Scientists have fund that plants can make sunds when smething bad happens t them. In ne study, scientists put sweet pepper and tmates in bxes tgether with special micrphnes (麦克风). These micrphnes can recrd sunds frm 20 t 250 kilhertz (千赫) while humans can nly hear sunds abut 16 kilhertz. There were three grups f plants: Grup 1 wasn’t watered fr ten days, Grup 2 had sme parts cut ff and Grup 3 was untuched. The micrphnes caught sunds frm 40 t 80 kilhertz frm the first tw grups. They made sunds abut 30 t 50 times an hur, while Grup 3 nly made sunds abut nce r twice an hur.
Plants have a different way t “talk” when they are under attack (攻击) . Back in 1983, tw scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reprted that when yung maple trees (枫树) are getting bitten by insects, they give ut special smell which is called VOCs, vlatile rganic cmpunds (挥发性有机化合物).

Studies shw that VOCs cming frm the injured parts f the plant can als help its neighbrs. Usually, the first plant being attacked gets hurt mst seriusly, but its neighbrs stay much safer because they “hear” the alarm (警报) and knw what t d.

Scientists have studied hw apes (猿) use gestures. But until recently, n research had been carried ut n humans’ ability t understand ape’s gestures. Researchers Kirsty and Catherine at the University f St. Andrews decided t wrk n it. 29
They created a game fr peple t play nline. The game was simple. 30 Then they had t chse the crrect meaning f the gesture ut f fur pssible answers. Fr the vides, the researchers chse 10 f the mst cmmn gestures used by apes.
