Are you a nature lover? Then you must visit Zhangye UNESCO Global Geopark in China! It’s one 1 the best geoparks in the world. People there believe 2 it has the most beautiful rainbow (彩虹) hills in the world.

If you climb up to the top and see the hills from above, you 4 (find) rainbows painted on the ground.

You may wonder how these colourful hills were developed. Millions of years ago, this area was under a lake. Over time, rivers were bringing sand 7 stones. These were left in layers (层) on the bottom of the lake. Some layers were red, some were yellow, and the others turned purple or white. Later, the climate 8 (become) much colder and drier, so that the lake dried up. Then, something special happened! The underground land began 9 (rise) up and push against each other.

The researchers used microphones to record some tomato plants and found that stressed plants send out 5 (many) sounds than unstressed plants. “When tomatoes are not stressed at all, they are very quiet.”
The teacher said that they also developed a machine to tell the differences 6 thirsty plants and cut plants. The result shows that 7 the causes of stress change, they shout differently. After 8 team recorded many kinds of other plants, they found that many plants like corn, wheat and grape plants send out sounds when they are under stress, too.
“There is a possibility that a lot of talk is happening,” Professor Hadany said. “Because other 9 (plant) may hear the call of the stressed plants.”
Sound recordings of plants could bring humans lots of advantages especially (尤其) in farming. For example, people will make sure 10 corn is getting enough water or not, or where water is needed most.
