Now, they are discovering that trees can notice lots of things around them! Trees can sense many different things with their roots. For example, they can feel where “up” and “down” are. There is no light down in the earth, but the roots always know which way to grow. 在过去 在泥土里 感知东西 注意到他们周围的东西 例如 14 While-reading Find out some important phrases Trees can feel different temperatures. They know when to drop their leaves in autumn, and when to grow new leaves in spring. If an animal starts biting a tree of a certain species, the tree can find out what happens.

They really like the sound of running water when it is dry. If the sound continues for a long time, the roots will slowly start growing towards it. Trees can sense different kinds of light and colours. They know where the sun is, so their branches grow in that direction. That’s why trees in the northern hemisphere (半球) usually have more branches growing out on the south side. There are still many things we don’t know about trees. Scientists are working hard to find out more. 很长一段时间 朝……方向生长 在那个方向 在北半球 16 Take notes 1. 感知东西 2. 在过去 3. 注意到他们周围的东西 4. 例如 5. 在泥土里 6. 查明，查清，发现 7. 开始做某事 8. 使某人做某事 9. 过了一会儿 10. 很长一段时间 11.朝……方向生长 12. 在那个方向 13.在北半球 1. sense things 2. in the past 3.notice things around them 4.for example 5. in the earth 6. find out 7. start doing sth. 8. make sb. do sth. 9. after a while 10. for a long time 11. grow toward... 13. in the northern hemisphere 12. in that direction 17 Post-reading 1. Since trees can “sense” things，should we treat them differently？Why？ Group discussion Yes, we should. First, since trees can sense, they are living beings with a certain degree of “intelligence”. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem. So, we should protect them more carefully. No, we shouldn’t. Although trees can sense many things , they can't move or express their feelings . We still need to use wood like making furniture and building houses. We can continue to use trees in a proper way without treating them extremely differently. 18 02 01 03 04 05 Hi, I’m a tree!
