In today’s Science class, we learnt that human beings have five senses. Our teacher, Mr. Smith, asked us to find out    1    plants have senses, too. After some research, I found that,     2    (like) human, plants have only one or two senses.

Some plants can see the light from the sun, and grow towards    3    . What is    4    (amaze) is that plants    5    like eating small insects can sense the soft touches of the insects on their leaves. After they sense the insects, they move their    6    (leaf) all of a sudden to catch them. It has also been discovered that some plants can feel whether the animals around them want to hurt them or not. No one really knows how the plants can do this. The results of a recent experiment    7    (carry) out by some Italian and German scientists are amazing.

It    8    (observe) that when some plants sense dangerous insects, they give    9    a kind of smell for protection—the smell can attract other insects in the distance which can kill the dangerous ones.

I never    10    (know) plants were so clever.

10 . In the winter of 1953, a powerful jump from a Chinese woman attracted world attention. Twenty-year-old Chinese athlete Zheng Fengrong broke the women’s high jump world record with a leap of 1.77 meters in a Beijing athletic meet on November 17, 1957. The new record, the first women’s world record for the People’s Republic of China, was one centimeter higher than the old mark held by American Mildred McDaniel. The jump also made Zheng the first Asian athlete to break a world track and field record since 1936.

The record jump, although by a tiny margin, was described by the foreign media as “an explosive jump” because it created China’s first athletic world record. Called “a spring swallow awakening Chinese sports,” Zheng sent a message to the world that China was no longer the “sick man of the East”.

Born in the spring city of Jinan, Shandong Province, Zheng, who stands at 1.70 meters, has a good physique (体型)and a skillful scissor-sharp jump which was seldom seen among top jumpers in the world. She once leapt 1.78 meters, a national record in 1963.

She claimed a well-merited place in sporting history when her achievement was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. Due to her contribution to athletics, Zheng was awarded a series of honors. She was named among the nation’s greatest athletes in 1984.

1. When did Zheng break the women’s high jump world record?

A．in 1936

B．in 1957

C．in 1963

D．in 1984

2. Who held the high jump world record before 1957?

A．Zheng Fengrong.	B．Guinness.
C．Mildred McDaniel.	D．Zheng’s best friend.

3. Zheng was named among the nation’s greatest athletes because of ________.

A．her contribution to athletics	B．her height
C．her hard work on study	D．her love for poor people

4. What’s the best title of this passage?

A．Zheng Fengrong’s life story	B．The athletic history of China
C．A happy family in Shandong	D．Zheng Fengrong’s achievement in athletics
