　　When a leafy plant is under attack ，it doesn’t

　　sit quietly. Back in 1983,two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant

　　and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short.

　　Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It’s a plant’s way of crying out. But is anyone listening? Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbours react.

　　Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned .The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.

　　In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors ,relatively speaking ,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.

　　Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.

　　Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(親密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.

　　24. What does a plant do when it is under attack?

　　A. It makes noises.

　　B. It gets help from other plants.

　　C. It stands quietly

　　D. It sends out certain chemicals.

　　25. What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?

　　A. The attackers get attacked.

　　B. The insects gather under the table.

　　C. The plants get ready to fight back.

　　D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.

　　26.Scientists find from their studies that plants can

　　.

　　A.predict natural disasters

　　B.protect themselves against insects

　　C.talk to one another intentionally

　　D.help their neighbors when necessary

　　27.what can we infer from the last paragraph?

　　A.The word is changing faster than ever.

　　B.People have stronger senses than before

　　C.The world is more complex than it seems

　　D.People in Darwin’s time were more imaginative.

　　After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.

　　Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.

　　The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk（麋鹿） populations — major food sources (來源) for the wolf – grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’ s red foxes, and completely drove away the park’ s beavers.

　　As early as 1966,biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park.They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems.Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.

　　The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolvers. The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone.Today,the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone.Elk,deer,and coyote populations are down,while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback.The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.

　　28.What is the text mainly about?

　　A.Wildlife research in the United States.

　　B.Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.

　　C.The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.

　　D.The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.

　　29.What does the underlined word “displaced” in paragraph 2 mean?

　　A.Tested.

　　B.Separated.

　　C.Forced out.

　　D.Tracked down.

　　30.What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about？

　　A.Damage to local ecology.

　　B.A decline in the park’s income.

　　C.Preservation of vegetation.

　　D.An increase in the variety of animals.

　　31.What is the author’s attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project？

　　A.Doubtful.

　　B.Positive.

　　C.Disapproving.

　　D.Uncaring.

　　Your house may have an effect on your figure . Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off . You can make your environment work for you instead of against you . Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.

　　Open the curtains and turn up the lights . Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating , for people are often less self-conscious（難為情）when they’re in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food . If your home doesn’t have enough window light , get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.

　　Mind the colors . Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites . In one study , people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room . Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing , while cold colors make us feel less hungry . So when it’s time to repaint , go blue.

　　Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里） per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down , turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.

　　Downsize the dishes, Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake（攝入） jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.

　　32.The text is especially helpful for those who care about_______.

　　A. their home comforts

　　B. their body shape

　　C. house buying

　　D. healthy diets

　　33.A home environment in blue can help people_________.

　　A.digest food better
