13、Human, Don’t Come too Close

Frequent touching from humans may

change plants’ genes and slow their

growth.

When we see babies or pets, we can’t help gently touching them to show our love. And they give us happy feelings back. But a recent study shows that it’s different for plants.

A study, published in The Plant Journal, shows that plants don’t “like” to be touched. That’s because touching changes their genes (基因) and, even worse, can slow their growth.

Professor Jim Whelan of the La Trobe Institute in Australia gave an explanation. “The lightest touch from a human, animal, insect, or even plants touching each other in the wind, leads to a huge gene change in the plant,” Science Daily reported.

In order to test the theory, the scientists did an experiment on plants. They grew a number of plants to the age of four weeks. Then they touched them with a paintbrush every 12 hours over a 36-hour period.

They found that as a response to the touch, the mitochondria (线粒体) in the plants had been partly destroyed. The mitochondria, as Science Alert noted, are the “powerhouse of the cell (细胞)”. The mitochondria produce energy for the rest of the cell in both animals and plants.

If this “powerhouse” is weakened, the plants will lose a large amount of energy that should have

supported their growth. Whelan further explained to Science Daily, “If the touching is repeated, then plant growth is reduced by up to 30 per cent.”

Although the process does have a strong effect on plants, usually the plants survive. Touching changes the plants, but it’s not necessarily a bad change.

According to Science Alert, frequent touching or moving plants will make them grow shorter than other ones. The researchers believe this change, in some way, could be helpful. It may help plants fight threats to their health such as insects and bad weather.

The new research findings have led to a deeper understanding of the plants’ response to touch ing. And the research might “open up new ways to reduce sensitivity (敏感性) and improve growth in the future”, Science Alert reported.

1．Why did the scientists do the experiment?

A．To test if touching can change the genes of plants.

B．To show that plants’ and animals’ genes are different.

C．To tell when touching has effect on plants and animals.

D．To find out why some plants grow more slowly than others.

2．What did the scientists find in their experiment?

A．Repeated touching shortened the plants’ life by four weeks.

B．Touching slowed down plant growth by reducing energy for growth.

C．Repeated touching made plants die sooner than they were expected to.

D．Mitochondria in the plants couldn’t produce energy because of touching.

3．What do the scientists think of the fact that touch makes plants become shorter?

A．The plants will be more likely to be attracted by insects.

B．The plants will be more easily harmed by bad weather.

C．The plants will be less sensitive to being touched.

D．The plants will be better at fighting dangers.

15、In some science fiction movies, evil robots refuse to die, no matter how hard people fight back.

Now science fiction has become science fact. For the first time, scientists have made a robot that can take a beating (挨打) and keep on going. Scientists from Cornell University made the robot, which looks like a spider with four legs.

Until now, even the most advanced (先进的) robot was almost certain to break down when it was damaged. That is because its computer inside simply do esn’t know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed.

To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors (发动机) and two sensors (传感器) that read how the machine is working. They all give signals to the machine’s software. Using this in formation, the

computer can then figure out the machine’s shape at any moment.

The new technology is a big advance in robot-making, scientists say, and it’s far from scary. It may someday help scientists create better artificial (假的) arms and legs and give new freedom to people who losethem. It might also help scientists understand how people and animals figure out their own sense of place in space. “It has been difficult to design robots that can work well when the environment changes or when it’s damaged,” says Olaf Sporns of Indiana University in US. “With this work, we are nearer to solving this problem.”

1．Why do robots easily break down when they are damaged?

A．They cannot repair themselves.

B．The computer has changed a lot.

C．They have no computers inside.

D．The computer cannot work if the robot changes.

2．The new technology allows the robot to _________.

A．do house work for humans

B．keep working after being damaged

C．remember a lot of information

D．tell people where it is

3．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________.

A．sensors B．robots

C．arms and legs D．scientists

4．How do the sensors in the robot work?

A．They can replace the computer when it’s broken.

B．They can find out where the damage comes from.

C．They help the computer lea rn the robot’s condition.

D．They can send signals to the person who uses the robot.

5．The passage is probably from_____________.

A．a newspaper B．an advertisement

C．a tour guide D．an application

17、In many countries, people celebrate Screen-Free Week. It is on the first week of May every year. People are encouraged to turn off screens during the week.

Supporters of Screen-Free Week say turning off tech devices（设备）is good for kids. According to a study, kids slept better and got better grades when their parents limited（限制）their screen time. Also, some people think Screen-Free Week can help kids develop a good habit. They point out that many kids who took part in the event in the past now spend less time using tech devices.

However, not everyone supports the idea. Some people argue that screen time is OK as long as kids don’t overdo（滥用）it. Also, others say turning off tech devices completely for a week won’ t teach kids how to balance（兼顾）screen time with other activities.

Here’s what two students think:

YES! Kids spend too much time in front of screens. According to a study, kids spend about seven hours a day in front of TVs, computers and other devices. Instead of sitting around playing video games, kids should be more active. They can make art, play sports or hang out with friends and family.

Davis, 14, New York

NO! Not all screen time is bad for kids. There are many educational television shows, apps and websites which help kids learn. Besides, it’s important for kids to use tech devices, because many jobs depend on knowing how to use technology. Instead of wor king on cutting kids’ screen time, parents should help kids learn to use tech devices wisely.

18、As a kid，I read a story of a bird. It described a male bird which takes a lot of pain to build a house and the female bird takes care of the baby in it. When the baby bird learns to fly，the whole family flies off to a different place leaving behind the beautiful nest for other birds to grow their family in it. It made me confused(困惑的)：How could they so easily give up their house built with so much effort?

One night，I got this dream. I was walking on the endless road with beautiful trees on the either side. Attracted by the greenery，I went on，then I saw a wonderful house. I explored the house. There was a sloping(斜的) roof which matched with the greenery around；the large central open yard reminded me of the activities that might have taken place there which felt lively even now. The small water body that kept the house cool added to the beauty of the house — of course，it was all dried up now. Such liveliness turns the house into a home. People say “THE HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS”，and now I felt it and was attracted deeply.

When I woke up from the dream，I was clear about everything. I realized what message my dream wanted to convey(传递) me. And years later，when I chose my career，I thought of the story of the bird and my dream，then I was sure what to do. I decided to choose architectureas my career. I wanted to do the same thing that the male bird in the story did，to take pain in building a beautiful house and let others stay in it. My dream comes true and the happiness that I gain now from this career is great.

1．When the writer read the story of the bird，he felt _______.

A．bored B．confused C．amazed D．worried

2．In the writer's dream，what part of the house attracted him most?

A．The sloping roof of the house.

B．The body of water that keeps the house cool.

C．The large central open yard.

D．The liveliness that he felt around the house.

3．The underlined word “architecture” in Paragraph 3 means _______ in Chinese.

A．考古B．天文C．建筑D．艺术

4．The passage is mainly about _______.

A．how the bird could give up their house easily

B．how the writer finally becomes an honest citizen

C．what we need to do when we choose our career

D．why the writer chooses architecture as his career
