C Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals,trees municate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation? UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more plex than most of us ever Charles Darwin thought that trees are peting for survival of the fittest,Simard shows just how wrong he fact,the opposite is true:trees survive through their cooperation and support,passing around necessary nutrition“depending on who needs it”. Nitrogen( 氮 )and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi( 真菌 )works,making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all hidden system works in a very similar way to the works of neurons(神經(jīng)元 )in our brains,and when one tree is destroyed,it affects all. Simard talks about“mother trees”,usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation,transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to humans cut down“mother trees”with no awareness of these highly plex“tree societies”or the works on which they feed,we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest. “We didn’t take any notice ofit,”Simard says sadly.“Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying,but we never give them chance.”If we could put across the message to the forestry industry,we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future. underlined sentence“the opposite is true”in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees . for their own wealth on each support for dying trees 29.“Mother trees”are extremely important because they . the largest in size in the on nutrition to young trees more likely to be cut down by more about the plex“tree societies” underlined word“it”in the last paragraph refers to . “tree societies” trees grow old forestry industry young trees survive would be the best title for the passage? Trees Communicate Like Trees Are In Need Of Protection Are More Awesome Than You Contribute To Our Society D Working with a group of baboons(狒狒 )in the Namibian desert, Carter of the Department of Zoology, CambridgeUniversity set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food hidden in a baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task, while others had to learn for work out how brave or anxious the baboons were, Dr. Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake. She found that personality had a major impact on braver baboons learnt, but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones effect, despite being made aware of what to do, they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did. The same held true for anxious baboons pared with calm anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not, even though they spent more time watching. This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that personality plays a key role in social learning in animals,something that has previously been ignored in studies on how animals learn to do findings are signifi
