18、s, arranged in a circle about five feet across.Scratching at the moss with a knife, I discovered a layer of barkthese were pieces of wood, not stone. But they were hard as rock, and at first I couldnt understand why they were not rotting away, until I tried to move one. and discovered it was rooted
19、into the ground, still alive.This tree must have been cut down at least four hundred years ago, but it was not completely dead. It had no leaves, howeverwithout leaves, a tree cannot absorb energy from the sunlight. Living cells must have food in the form of sugar, and they must breathe. Without foo
20、d and air, the roots of the stump (树桩) ought to have died long ago. One possible explanation existed: The other beeches (山毛榉) around the stump had been pumping sugar into it for centuries to keep it alive, through their roots. Most individual trees of the same species growing together will be connec
21、ted through their root systems. It appears that helping neighbours in times of need is the rule.But the support they give each other is not random. Research by Professor Massimo Maffei at the University of Turin in north-western Italy suggests trees can distinguish the roots of their own species fro
22、m other plants, and even pick out their own relations from other trees. Some are so tightly connected at the roots that they even die together, like a devoted married couple. Diseased or hungry individuals can be identified, supported and fed until they recover.When the thick silver-grey trees in my
23、 forest behave like this, they remind me of a group of elephants like the elephants, they look after their own, helping the sick and the weak back onto their feet. And as those mossy wooden “stones” prove, they are even unwilling, like elephants, to abandon their dead.It seems many tree species do t

26、nicate with other plants.27. In what sense are trees similar to elephants?A. They are tall and strong.B. They catch diseases and die.C. They give assistance to each other.D. They usually exist in a large group.CConformity involves changing your behavior to “fit in” or “go along” with the people arou
27、nd you. In some cases, this social influence might involve agreeing with or acting like the majority of people in a specific group, or involve behaving in a particular way to be viewed as “normal” by the group. Actually, conformity is something that happens regularly in our social world. Sometimes w
28、ere aware of our behavior, but in many cases it happens without much thought or awareness on our parts. And even in some cases we go along with things we disagree with or behave in ways we know we shouldnt.There are countless examples of conformity in life. For instance, a teenager dresses in a cert
29、ain style because he wants to fit in with the rest of the teenagers in his social group. A woman reads a book for her book club and really enjoys it. When she attends her book club meeting, the other members all dislike the book Rather than go against the group opinion, she simply agrees with the ot
30、hers that the book is terrible.Why do we conform? In many cases, looking to the rest of the group for clues for how we should behave can actually be helpful. Others might have greater knowledge or experience than we do, so following their lead can actually, be instructive. And in some cases, we conf
31、orm to the expectations of the group to avoid looking foolish. This tendency can become especially strong in situations where we arent quite sure how to act. Additionally, there are some situations where we conform just in order to avoid punishments or gain rewards.There are many factors that influe
32、nce conformity. For example, not knowing how to perform a difficult task makes people more likely to conform. Personal characteristics such as motivation to achieve and strong leadership abilities are linked with a decreased tendency to conform. And people are more likely to conform in situations th

Initially, they made their water bars in empty shops or other spaces across the country, a method for art exhibitions or performances called pop-up events. Theyve
37、 been such a hit that Coli Kloecker and Shanai Matteson are preparing to open a storefront (店面) Water Bar in northeast Minneapolis. Their taproom will serve pints of city water plus limited edition pours from other cities. Visitors will get to taste and compare, but the goal is bigger. They want to
38、connect the public with scientists, environmentalists and activists who will serve as barmen.“It is really about opening up a conversation on the idea that Water is all we have, because thats all were serving,” Matteson said “And then the conversation from there.”The storefront Water Bar is to open
39、soon. The money it needs for operation will come from neighborhood associations, ongoing pop-up events and so on. A pop-up Water Bar at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas, was part of contemporary art exhibition.“The best art comes from your everyday experiences and
40、allows you to think creatively and critically about yourself and your place in the world around. And the Water Bar does that beautifully,” said Chad Alligood, who was in charge of the museum.The pop-up events also have connected Kloecker and Matteson, who are married, to other water-minded organizat
41、ions. The Crystal Bridges exhibition led to an invitation to the Great Lakes annual Taste of the Great Lakes event last June. There, they served Chicago city water from lake Michigan; tap water from Toledo, Ohio, which was dealing with a poisonous algae bloom (藻类爆发) in Lake Eric, and so on. There we
