Parents f teenagers ften view their children’s friends with distrust, wrrying that their children will be pushed by their peers (同龄人) int ding smething flish r even dangerus. Their wrries hld water. In a previus study, psychlgist Laurence Steinberg fund that a teenage driver with a same-age passenger in the car is at higher risk f traffic accidents than ne driving alne r with an adult.
In the fllwing years, Steinberg examined why teens were mre likely t take risks in the cmpany f ther teenagers. In a later study, by scanning (扫描) the brains f 40 teens and adults, Steinberg fund the brains f teenagers, but nt adults, shwed greater activity in tw regins assciated with rewards when they were being bserved by same-age peers. The reward systems f the brain are activated whenever peple experience smething rewarding, like eating a nice-tasting fd, which make them feel satisfied. In this case, rewards are greater fr teens, which mtivates them t seek higher-risk experiences.
But Steinberg thught peer pressure might als have its psitive side. In the latest study, Steinberg’s team used a card game t research hw peers affect the way yung peple gather and apply infrmatin. It invlved 101 teenage bys wh played either alne r with three peers. They chse cards frm fur decks (牌堆): tw decks had “gd” cards, and tw “bad” nes.

Plants might be able t hear their neighbrs, accrding t a study that suggests plants use the sund signal t cmmunicate with ne anther.
“We have shwn that plants can recgnize when a gd neighbr is grwing next t them,” said study c-authr Mnica Gaglian, an evlutinary eclgist at the University f Western Australia. “We fund that this cmmunicatin can be based upn an acustic (声音的) exchange.”
The findings suggest that plants can nt nly “smell” the chemicals and “see” the reflected light f their neighbrs, they may als “listen” t the plants arund them.
“Plants are mre intricate rganisms than we’ve given them credit fr,” Gaglian said.
In the study, Gaglian and her wrkmate Michael Rentn shwed that chili plants spruted faster and were healthier, cmpared with thse grwn in islatin, when they were grwn next t “gd neighbrs”, such as basil.
Remarkably, the scientists gt the same result even when the plants were separated by black plastic s that they culd nt exchange light r chemical signals.
The scientists said the study is grundbreaking but still in its early days, and admitted there are still many unanswered questins. Fr example, are plants intentinally (有意地) cmmunicating with ne anther? And if they are, d they all speak in a universal (通用的) “plant language”? T these questins and mre, Gaglian said, the answer is “we dn’t knw”.
Gaglian thinks learning the secrets f plant cmmunicatin culd have practical applicatins (应用) that culd benefit humans. She imagines farmers using music t encurage r discurage the grwth f certain plants, reducing the need fr pesticides.
Study c-authr Rentn warned, hwever, that the effects in their study were fairly small. “Whether it wuld be ecnmically viable (经济上可行的),” he said, “fr a farmer t play music t get that little extra grwth speed, I think it’s pintless and cstly.”
12. What did the study find ut abut plants?
A. They have a great influence n their neighbring animals.
B. They can sense their surrundings thrugh sunds.
C. They can cntrl their wn grwth in the dark.
D. They grw much healthier in islatin.

A. Endangered.B. Natural.C. Cmplex.D. Prductive.
14. What did the scientists think f their study?
A. It is inspiring but the findings are limited.
B. It is a failure but the methds deserve praise.
C. It can help plants send signals mre effectively.
D. It will draw public attentin t the prtectin f plants.
15. What is Rentn’s attitude t the idea f using music t influence the grwth f plants?
A. Hpeful.B. Supprtive.C. Uncaring.D. Oppsed.
