In fact, plants are not always     2    . A recent study has found plants shout when they are in need of water or having their stems cut. “Even in a quiet field, there are    3     some sounds that carry information. However, the pitch (音高) is too high for people     4    ,” said Lilach Hadany, a professor from Tel Aviv University.

They also trained a machine in     6     the differences between thirsty plants and cut plants. The result shows that when the causes of stress change, they shout     7    .
