26、How Plants Branch Out to Access Water
New research has discovered how plant roots sense the availability of water in soil and then adapt (适应)their shape to acquire water. The discovery could enable crops to be raised which are more adaptive to changes in climate conditions, such as the absence of water, and help ensure food safety in the future.
These findings, published in the journal Science, describe a new mechanism(机制) discovered by cooperating teams at the universities of Nottingham and Durham.
Roots are very important for plants to acquire water and nutrients(营养)from the soil. Water is necessary to plant growth , yet changing climatic conditions makes acquiring water from soil even more challenging. Plants are able to adapt to different soil moisture(湿润)conditions by changing their roots.
The researchers discovered that plant roots lacking a branching master gene were no longer able to branch out. They found that when roots have access to moisture, the certain gene remains active and promotes root branching, but when put in air, the gene is in activated, preventing root branching. The research has identified the certain protein which can inactivate root branching.
Professor Sadanandom explained: "This is hugely exciting as it opens up the possibility for us to help develop plants that could continue to branch roots even in challenging conditions such as the absence of water.'
Professor Bennett concluded: "Water is the key to plant growth, development and their survival. By studying how plant roots change their branching in response(回应)to water availability, we have uncovered a new mechanism. This opens the way to develop new crops better adapted to climate change and to help deliver global food safety."
It is absolutely imperative to ensure food safety worldwide. Crop production must double by 2050 to keep pace with global population growth. This target is even more challenging considering the effect of climate change on water availability. In this case, developing crops with better ability to acquire water would provide a solution.
【1】The findings of the research may have a positive effect on several global issues EXCEPT
A.ensuring food safety B.preserving the agriculture
C.solving the absence of water D.increasing crop production
【2】With the help of the findings, plants may be able to ________.
A.take in more nutrients B.change inactivated roots
C.grow in challenging conditions D.branch out without a special gene.
【3】Which of the following best explains “imperative" in the last paragraph?
A.effective. B.hopeful.
C.impractical. D.urgent.
【4】What is the new mechanism mentioned by Professor Bennett?
A.How a branching master gene responds to a particular nutrient.
B.How plant roots change their shape according to the soil moisture.
C.Why plants have different abilities to adapt to soil moisture conditions.
D.How the certain protein in activates root branching when accessible to water.
27、 One of the best aspects of travel is discovery. Whether you’re immersing yourself in a brand new culture or wandering (闲逛) the streets of a foreign city, you’re finding new things to see and experience. Part of that discovery is in what you learn about yourself. 【1】.
Here are some of those ways:
【2】
Travel means new foods, cultures and places to explore. Try speaking that new language or eat a new kind of food you never knew existed. When you’re thrown outside of your normal circumstances (环境), you’ll discover more about who you are and what you’re like.
The chance to reinvent yourself
At home, people can see you a certain way and pigeonhole (主观划分某人为) you into a personality type that can be hard to escape. 【3】. You’re free to break away from how people normally see you and reinvent yourself.
【4】
You’ve just traveled across a country, tried a new language and haggled (讨价还价) over prices in a market. They’re all things you didn’t know you could do before, but you dug up a new-found sense of adventure and somehow made it work. With travel, comes challenges. And the more challenges you take on, the more sure of yourself you become.
Planning and organizing skills
What’s the best route to take so I see all the major attractions? What’s the best way to get to the next city and back so I don’t miss my flight? How should I organize my itinerary (行程)? 【5】.
You have to organize your trip so that you have a place to stay and transportation to and from certain destinations.
A.Building confidence
B.Travel is about making choices
C.Forcing you out of your comfort zone
D.Trips don’t always go according to plan
E.Having time to reflect on your life
F.Travel can give you a chance to explore other sides of your personality
G.Like most experiences, travel can change you in ways you might never have expected
28、Research shows that playful teasing between parents and their children can be a way to strengthen relationships, bring up difficult topics, and just have fun. 【1】 Carol Bishop says, “You need to recognize if they are enjoying it,” There are also rules about what is okay and not okay to tease your child about. 【2】 Instead, tease kids about safe topics, like a messy room, or things that can be easily changed.
Teasing should also be a two-way street. 【3】 If they go too far making fun of you, be sure not to blow up. Instead, help them to learn boundaries and what may hurt others.
Teasing about a disappointing grade should only be used as a gentle reminder to study or do homework. It shouldn't be focused on the ability because that could make the situation worse. It’s not wrong to say to your child, “I'm disappointed that you got a C.”【4】 You need to examine if there is a learning disability or maybe they are depressed or being bullied.
From monsters under the bed to darkness and noises, fears that may seem silly to an adult may be very real to a child. 【5】 In fact, it could make them worse. Teasing a child who is frightened about something is not a way for them to expand their horizon—you need to make them feel secure.
A．Kids often feel hurt when teased by others.
B．Topics like appearance and weight are prohibited.
C．You have to be willing to let your child tease you about things.
D．But then you must work with them to figure out the cause.
E．But parents need to recognize when teasing becomes hurtful.
F．Laughing or teasing won't help them overcome their fears.
G．Teasing a child about sports performance can cause a child to quit the sport.
29、What’s better: private school vs public school? Choosing which school to send your children to can be a very hard decision to make. 【1】
Ask about testing scores. Students at private schools tend to outscore public school students on standardized tests, which can affect your child’s ability to get into college. 【2】 Researchers have used the same data to come to conflicting conclusions. Other factors like socioeconomic status, can influence student’s scores, regardless of where they are educated.
【3】 In general, public schools tend to have larger class sizes than private schools. If you need a school that can give more attention to individual students, you might consider a private school or a smaller public school.
Tour the school. Before you even begin to choose between a public or private one, you’ll need to schedule a tour of the school you’re interested in. Do the students look happy and engaged? Are the learning spaces bright and clean? 【4】 Taking your children along gives the them chance to see the school and decide if it feels like a comfortable environment to them.
Don’t put too much stock in online ratings. 【5】 But they could also have fantastic teachers and principals. Talking to others help you figure out if this is true. Therefore, don’t write a school off just because its ratings are a little low.
In a word, knowing what matters to you in terms of the differences between public and private education can make your decision a little easier.
A．The final decision is yours.
B．Take into account class size.
C．Some practical actions can help a lot.
D．However, there is some debate about this.
E．You can learn a lot about these when you visit.
F．Same schools might have unfavorable comments.
G．Decide how important private schools are to your child.
