They care little about listening. A research about our waking day communicating time shows that 9% is spent writing, 16% reading, 30% talking and 45% listening.Many of us can remember only 50% immediately after hearing something.

Simard and her colleagues have made the major discovery that trees and plants really do communicate and interact with each other.Trees live on through their group work and support, passing around the resources such as nitrogen and carbon “depending on who needs it by miles of underground fungi（真菌） networks. This makes sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons（神经元） in our brains, and when one tree is cut down, it affects all.Simard talks about Mother Trees. These are the largest, oldest trees that rise above the forest, a concept explained in the movie Avatar. These “Mother Trees are connected to all the other trees in the forest by this network of fungi, and may manage the resources of the whole trees and plants in the forest. She explains how these trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important resources to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down Mother Trees without paying attention to these highly complex tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are losing the chances to save the whole forest.We didnt take any notice of it,” Simard says sadly. “Mother Trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them a chance.” If we could send this message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.（1）Trees can share resources with other ones by .A . the help from animalsB . underground fungi networksC . the communication with peopleD . neurons in the system of brains（2）Mother Trees are very important because they .A . bring wealth to the scientists B . pass on nutrition to young treesC . get more from the complex “tree societies” D . seem more likely to be cut down by humans（3）The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .A . how trees grow oldB . how tree societies workC . how young trees are savedD . how forestry industry develops（4）What would be the best title for the passage?A . Trees Are Rich in ResourcesB . Trees Are Good for Our SocietyC . Trees Are in Need of ProtectionD . Trees Are More Complex Than We Think5. （10分） The hottest place in the world is the Sahara Desert in Africa. But there are deserts in many other places: in America, in Asia and in Australia.
