【推荐2】The culture of tea

In different countries，people have very different ideas about drinking tea. In China，for example，tea is always served when people get together. The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at home or in tea houses. They prefer their tea plain with nothing else in it.

Tea is very important in Japan. The Japanese have a special way of serving tea called tea ceremony. It is very old and full of meaning. Everything must be done in a special way in the ceremony. There is even a special room for it in Japanese homes.

Another tea­drinking country is England，and the late afternoon is called “teatime”．Almost everyone has a cup of tea then. The English usually make tea in a teapot and drink it with milk and sugar. They also eat cakes，cookies and a few sandwiches at teatime.

【推荐2】We always think that it’s OK for us to leave our plants alone during our vacation. That’s because plants won’t scream (大叫) like pets, so they must be okay, right?

A recent study done by a group of scientists at the Tel Aviv University has found that some plants will scream in a high frequency (频率) when they are having stress.

The research was carried out on tomato plants and tobacco (烟草) plants by cutting their stems and taking water away from them. When they started cutting the stems, they found out that the plants started “screaming” between 20 and 100 kHz and they believe that this scream is meant to warn other plants nearby.

When the tomato plants’ stems were cut, 25 ultrasonic distress sounds (超声求救信号) were recorded during an hour, and on the other hand, 11 ultrasonic distress sounds were recorded from the tobacco plants.

When they took water away from the plants, the tomato plants recorded even more distress sounds with 35 distress sounds in an hour while the tobacco plants recorded 15 distress sounds.

The group of scientists then said that this changes the way we think of plants as we had always made sure that they are silent, but the thing is that their voices are too high to be heard.

1. Why do the plants scream according to the passage?

A．To take water away from them.	B．To help other plants feel better.
C．To tell other plants to be careful.	D．To record other plants’ scream.

2. What do we know about the tomato plants and the tobacco plants?

A．Tomatoes and tobaccos had the same screaming frequency.

B．Tobaccos responded the same under different kinds of stress.

C．Tobaccos gave out stronger distress sounds than tomatoes when out of water.

D．Tomatoes gave out stronger distress sounds than tobaccos when the stems were cut.

3. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?

A．The high frequency.	B．The scientists’ finding.
C．The distress sound.	D．The immediate danger.

4. How do the scientists do the study?

A．By doing tests.	B．By making guesses.
C．By telling stories.	D．By showing others’ opinions.

5. Where may the passage come from?
