①Do you believe a rose plant says “I want some water” or a tree shouts “My arms hurt”? Maybe you think it is impossible and you will say this could only happen in some children’s stories.

②In fact, plants are not always silent. 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 actually some sounds that carry information. However, the pitch is too high for people to hear,” said Lilach Hadany, a professor from Tel Aviv University.

③The researchers used microphones to record some tomato plants. They found that stressed (有压力的) plants send out more sounds than unstressed plants. “When tomatoes are not stressed at all, they are very quiet,” Professor Hadany said. They also trained a machine in telling the differences between thirsty plants and cut plants. The result shows that when the causes of stress change, they shout differently. After the team recorded many kinds of other plants, they found that many plants like corn, wheat and grape plants send out sounds when they are under stress, too.

④“There is a possibility that a lot of communication is happening,” Professor Hadany said. “Because other plants can probably hear the call of the stressed plants.”

⑤Sound recordings of plants could bring humans a lot of advantages, especially in farming. For example, people will make sure whether corn is getting enough water or where water is needed most without much difficulty. The study can help farmers to improve their harvest (收成) and increase their income.

The Rickshaw (人力车) Run is one of the world’s most unusual races. It lasts for two weeks and takes place in India. Each team has one rickshaw and one to four drivers. The rickshaw has to transport light loads (货物) in short distance, which makes the event such a challenge.

The race takes place twice a year: once in summer and once in winter. The route (路线) is different, but the length is always about 2,500 kilometers long. The race is a lot of fun, but it also has a task for all participants (参赛者). They should raise at least 1,000 pounds for charity.

The first race took place in 2006 with 34 teams. Since then, the Rickshaw Run has become famous around the world. A few days before the race, if participants don’t know how to drive a rickshaw, they will receive a crash course to make sure they can control it during the race. They can also use the pre-race time to decorate their rickshaws and ask any last-minute question.

“The adventure really starts when things go wrong,” said one participant. “The wind blew a hole in our rickshaw, but I saw the most beautiful town in India!” said another. Just as the organizers say on their website, “There’s no set route, and you don’t know if you’re going to make it. The only certainty is that you will get lost, you will get stuck and you will break down.”

Are you ready for some real adventures?

【小题1】The underlined words “a crash course” in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A.a message which tells someone to do something
B.a problem that someone needs to solve immediately
C.an invitation to someone who wants to learn something
D.a lesson that teaches someone basic skills in a short time
【小题2】What can we learn about the Rickshaw Run from the passage?
A.The races in a year have the same route and length.
B.The rickshaw needs to carry heavy loads in short distance.
C.Participants will easily lose their way and get into trouble.
D.Participants are not allowed to ask questions before the race.
