But recent scientific studies have shown that plants communicate with each other and other living things in a surprising number of ways. To understand them, scientists say, we just have to learn their language. Farmers are especially interested in what plants have to say. ‎ ‎“Plants are able to communicate with all sorts of organisms. They can communicate with giant bacteria, with other plants and insects. They do this chemically, ” said Cahill, an Ecology Professor of the University of Alberta in Canada. ‎ Plant scientists are just beginning to understand this chemical “language”. Cahill says studies have shown, for example, that plants can evaluate conditions in their immediate environment and take appropriate actions. Plants have an ability, for example, to signal pain or discomfort caused by anything from temperature extremes to an insect attack. Jack ‎ Schultz, a professor of chemical ecology at the University of Missouri, says when a plant senses that it’s being eaten, it cannot walk away from trouble; on the contrary, it will release a chemical vapor that alerts other plants nearby. ‎ ‎“Their language is a chemical language, and it involves chemicals that move through the air that are easy to be changeable, and most of all are smells that we are familiar with, ” Schultz explained. ‎ ‎“All plants responded to the attack by changing their chemistry to defend themselves, ” Schultz recalled. “But we were quite surprised to find that nearby plants also changed their chemistry to defend themselves, even though they were not part of the experiment. ”‎ Studies have also shown that plants under attack release pleasant chemicals. Those chemicals attract friendly insects that attack the pests eating the plant. ‎ In the end, plants’ ability to communicate their needs—and our ability to understand them—could help farmers reduce the use of poisonous chemicals, cut operating costs and limit damage to the environment. ‎ ‎1. The recent scientific studies have shown that plants can ____________. ‎ A. communicate with other living things in a chemical way B. hardly react to any sudden change in temperature C. use a very special chemical language which is familiar to us D. respond to the attack by giving off poisonous chemicals ‎2. When being eaten by an insect, the plant will ___________. ‎ A. walk away from trouble ‎ B. change its chemistry to kill the insect C. release a chemical vapor to “ask” other plants for help D. give off nice chemicals to attract friendly insects killing the pest ‎3. The underlined word “alerts” most probably means “____________”. ‎ A. warns B. protects C. threatens D. allows ‎4. Which would be the best title for the passage? ‎ A. Communication between Plants B. A Chemical “Language” ‎ C. Plants Can Talk D. How Plants Protect Themselves ‎(B)‎ 体裁 应用文 题材 广告类 词数 ‎283‎ BFA Organic School‎ ‎Gardens Starter Where: Melbourne, VIC Starts: ‎01/02/2012‎ at 12: 00‎ In May 2010, the Biological Farmers of Australia(BFA) started the BFA Organic School Gardens Program—a free organic gardening program available to all Australian primary schools and anyone with an interest in organic gardening. ‎ The program is designed for students aged 8～12 years and provides practical support to schools with detailed lessons.‎ ‎ Funding is available to assist schools that require assistance. ‎ Keeper for a Day Price: $102. 00‎ Starts: ‎24/01/2012‎ at 09: 30‎ Teenagers are keen to find out what it takes to work in a zoo caring for animals are invited to come out to Werribee Open Range Zoo next school holidays. ‎ Keeper for a Day allows participants to work in the zoo for ‎ the day, helping out our zookeepers and learning about one of the most rewarding jobs at a zoo. ‎ You will go behind-the-scenes taking part in many daily duties of a zookeeper including ‎·Food preparation ‎·Health checks ‎·Animal contact Be prepared for the smell, sweat and of course, a whole lot of fun! ‎ Kids Go Wild ‎Holiday Price: $66. 00‎ Starts: ‎24/01/2012‎ at 08: 30‎ Children aged 5 to 12 will have an action packed day, visit secret areas of the zoo, meet animals up close, chat to zookeepers, take part in craft and games, and have fun with other kids who are as wild about animals as they are!‎ Kids Go Wild Holiday runs every weekday of the school holidays! ‎ Please call 9285 9406 to book. ‎ Create Habitat for Eastern Barred Bandicoots Price: free Starts: ‎02/02/2012‎ at 08: 00‎ Help to create habitat(栖息地) for the endangered Eastern Barred Bandicoot(纹袋狸) at Woodlands Historic Park in Melbourne. ‎ Activities include building a fence, removing weeds and planting native plants to create a suitable environment for the bandicoots to become a wild species again! ‎ ‎5.
