Research int whether the human vice helps plants isn’t decisive. Even s, there are cnvincing reasns that chatting with yur huseplants is gd fr them—and yu.
In a 2022 survey by trees.cm, 50 percent f the 1250 respndents reprted talking t their plants. When asked why, 65 percent said they believe it helps them grw. There search, hwever, isn’t definitive abut this pint. While studies have fund that vibratins （震动）caused by sund d affect plants, the jury is still ut n whether the human vice ffers any specific benefit.
Fr many plant wners, thugh, the science is beside the pint. Marquis Matsn, c-funder f the blg the Indr Nursery, says she talks t her plants every day because “it feels nice and I think plants get a sense f cmmunity frm my talking t them and that keeps them ging”. On the plant side, a study in a 2003 issue f the jurnal Ultrasnics investigated the effects f the classical music and the sunds f birds, insects and water n the grwth f Chinese cabbage and cucumber. Bth frms f sund expsure increased the vegetables’ grwth. In a 2015 study, researchers expsed marigld （金盏花）and chickpea（鹰嘴豆）plants t light Indian music as well as t traffic nise. They fund that bth types f plants grew and develped better after being expsed t the music fr fur hurs per day, but nt t the traffic sunds. “Plants abslutely respnd t vibratins in their envirnment—which can cause plants t grw differently and becme mre resistant t falling ver,” says Heidi Appel, leader f the study. She pints ut, “While sund abslutely matters t plants, we dn’t knw if talking t them makes them grw differently.”
Despite being shrt f studies abut the benefits f talking t yur plants, there is at least ne theretical bnus, “If we identify with a living rganism that we’re taking care f, we’re ging t take better care f it and help them thrive,” Appel says.

29. What d Marquis Matsn’s wrds suggest?

B. Chatting with the plants benefits bth sides.
C. Scientific research in this area makes n sense.
D. A sense f cmmunity is a must fr plants’ grwth.
30. What can be inferred frm Paragraph 3?
A. Traffic sunds prbably have a negative influence n plant grwth.
B. Talking t plants can make them mre sensitive t the envirnment.
C. Plants d nt fall ver because f the vibratins in their envirnment.
D. Classical music is gd fr plant grwth as sunds f nature d.
