19、ant need for attention. I wasn t prepared to say goodbye.Cody would have been 16 in the spring and although he never did any of the talking, I had more conversations with this dog over the past five years while working from a home office than I did with any human. He was my co-worker, friend and the
20、rapist(治疗师).There wasnt a meal I didnt share with Cody, not because he begged, more because I wanted to. If I got too absorbed in work to realize it was time for lunch hed remind me with a gentle push and then walk toward the kitchen. When it was quitting time, hed get up from his usual spot in the
21、office and stare at me until I got the hint that it was time to start making dinner. I guess he was also my time manager.We dont know what dogs are thinking about, but I dear to say Cody could read my mind. Before he was too old, blind and deaf to go for walks, as soon as I thought it was time to go
22、, hed be up and at the door before I could get my shoes on. The same situation was played out when it came to swimming. Wed spell out the word, s-w-i-m, trying to trick him and hed still race to the back door, ready to jump in the pool and lie on his raft.We lost his brother Cooper almost two years
23、ago, and without the two of them, it seems as if were not sure what to do with ourselves. Were still expecting Cody to greet us at the door, when we come home, as though weve been away for months.

26、eone offered to put down Cody but the writer refusedCIn his great novel A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens begins his story with these well-known lines: “It was the best of times; it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom; it was the age of foolishness; . it was the season of light; it
27、was the season of darkness; . we had everything before us; we had nothing before us.”Some might wonder what he was talking about. In fact he was just stating some facts about the way people view time and events differently. Obviously, “time” is always with us and will always play an important part i
28、n our lives. We find references to time every day and everywhere in America: “Time is money,” “time is right,” “time out,”.Although we might think that in America we are all in agreement on how we view time，we are not. Areas, groups, organizations, and individuals all have their own ideas of how to
29、view time. For example, in some cultures time means “more relaxed”. If you are invited to a dinner party in New Orleans, you should arrive ten to twenty minutes after the stated “time”. If you arrive at the time given on the invitation you will be considered rude because your hosts will still be pre
30、paring and will not be ready to receive you. In other parts of the US, time is of the greatest importance.

31、late you are. He will give you ten minutes and then decide that you are not coming.How, you might ask, is one to know exactly how to look at time in strange surroundings?

35、s have found the way “mother” plants use their memory of the seasons to teach their seeds (种子) the best time to germinate (发芽). Researchers led by Professor Ian Graham, of the University of York, working with scientists at the University of Exeter, found that the mother plant senses temperature and
36、forms a long term temperature memory. They used Arabidopsis thaliana (a small flowering plant) as a model plant.If the mother experiences warmer temperatures, it produces more of a protein called Flowering Locus T (FT). FT limits the production of tannins in the fruit, making seed coats thinner and
37、more permeable. (If something is permeable, it allows water to pass through it.) This means they germinate more quickly. If the mother plant experiences cooler temperatures, it produces less FT protein and more tannins. Seed coats will be thicker and less permeable and will germinate later. In this
38、way, the mother plant can tell their children the best time of year to start their life.This work shows the importance of growing conditions throughout the life cycle of the plant, said Professor Graham. In terms of crop plants, it proves unfavorable environmental conditions can have negative effect
39、s on seed quality.Climate change is making unfavorable conditions more frequent, but Dr Steven Penfield, who led the research, expresses confidence.By understanding how the mother plant uses temperature information to influence her seeds, we can begin to develop methods to breed (培育) crop seeds more
40、 able to stand up to climate change, he said.Dr Penfield notes that the finding has attracted interest from other scientists. Kent Bradford, an agricultural researcher at the University of California, is eager to see if the lettuce (a round vegetable with thin green leaves) have a similar process fo
