A few people grow unusual or strange vegetables. But a great many people grow tomatoes. My nei ghbor grows the biggest, sweetest, happiest tomatoes in the world. “How do you do it?” I ask. “Why can’t I grow tomatoes like yours?”“I talk to them,”my neighbor says. “I’ve been talking to my tomatoes for years.”Up to now, I have always laughed at this.This summer, some scientists carried out an interesting experiment(实验), and I have just read their report.Three sets of tomato plants were grown. Nobody talked to the first set, but every day for a month, a recording of a man’s voice was played to the second set, and a recording of a woman’s voice was played to the third set. At the end of the month, the second set of plants had grown four centimeters taller than the first, and the third set of plants had grown five centimeters taller than the second. The plants liked the woman’s voice best.“We can’t explain it,”a scientist said. “But sound waves surely help the tomatoes to grow. Plant growers have always paid attention to light and water.

African cats are beautiful animals but they are not safe. The biggest danger to African cats is losing their living places. Roads and farms leave less space for wildlife. The cheetah used to be seen around Africa. Today, the cat can only be found in certain places of Africa. They have lost most of their living places. Lions once lived all over Africa as well. But now their population is becoming smaller and smaller. Illegal hunting(非法捕猎) is also a problem to the wild big cats in some places.There are protected areas in many parts of Africa. But outside those places, wild African cats may be killed. They may be killed for their beautiful skins. They may be killed for use in traditional medicines. They may be killed by people who hunt for sport, or fun.Some organizations and groups, like the Cat Survival Trust(CST) and African Wildlife Foundation(AWF), are working to protect African cats. They are trying their best to make sure these cats can live in peace.The job of protecting African cats is really difficult, but one small step could lead to bigger steps.(B)34.Which part of the magazine is the passage probably taken from?A.
