26、Known as the wife of the outstanding Professor Stephen Hawking for 30 years, Jane Hawking came to more people’s notice thanks to The Theory of Everything, a 2014 Oscar-winning film based on her book Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen.

Jane became interested in Hawking during middle school. She was impressed by his brilliant wisdom, and the two fell in love. Though he was told by the doctor to have a serious disease and only two years to live, Jane still married him in 1965.

Jane’s parents were rather surprised, but they supported her very much when she married Stephen Hawking. “And, of course, there was Stephen and his talent. Stephen had been given two years to live so I thought I could give two years of my life to this person I loved. I wanted to help him achieve his ambitions. And then, there were my tiny children. They kept me going,” Jane said.

Jane took on her role as a wife and assistant, taking her husband to conferences worldwide. As Stephen’s illness developed, Jane chose to seek her own academic career. She wanted to be in a position to provide for her family, so the first thing in the morning she took the children to kindergarten, and then hurried to the university library. She gained her PhD two days before her third child was born.

Jane became a lecturer in modern languages. And now she is retired, focusing on her creative writing. She is working on her latest novel, to follow up her second one, which was published in August, 2018.

28、Do Trees Talk to Each Other?

Did you know that trees can communicate with each other? Suramme Simard, a professor of forest ecology at the University of British Columbia, has conducted research into the cooperative and social behavior of trees.

Growing up in the forests of Canada, Simard observed how logging (伐木) companies would cut down diverse forests and replace them with a single tree species. Loggers believed that by removing competition, the newly planted trees would thrive, as they would receive more space, water, and sunlight. However, Simard noticed these trees were actually more likely to suffer disease and environmental stress. As she investigated this question, Simard realized that tree communication was the answer to this.

Trees communicate through underground networks of helper fungi (真菌). The fungi connect with tree roots, forming links, which can connect trees of different kinds across a forest. The fungi transport water and nutrients to the trees. In return, trees provide fungi carbon-based sugars. The fungi not only allow for tree-fungi cooperation but also for communication. Trees can transport carbon, water, nutrients (营养), chemical warning signs, and hormones. This system allows them to balance resources and warn neighboring trees of danger. Trees are also connected through the “mother” trees, which are the oldest and largest trees. Through this connection, young trees can get the resource and information network.

These findings have many effects, including the way we structure our own societies and ecological practices. Mother trees are key for providing the information, medicinal, and resource capacity to future generations of trees. Also Simard believes that with climate change stressing out plants and threatening the survival of species, humans may need to step in to help — perhaps even by moving some species to cooler climates as the world warms.

While Simard wholeheartedly believes in the cooperative nature of trees, other scientists argue that competition is still the main reason why these trees end up sharing resources. The fungi that transport resources might actually be sending nutrients to resource-poor trees because they can demand more carbon-based sugars in return from plants on the edge of survival.

Regardless of whether cooperation or competition drives tree behavior, stronger evidence of forest communication and networks is an exciting discovery with much to learn!

【2】What does the author mainly talk about in paragraph 3?

A．The function of fungi.

B．The wide network of wood.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A．Efforts should be made to protect mother trees.

B．The fungi stop mother trees from sharing resources.

C．Simard proves competition and cooperation work together.

D．Some endangered plants have been moved to cooler places.

【4】How does the author feel about the finding?
