You never know whether to shake hands, bow or even whether to kiss on the cheek. But what if you were a dog?If you are a dog owner, you must be familiar with how your dog says hello to you. Seconds after you arrive home, your dog jumps up on you. You come face to face with a tail-wagging, wildly excited ball of fur that cant get enough of you. If youre not happy with that, it will shower you with wet “kisses” perhaps ruining your best shirt. Like humans, dogs have five senses: smell, touch, sight, hearing and taste.Unlike humans, dogs use smell rather than sight to identify others around them. A dogs sense of smell is thousands of times better than that of humans. Your dog cant just tell what a human being smells like, but it can also tell the difference between different members of its human family by their smell.They also greet each other this way, not eye to eye, but nose to nose.To be precise, when they first meet each other, they start with a quick sniff of each others noses. Then they will go side to side, working their way towards the back end.Dogs smell everything they can during a walk. They sniff grass, bushes, trees and signposts. By doing this, dogs know not only what they are looking at, but which other neighborhood dogs have been around lately. So next time you see your dog sniffing the wrong end of another dog, dont regard it as a bad habit. They are greeting each other.1. What is the main idea of the passage?A.

That is the title of a recent article in The New Yorker, and new research is showing that plants have surprising abilities to sense and react to the world.But can a plant be intelligent? Some plant scientists insist they are since they can sense, learn, remember and even react in ways that would be familiar to humans.Michael Pollan, author of “The Botany of Desire,” says for the longest time, people who have long talked to their plants or played music for them were being considered “mad.” The new research, he says, is in a field called plant neurobiology(神经生物学), which is not a proper name, because even scientists in the field dont argue that plants have neurons(神经) or brains.“They have analogous structures as humans,” Pollan explains. “Plants have all the same senses as humans. They have ways of taking all the sensory data they gather in their everyday lives, integrate it and then behave in an appropriate way in response.” In addition to hearing, taste, for example, they can sense gravity, the presence of water, or even feel that an obstacle(障碍物) is in the way of its roots, before coming into contact with it. Plant roots will change direction, he says, to avoid obstacles.So what about pain? Do plants feel? Pollan says they do respond to anesthetics(麻醉剂). “You can put a plant out with a human anesthetic. And not only that, plants produce their own compounds that are anesthetic to us.” But scientists are unwilling to go as far as to say they are responding to pain.How plants sense and react is still somewhat unknown. They dont have nerve cells like humans, but they do have a system for sending electrical signals and even produce neurotransmitters(神经递质)and other chemicals the human brain uses to send signals.4.

Flexible.D. Similar.7. What can we learn about plants according to the last two paragraphs?A. Plants can feel and react to pain.B. Plants send two kinds of signals.C. Plants are able to sense and react.D. Plants have their own brains.CThe human sense of smell is closely associated with our emotions. We use our limbic systemthe part of the brain which is thought to control emotion to connect our sense of smell to our feelings. Before people even recognize a smell, the deepest parts of the brain have already been stimulated and an emotional response has been triggered.Research has shown that humans can react emotionally
