跨生物·树的特殊语言 （2024 河北定州期中改编，★★☆）
We talk every day. When we have good news, we like to share it with our good friends and when something terrible happens, we will let others know soon. But do you know that a tree can talk and share news? It sounds strange, but it’s true that some trees can also communicate with each other. Of course, no tree moves lips and says just as people do.
Willow trees（柳树）are the best - known of these trees. When insects（昆虫）begin eating a willow tree, the tree gives out a special smell at once. This smell tells other willow trees that insects are coming near. All of them quickly produce a chemical（化学物质）in their leaves. This chemical is bad for the insects. The insects do not like it and they will fly away soon. In this way, the willow trees will keep themselves away from danger.
Next time when you take a walk near the trees, maybe the trees are “talking” to each other quietly. And when someone says that trees cannot “talk”, please tell them that even trees can “talk” to each other, too.（E7203003）
