And they give us happy feelings back. But a recent study shows that its different for plants.A study, published in The Plant Journal, shows that plants dont “like” to be touched. Thats 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 percent.”Although the process does have a strong effect on plants, usually the plants survive. Touching changes the plants, but its 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 touching. And the research might “open up new ways to reduce sensitivity (敏感性) and improve growth in the future”, Science Alert reported.36 . Why did the scientists do the experiment?ATo test if touching can change the genes of plants.BTo show that plants and animals genes are different.CTo tell when touching has effect on plants and animals.DTo find out why some plants grow more slowly than others.37 . What did the scientists find in their experiment?ARepeated touching shortened the plants life by four weeks.BTouching slowed down plant growth by reducing energy for growth.CRepeated touching made plants die sooner than they were expected to.DMitochondria in the plants couldnt produce energy because of touching.38 . What do the scientists think of the fact that touch makes plants become shorter?AThe plants will be more likely to be attracted by insects.BThe plants will be more easily harmed by bad weather.CThe plants will be less sensitive to being touched.DThe plants will be better at fighting dangers.American SchoolsAmerican schools begin in September after a long summer holiday. There are two terms(学期) in a school year. The first term is from September to January, and the second is from February to June. Most American children begin to go to school when they are five years old. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they finish high school.High school students take only four or five subjects(学科) each term. They usually go to the same classes every day, and they have homework for every class. After class they do many interesting things.After high school, many students go to college(大学). They can go to a small one or a large one. They usually have to give a lot of money. So many college students work after class to get the money for their studies.39 .

Luckily for them, it didnt destroy (毁坏) anything and no one was hurt. But a large stone fell from a nearby mountain and stopped in the middle of the road. When the earthquake stopped, many people came to the road and saw the stone. Some of the strongest men wanted to move it away, they tried again and again but at last they failed. “Well,” they said sadly ,“theres nothing we can do about it, well have to change the way.” At this time a boy of 12 years old said , “ I think I can move the stone away.” “You?” all the strong men laughed at the boy, “What are you talking about ?”The next morning people were all surprised to see that the stone was gone. It wasnt on the road any longer and it wasnt even near the road. The boy smiled and said “Iburiedit.”The people looked rather surprised. “You see,” he said , “I dug (挖) a deep hole next to the stone and I dug a small incline (斜坡) up to the stone and the stone rolled down into the hole itself. Then I covered it with earth. “The villagers shouted “Clever boy! Clever boy!” and some of them said, “ Why didnt we think out this good idea ?”43 .
