66. Frm the first paragraph we can infer that __.
A. change fr a persn is difficult B.famus peple have great reslutins
C. mst peple dn't want t change themselves D.nbdy can change himself
( )67. It is knwn frm Nichlas Christakis that _____.

C. friends can easily change ur minds abut smething
