    We usually think that plants always stay quiet and never speak. Grass doesn't cry when you cut it; flowers don't shout when they're picked. But this view of the world couldn't be more wrong. Plants talk to each other all the time. Their language is one of chemicals.

    Over the years, scientists have found that different types of plants, from trees to tomatoes, send compounds(复合物)into the air to help neighboring plants. But exactly how plants receive and act on many of these signals is still a mystery.

    Scientists from Kyoto University in Japan looked at tomato plants that had been bitten by insects. To start out, they grew plants in two plastic bags connected by a tube(管子). One plant had been bitten by insects. The other was not bitten.

    They found that when insects bite plant leaves, the plants don't sit quietly. They send a chemical called "hexvic" into the air. Humans can't notice it, but these chemicals carry a smell that neighboring plants can notice. This way, neighboring plants realize the danger and begin to give off more "hexvic" to protect themselves.

    The same scientists continued their research by placing insects on the plants that had not been bitten. The plants were able to kill nearly 50 percent of the invaders, much more than their neighbor.

    It was surprising that the plants that had not been bitten didn't send the chemical until the received a warning message from their infested(受侵的)neighbor, the scientists said. These findings could be used to help farmers with the control of the insects which do harm to their plants.

    Studying different languages increases our understanding of how humans communicate and their different cultures. However, almost 80% of the people in the world speak only 1% of its languages.  Every 14 days a language dies. By 2100, half of the more than 7, 000 languages spoken on Earth today may disappear.

    Throughout history, the languages of dominant(统治的)groups have spread while the languages of native cultures have becomeextinct. This happens because of government language policies, or because the dominant language becomes more useful in everyday life. Furthermore, many endangered languages aren't written down. When the last speakers of a language die and their language becomes extinct, their stories, songs, and other important information are lost, too.

    Central South America has some of the world's most endangered languages. The Kallawaya people speak a secret language that has details of thousands of medical plants. Today, fewer than 100 people speak it. In Central and Eastern Siberia, many Siberian languages now have only a few elderly speakers. Yuchi, which may be unrelated to any other language in the world, is one of the many native languages used in Oklahoma, the U.S.A. It is disappearing rapidly. In 2010, only five elderly people could speak this language.

    Luckily, native cultures around the world are using modern technology to help keep their endangered languages and cultures alive. Communities are creating dictionaries and libraries by using pictures, video, and audio to record the traditions of the last speakers of their language. If the young people don't speak and understand the words and stories of their ancestors(祖先), the language will die.

    And when the language dies, part of the culture dies, too.

阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项,使短文通顺、连贯,意思完整。

    Joe was a farmer. He hadn't had good harvest for years. "If God let me control the weather, everything will get better, "he said angrily,""

    God heard his words and replied, "Well, you can be in charge of the weather for a year. Let's see what your crops grow like. "

    On hearing this, Joe was too surprised to believe what he heard. He shouted "Sunny!" Suddenly the clouds went away. In the following year, he changed the weather between sunny and rainy.

    He looked forward to a big harvest. But when the harvest season came, his heart sank to find his crops had not grown any grain at all. Feeling quite puzzled and disappointed, he started crying.

   

    "Didn't you have your wish to control the weather? "God asked again. "Yes, but I just can't understand it. How could it be?" Joe wondered. "That's because you never asked for wind, rainstorm, snow or anything that could make the roots stronger. "

    From the story we can learn: Only through life's challenges can we succeed in harvesting the fruit of life. It takes both ups and downs to get satisfactory results.

A. Once again, God heard him.

B. But he still wanted to have a try.

C. I know better than God does because I am a clever farmer.

D. Without strong roots, of course they couldn't grow anything.

E. Watching his crops growing bigger and bigger, he felt satisfied.
