Elijah was a smart boy. But he was self-centered and had a very bad temper(脾气). When he got angry, he
usually did some hurtful things. So, nobody wanted to be friends with him.
Elijah’s parents were worried about that. Finally, the father had an idea. He gave Elijah a bag of nails and a big
hammer. “Every time you get angry,” he told the boy, “I want you to really let it out. Just take a nail and drive it
into the oak(橡木) boards of that old fence in the back yard. Hit that nail as hard as you can!” The hammer was
heavy, so it wasn’t as easy as it first sounded. However, by the end of the first day, Elijah had driven 37 nails into
the fence.
,
Gradually the number became less. Holding his temper was easier than driving nails into the fence. Finally,
the day came when Elijah didn’t lose his temper at all. “Now every time when you hold your temper all day long,
pull out one nail,” his father told Elijah.
Much time has passed. At last, Elijah could be proud of himself as all the nails were gone. When he told his
father about it, his father asked him to walk into the yard and take one more good look at the fence. “You have done
well, my son,” his father said. “But I want you to notice the holes that are left, this fence will never be the same.

Plants are certainly interesting and we have lots to learn about how they work, but can one plant pass along a
message to another plant? Can that second plant receive the information and understand what it means? Modern
research shows that they do communicate with each other and the two most important plant communication
methods are chemicals and sounds.
Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young tree saplings (幼苗) getting
bitten by insects could produce chemicals. Some chemicals moved through the plant causing other parts of the plant
to produce a natural pesticide (除虫剂) which would discourage further feeding by insects. The chemicals also
moved through the air. You and I wouldn’t notice, but these insects chemicals carried a slight smell that
neighboring plants could notice and produced pesticides too. Over the past 20 years, scientists have found that
many kinds of plants produce chemicals when they’re being attacked (袭击). It’s a plant’s way of crying out. But is
anyone listening? Of course. Because the damage (伤害) is usually seen on the first plant, the neighbors stay well.
A new research, published in the journal Trends in Plant Science, has shown that plants also communicate
第4页/共8页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司with each other by making “clicking” sounds, which cannot be heard by the human ear, but they can be picked up
by other plants. Using powerful loudspeakers, researchers were able to hear clicking sounds coming from the roots
of corn saplings. Researchers also found that when they hung the young roots in water and played a continuous
noise at 220 Hz, a similar frequency (频率) to the plant clicks, they found that the plants grew towards the source
of the sound.
Plants are really great communicators. They are giving out lots of useful information to the environment. We
are only just beginning to understand how this information is produced and how it is then picked up by other plants
who can use it for their own benefit. So, the next time you step on some grass or pick a flower, remember that the
poor plant might be crying at its neighbors, but we humans just cannot hear it!
27. Many plants ________ when they are bitten by insects.
A. give out chemicals
.
B kill the insects with leaves
C. produce an awful smell
D. learn nothing about the attack
28. What do you know about plants from the passage? ________
A. Plants have no natural abilities to protect themselves from insects.
B. The roots of the corn make clicking sounds when they are attacked.
C. Both chemicals and sounds made by plants are hardly noticed by people.
D. The same damage can usually be seen on a plant and its neighboring plants.
.
29 Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? ________
A. Why Do Plants Send Messages?
B. Do Plants Speak to Humans?
C. How Do Plants Communicate?
D. Do Plants Like Neighbors?
We all love our parents: our parents love us too. Things, however, can still be wrong if both parents and
children are not used to their ways of expressing love in the right way. With parent-children relationships, the
importance of it is even more.
Different people have different ways of expressing love. The way someone expresses love is referred to as the
language of love. In the book The Five Love Languages, the writer Gary Chapman states the five key love
languages people use are: words of affirmation (肯定), quality time (spent together), receiving gifts, acts of service
and physical touch.
Being brought up in a different generation, it’s not surprising to know our language of love is likely different
第5页/共8页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司from our parents’. For example, my parents express their love by acts of service. They like to do things for me. For
me, I express love by giving words of affirmation. I also use other ways to express my love, but communicating in
the form of words is the primary method I use. I’m always telling them how much I love them.
This difference created a big rift between us at the beginning. I would try to communicate with them, but get
nothing in return. In turn, they kept trying to do things like buying food for me and cooking for me, but I would be
impatient of their preference for food. It wasn’t until I recognized their underlying intentions(意图) that things
changed.
What do you think represents love to your parents? Rather than “speak” to your parents in your language of
love, speak to them in their language of love. This means if their language of love is quality time together, then
spend more time with them. If their language of love is receiving gifts, then buy a small gift that means something
to both of you. If their language of love is words of affirmation, give them a compliment(称赞). They will be able
to recognize your intentions more easily that way, and accept them more readily.
Don’t force them to accept a language they cannot recognize. An example would be to insist on hugging them
when they’re clearly uncomfortable with the idea. While you may have the best intentions, you just force them to
accept your beliefs.
Learn to “speak” to them in their language, not in your language. You’ll get much better and faster results this
way.

A. parents and children love each other

Linh Nguyen is a 14-year-old girl from Hanoi, Vietnam. She won the 2022 International Young Eco-Hero
Awards, which recognize young people 8 to 16 years old for their environmental achievements.
Since sixth grade, Linh’s dream has been to help trees. When she was young, Linh traveled with her family to
several forests. However, when she returned to her home in the city of Hanoi, she realized that many children there
would never be able to breathe the cool forest air and would not understand the value of forests and the need to
protect forest ecosystems(生态系统).
So, with two friends, all 12 years old at the time, she developed, wrote and provided money for the publication
of the book A Piece of Forest for You. The book provides interesting information for children about what a forest
is, its trees, plants, and animals, and why its protection is important. It received a lot of media attention, the first
2,000 copies sold out, and now the book is in its second printing. Over 4,000 dollars in book sales was given to the
Forest Plantation Fund. Linh continued to visit schools and festivals to increase the popularity of the book.
“I hope that through the book, I can provide knowledge for young people,especially children living in cities,
so that the younger generation can understand, love and protect forests. Besides, through the sale of books, I want
to raise money to plant more trees in the forest.” Before publishing the book, Linh was already well-known in
Hanoi for calling for the head teachers of schools to not release(放飞) balloons during opening ceremonies in order
to protect the environment and wildlife. Many schools have now been involved.
At the end of July 2022, she received the Vietnam Environment Award, the highest environmental award for
individuals presented by the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment.
