A

We tend to think of plants as the furniture of the natural world.They don’t move，they don’t make sounds and they don’t seem to respond to anything—at least not very quickly.But as is often the case，our human’s view of the world misses quite a lot.Plants talk to each other all the time.And the language is chemical.

Over the years，scientists have reported that different types of plants，from trees to tomatoes，release compounds(化合物) into the air to help neighboring plants.These chemical warnings all have the same purpose — to spread information about one plant’s disease or infestation so other plants can defend themselves.But exactly how plants receive and act on many of these signals is still mysterious.

In this week’s Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences，researchers in Japan offered some explanations.They had identified one chemical message and traced it all the way from release to action.

The scientists looked at tomato plants infested by a common pest，the cutworm.The researchers studied leaves from exposed and unexposed plants.They found one compound showed up more often in the exposed plants.The substance is called HexVic.When the scientists fed HexVic to cutworms，it knocked down their survival rate by 17%.The scientists identified the source of HexVic，and sprayed it lightly over healthy plants.Those plants were then able to start producing the cutworm-killing HexVic.Researchers confirmed that uninfected plants have to build their own weapons to fight off bugs and disease.How do they know when to play defense? They are warned first by their friendly plant neighbors.

It is a complex tale，and it may be happening in more plant species than tomatoes.It may also be happening with more chemical signals that are still unknown to us.Further studies are needed to increase agricultural efficiency.

56．How do plants warn their neighbors?

A．They make use of winds.

B．They release some chemicals.

C．They identify the chemicals.

D．They are exposed early.

57．What’s the function of HexVic?

A．It damages the cutworm’s body.

B．It shows up more.

C．It cures the disease.

D．It sprays over healthy plants.

58．It can be inferred from the text that________．

A．there are not chemical signals

B．the phenomenon may be happening in less plant species than tomatoes

C．farmers may benefit from the further studies

D．plants are warned first by their neighbors

59．The passage is likely to appear in ________．

A．a newspaper advertisement

B．a physics textbook

C．a science magazine

D．a finance report

B

Consumers everywhere are faced with the same dilemma：given limited resources，what sorts of purchases are most likely to produce lasting happiness and satisfaction? Recent research has confirmed that experiential purchases tend to produce greater hedonic (享乐的)gains than material purchases.

The reason why experiences improve with time may be because it is possible to think about experiences in a more abstract manner than possessions.For example，if you think back to a fantastic summer from your youth，you might easily remember an abstract sense of warm sunshine and youthful exuberance(生气勃勃)，but you’re less likely to remember exactly what you did day-by-day.

Material possessions are harder to think about in an abstract sense.The car you bought is still a car，that great new jacket you picked up cheap is still just a jacket.It’s more likely the experience of that summer has taken on a symbolic meaning that can live longer in your memory than a possession.

Purchasing may have a negative impact on happiness because consumers often buy “joyless” material possessions，resulting in comfort but not pleasure.In general，people adapt to experiences more slowly than to material purchase.This can be seen in both negative and positive purchases：hedonic adaptation would result in a positive experience causing more happiness but a negative experience causing less happiness than the comparable material purchase with the same initial happiness level.

Experience，however，seems to be more resistant to these sorts of unfavourable comparisons.It is because of the unique nature of experience.It’s more difficult to make an unfavourable comparison when there is nothing directly comparable.After all，each of our youthful summers is differe
