【推荐1】When you hear the word “hero”, do you think of someone with super powers or someone you know?

“A hero is someone who, in spite of（尽管） weakness, doubt or not always knowing the answers, goes ahead and overcomes anyway.” said US actor Christopher Reeve, who was best known for playing Superman .

Facing the spread of novel coronavirus（新冠病毒）, everyone is afraid of deadly disease. But some choose to hold their fear down, stand out and fight the virus. They are known as “heroes in harm’ s way（最美逆行者）.”

Medical workers and scientists are always on the frontlines. Experts Zhong Nanshan, 84, and Li Lanjuan, 73, for example, have worked day and night to develop rapid test kits（快速检测盒）and treat severe（重症的） patients, doctor Zhang Wenhong from Shanghai tries to tell the public about the virus in a humorous way ; Li Wenliang and some other medical workers even lost their lives while fighting the epidemic（流行病）.

Besides these familiar names, many heroes are still unknown, although they have taken risks and played their own part. Construction（建筑）workers race against the time to build makeshift hospitals; volunteers try hard to help; and thousands of media workers keep the public the news and inspiring（感人的）stories.

The battle against an epidemic is hard. But as long as there are heroes and historic deeds, victory will come for sure.

【推荐2】Scientists have known for years that plants respond (回应) to sounds around them. But now scientists in Israel have shown that plants also seem to be doing some “talking”.

Professor Hadany and her team at Aviv University set up microphones to record tomato plants under different situations. The result showed that the plants made ultrasonic sound (超声波). When the researchers changed the sounds into ones that humans could hear, they heard sharp clicking noises.

As the scientists studied the sounds, they noticed the regularity. Plants hardly clicked when they had enough water. But as their soil got drier, they began to click.

When scientists cut off a stem (茎) from the plants, the plants also clicked more. But the clicking wasn’t the same as when the plants needed water. The result suggests that researchers might one day be able to use the plant’s sounds to find out when it is having trouble, and what trouble it is having. That could be very helpful to farmers.

The other research has shown that plants also make sounds to communicate in some ways. When insects attack a plant, it will give a warning to its neighbors. Soon, nearby plants start to make chemicals that don’t taste good to insects. It’s an effective (有效的) way for plants to protect themselves.

根据文章内容，判断句子正(T)，误(F)。
1. People can easily hear the sounds that the plants make without the help of technology.
2. The scientists found the plants couldn’t make the sounds “clicks” when the soil became drier.
3. The farming may develop fast if the plants’ sounds are put to good use.
4. It’s impossible that plants can protect their partners from insects’ harm through communication.
5. We can infer (推断) that the writer wants to increase the readers’ interest for nature science.
