Can trees talk? Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars (毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell---a signal causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.

Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar (花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn’t trees have ways of sending message?

67. It can be concluded from the passage that caterpillars do not feed on leaves that ______.

A. are lying on the ground

B. have an unpleasant taste

C. bees don’t like

D. have a n unfamiliar shape

68. The willow tree described in the passage protected itself by ______.

A. growing more branches

B. communicating with birds and bees

C. changing its leaf chemistry

D. shaking caterpillars off

69. According to this passage, bees communicate by ______.

A. making special movement

B. touching one another

C. smelling one another

D. making unusual sound

70. The author believes that the incident described in the passage ______.

A. cannot be taken seriously

B. should no longer be permitted

C. must be checked more thoroughly

D. seems completely reasonable

One possible version:

Safety is very important. We often hear people say “safety first”. As a middle school student, we should learn to protect ourselves from every possible danger. Here are some things I do. I hope you can follow them.

On your way to school and home. You should obey the traffic rules. You should walk on the right side of the road. Don’t ride your bike too fast.

During school, you can’t fight with each other. Don’t play with fire. Don’t bring knife to school. Don’t go out of school without your teacher’s permission.

When you are at home, remember not to ask the door for strangers. Don’t give your home address, phone number or personal information to anybody else too casually.
