①Can trees talk? Some scientists find that trees can really “talk”!
②Some trees use chemicals (化学物质) to talk. When insects attack them, they gives out chemicals from the leaves. This is like a call for help—“I'm being attacked!” Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others can call birds to come to kill the insects. Scientists hope to learn more about this so that we can use it to keep insects away from crops like rice.
③More surprisingly, trees also use sound to talk. People can't hear these sounds, but trees are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Some trees make noises when there is not enough water.
④Most surprisingly of all, trees have an “Internet” to give out and get information in a big forest. Scientists call it the “Wood Wide Web” (树联网). The fungi (真菌) underground help build up the “Wood Wide Web” among the roots of different trees. It is just like the Internet we use. Using the “Wood Wide Web”, trees can share information and even food with each other. However, it may also be harmful. Some trees may use it to take too much food from others, or give out chemicals to hurt other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to build a “Great Wall” to help stop these.

①Can trees talk? Some scientists find that trees can really “talk”!
②Some trees use chemicals (化学物质) to talk. When insects attack them, they gives out chemicals from the leaves. This is like a call for help—“I'm being attacked!” Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others can call birds to come to kill the insects. Scientists hope to learn more about this so that we can use it to keep insects away from crops like rice.
③More surprisingly, trees also use sound to talk. People can't hear these sounds, but trees are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Some trees make noises when there is not enough water.
④Most surprisingly of all, trees have an “Internet” to give out and get information in a big forest. Scientists call it the “Wood Wide Web” (树联网). The fungi (真菌) underground help build up the “Wood Wide Web” among the roots of different trees. It is just like the Internet we use. Using the “Wood Wide Web”, trees can share information and even food with each other. However, it may also be harmful. Some trees may use it to take too much food from others, or give out chemicals to hurt other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to build a “Great Wall” to help stop these.
⑤Trees talk to each other in different ways. Now, scientists are learning more about these ways and maybe one day we will be able to “talk” with trees ourselves.

What do you usually do in your free time? Do you watch short videos(短视频) on some apps? According to the China Internet Network Information(信息) Center, the number of short video users reached 773 million in March, 2020. That is, about 86% of all Chinese Internet users are watching or making short videos, or both. If you think short videos are only popular in China, you are wrong. TikTok has more than 800 million users around the world.
Many users like short videos. They say the videos not only make them relax, but also teach them useful skills. "I love watching Lao Qiao's short videos on my phone, "Francis, one of the short video users, says."Lao Qiao is a famous cook and his videos are my favourite ones. From his videos, people can learn how to make Shaanxi noodles."
However, quite a few people think short videos are not that good. "There are many other ways to relax, like watching movies, reading books and playing sports," they say. "All of them are more meaningful(有意义的) to people. What's more, if people start watching the short videos, they can hardly(几乎不)stop. There are always new ones waiting for them, so they always spend hours on them."
Some educators(教育家)say people should not spend much time on short videos. "Most of them are just for fun. They don't teach people to think or to improve themselves. It's not good for people,and not good for society(社会),either. "
