When we see babies r pets, we can't help gently tuching them t shw ur lve. And they give us happy feelings back. But a recent study shws that it's different fr plants.
A study, published in The Plant Jurnal, shws that plants dn't "like" t be tuched. That's because tuching changes their genes(基因)and, even wrse, can slw their grwth.
Prfessr Jim Whelan f the La Trbe Institute in Australia gave an explanatin. "The Lightest tuch frm a human, animal, insect, r even plants tuching each ther in the wind, leads t a huge gene change in the plant," Science Daily reprted
In rder t test the thery, the scientists did an experiment n plants. They grew a number f plants t the age f fur weeks. Then they tuched them with a paintbrush every 12 hurs ver a 36-hur perid.
They fund that as a respnse t the tuch, the mitchndria(线粒体)in the plants had been partly destryed. The mitchndria, as Science Alert nted, are the "pwerhuse f the cell. The mittchndria prduce energy fr the rest f the cell in bth animals and plants.
If this "pwerhuse" is weakened, the plants will lse a large amunt f energy that shuld have supprted their grwth.
Whelan further explained t Science Daily, "If the tuching is repeated, then plant grwth is reduced by up t 30 percent.
Althugh the prcess des have a strng effect n plants, usually the plants survive. Tuching changes the plants, but it's nt necessarily a bad change.
Accrding t Science Alert, frequent tuching r mving plants will make them grw shrter than ther nes.
The researchers believe this change, in sme ways, culd be helpful. It may help plants fight threats t their health such as insects and bad weather.
The new research findings have led t a deeper understanding f the plants' respnse t tuching. And the research might "pen up new ways t reduce sensitivity(敏感性)and ptimize(优化) grwth in the future", Science Alert reprted.
34. Why dn't plants like t be tuched?
A. Plants' genes will be changed.
B. Plants will grw much taller than thers.
C. Plants grwth will be reduced by up t 40 percent.
D. Plants will lsc the ability t fight against bad weather.
35. What des the underlined wrd "weakened" in Paragraph 6 pssibly mean?
A. Becming strnger. B. Becming less strng.
C. Becming less changeable. D. Becming mre changeable.
36. What can we get frm the new research?
A. A new way t increase sensitivity in the future.
B.A ttally bad and strng influence n plants' grwth.
C. A wnderful methd t help plants grw better and better.
D.A deeper understanding f the plants' respnse t tuching

Mre and mre peple believe that technlgies are great fr learning. Tday, such teaching tls as iPads are used in a lt f curses, including language, histry and science.
Many teachers are supprters f using iPads in language learning. They say that students nw have much mre time fr discussin in the classrm. Instead f spending valuable class time listening t texts r watching teaching vides,students can d this n their wn and cme t class prepared fr discussin.
The teachers als say that iPads allw students t learn at their wn pace.Sme students might listen t a dialgue nly nce and understand it, s they can save time fr ding ther things. Other students, hwever, might need t listen t the same dialgue again and again t understand it. Using iPads is especially helpful t students wh are learning a language at different paces.
The students wh are using the new tl in sme curses are als happy. They believe that using iPads is a mre enjyable way t learn (such as listening t stries and watching mvies). The class has becme much mre interesting and creative.
There are ther advantages fr students. By using iPads, they can pay mre attentin t the material and learn mre. Teaching ntes are stred in their iPads and are easy t find. Sme students spend mre time studying nw. “I can listen t my language material r watch teaching vides n the bus, instead f having t wait until l get hme," a student explained.
Many adults cmplain that technlgies such as iPads are ding harm t students. They wrry that students might use iPads t dwnlad teaching ntes and use them t cheat during exams. Sme believe that iPads may separate students frm each ther. If a student spends mre time watching vides n an iPad, he will have fewer pprtunities t have face-t-face cmmunicatin with thers.
Hwever,technlgies are already a part f mst students’ day-t-day lives. As fr cheating,teachers can ask students t hand in their iPads when they take exams. Educatin needs t make changes with the times as technlgy is playing an imprtant part. We shuld lk frward t a wnderful future when iPads and ther technlgies can add a lt t the classrm.
37. What des the expressin “at their wn pace” in Paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Accrding t their wn timetable.B.Withut their teachers' help.
C.Because f their wnderful gals.D.Against their parents' hpe.
