We talk every day. When we have good news, we like to share it with our good friends and when something terrible happens, we will let others know soon. But do you know that a tree can talk and share news? It sounds strange, but it’s true that some trees can also communicate with each other. Of course, no tree moves lips and says words just as people do.
Willow trees (柳树) are the best-known of these trees. When insects begin eating a willow tree, the tree gives out a special smell at once. This smell tells the other willow trees that insects are coming near. All of them quickly make a chemical (化学物质) in their leaves. This chemical is bad for the insects. The insects do not like it and they fly away soon. In this way, the willow trees keep themselves away from the insects.
Next time when you take a walk near the trees, maybe the trees are “talking” to each other quietly. And when someone says that trees cannot “talk”, please tell them that even trees can “talk” to each other, too.
62. How do willow trees communicate with each other?
A. Through words. B. Through winds.
C. Through smells. D. Through sounds.
63. What does the underlined word “lips” in the first paragraph mean?
A. 树干 B. 嘴唇
C. 枝条 D. 手势
64. What makes the insects fly away?
A. The leaves on the willow trees.
B. The “talk” between the willow trees.
C. The special smell that willow trees give out.
D. The chemical that willow trees make in their leaves.
65. According to the passage, which of the following is the right order?
a. The willow tree gives out a smell.
b. All the willow trees make a chemical in their leaves.
c. Insects fly away because of the chemical.
d. Insects begin eating a willow tree.

D
Since the earliest times, trees have always been very useful and important to man. Even today trees continue to serve us in so many ways. Trees give us fruits and building materials in the form of wood. Without trees, it would be impossible to build houses, boats and even bridges. Furniture such as tables, chairs and beds is made of wood.
It is very hot in the tropics (热带地区) all through the year. Trees protect man from the terrible heat. They can also prevent good and rich top soil from being washed away during heavy rains. If there were no trees, the land would become a desert.
There are so many desert areas in the world. People in the past had little knowledge about science of nature. They cut down the trees and never planted new ones. After some years, the rich surface soil was blown away by strong winds and washed away by heavy rains. In the end, the land was turned into useless deserts where nothing could grow.
