In the wilderness, everyone has a stunt(绝招). Even plants have their own ways of fighting off enemies.Over millions of years of evolution(进化), plants have developed a unique defence system. Chemicals are widely used for survival. By making their leaves, flowers, roots and fruits poisonous to enemies, plants can fight back.One such plant is the Golden Wattle tree, British scientist David Caneron has found when an animal eats the trees leaves, the amount of poison increase in the other leaves. “Its like the injured leaves telephoning the others telling them to fight together against the enemy,” he said.The tree also sends defence messages to neighboring plants by giving out a special smell. Golden Wattle trees in the nearby 45 meters will get the message and produce more poison within 10 minutes. Now, if an enemy eats too many of the trees leaves, it will die.Every species of plant or tree is good at producing a special set of chemicals. A herbivore that can safely eat the leaves of one tree may be poisoned by its neighbor.In this way, plants have developed not only their own defence system, but also shared with others. This makes it impossible for a single animal to destroy even a small area of forest. 30. According to the study, if one Golden Wattle tree is attacked by animals, it can _.A. tell other trees to protect itB. produce more poison within 10 minutesC. sent defence messages to the neighboring plantsD. kill the animals with its leaves31. In this passage the underlined word “herbivore” probably means animals which_.A. live on both animals and plants. B. feed on smaller animalsC. live on trees. D. feed on plants or grass32. The last paragraph of the passage suggests that this kind of defence system_.A. does great harm to the animals B. does good to the forestsC. is helpful to some animals D. harms the forestsDSkateboarding has become one of several nontraditional activities that PE teachers around America are introducing to encourage kids to exercise regularly. Some PE classes include in-line skating, yoga, and even rock climbing. Experts have called those types of activities “the new PE”.Such activities are part of a larger effort to help kids develop lifelong health habits and to keep them from becoming too heavy. Now, 9 million U.S. children and teens are overweight. Obesity (肥胖) can lead to health problems such as diabetes and heart disease later in life.“Our children and youth are becoming unhealthy and obese,” says Lindsey Johnson. “Skateboarding is a great activity that keeps kids doing physical movement and gives them new skills and interest.”Some schools dont allow skateboarding because they say it is dangerous. Cendali, however, argues that regular practice eliminates（减少） a great deal of the danger. “We teach students how to do it and how to do it safely,” he says.Some people say skateboarding teaches life lessons. “Skateboarding teaches kids to believe that if they stick with something they will finally succeed,” says education expert Richard Sagor of Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon.Skateboarding encourages kids not to give up in learning difficult skills. “Its natural for kids to want to learn and get better at things,” adds Sagor. “When kids go to skateboarding, theyll try a trick hundreds of times before they succeed.” That same effort could be made in schoolwork.Eric Klassen agrees that skateboarding requires kids to stop saying a task is too hard for them. “A baby will try to walk 600 to 900 times before he or she is successful,” says Klassen. “We tell students that they shouldnt say I cant do it unless theyve tried 600 to 900 times.”33. Skateboarding is introduced into American schools to _.A. encourage students to play bravely in competitionB. teach students how to deal with dangerC. stop students suffering from heart disease later in lifeD. help students develop the habit of doing sports34. What life lesson do kids learn from skateboarding?A. In order to succeed in life you have to learn skateboarding.B. You will succeed in life if you dont give up.C. Only after failing 600 to 900 times can you succeed.D. There is no hard work after learning skate-boarding well.35. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The dangerous PEB. Skills of skateboardingC. The new PED.
