【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 he and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. My dad also left the children’s hospital for a little while because he became ill. Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, in came the little girl who had been paralyzed, but this time she was walking. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave him a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read: “Thank you for helping me walk.” My dad would cry every time he told us this story and so would we. He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctors, and my dad – who died just a few months after the little girl gave him the picture – loved every single child in that hospital.48.

Some do, scientists say, according to a report by Science News in early 2010.Guillermo P. Murphy and Susan Dudley are two plant scientists from McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada. They did a few experiments with Jewelweeds, a kind of flower that grows in wet, shady spots. They found that the flowers seem to know their own flower family. In their experiments, Murphy and Dudley planted jewelweeds in pots with either siblings (同屬) or strangers. When jewelweeds were planted in pots with strangers, the plants started to grow more leaves than if they had been planted alone. This response suggests that plants are peting with strangers for sunlight, since a plant with more leaves can receive more light and make more food. Jewelweeds normally grow in the shade, where sunlight is scarce.When jewelweed seedlings were planted with siblings, they grew a few more branches than they normally would if they were alone – but they did not start growing lots of extra leaves. This behavior suggests the plants are more likely to share resources, rather than pete.According to the Science News report, Jewelweeds are not the first plants that plant scientists have studied for family recognition. In 2007, Dudley and her team studied the Great Lakes sea rocket, a plant that grows on the beach – where it may be hard to get fresh water. In that experiment, the scientists observed that when sea rockets were planted with siblings, they tolerated each other. But when they were planted with strangers, the sea rockets reacted by working extra hard to grow lots of roots. Dudley says this behavior makes sense because sea rockets, on the beach, get plenty of sun but struggle for water – so when they’re threatened, they pete for water. Jewelweeds have plenty of water but have to pete for sunshine, so they grow more leaves.52. When the McMaster University scientists experimented with Jewelweeds, they __________.A. planted Jewelweeds alone B. separated jewelweeds from their siblingsC. planted Jewelweeds in an unusual environmentD. grew jewelweeds together with either family or strangers 53. Which of the following shows that Jewelweeds pete with others?A. Jewelweeds grow extra leaves.B. Jewelweeds grow more branches as well as extra leaves.C. Jewelweeds
