Don't worry!This thing would never really happen.But a new study showed that plants make sounds when they are stressed(有压力的)， "Plants make sounds to communicate with insects and other animals all the time,"said Lilach Hadany,the researcher of the study,"but those sounds are undetectable to human's ears."With this in mind,the team started the research by recording the plants'sounds. First,the team developed a smart machine that can record and translate the sound of plants. Then they divided plants into three groups:one group wasn't watered for five days,another group had the stems (cut off and the last group was untouched. The result showed that untouched plants stayed quiet,but in other two groups,these plants made sounds up to 40 clicks every hour!More interestingly,thirsty plants made louder and louder sounds at the beginning,with the loudest sounds when they were very thirsty,then lower as they died. This result helps us better understand how plants manage stress and how they communicate with the world around them.It can also help farmers to tell which plant is thirsty,which one is hurt or which one is healthy,so that they can water them in time or protect them from disease. Scientists are still working on inventing machines to help farmers to understand their plants better.They also wonder if the plants make sounds because of other reasons. 56.How does the writer start the passage? A.By explaining the sounds of a tomato. B.By comparing the sounds of two tomatoes. C.By telling a fact about a shouting tomato. D.By introducing an idea about a shouting tomato. 57.What does the underlined word"undetectable"mean in Paragraph 2? A.Unacceptable. B.Unchangeable. C.Uncomfortable.
