22、l influence. She begana nationwide 31 to have a national holiday declared that would bring familiestogether while celebrating the 32 festivals. In 1863, after 17 years of advocacyincluding letters to five presidents, Hale got it. President Abraham Lincoln,during the Civil War, issued a 33 setting as

23、ide the last Thursday in Novemberfor the holiday.The true authorship of Marys Little Lamb is disputed. According to the NewEngland Historical Society, Hale wrote only part of the poem, but claimedauthorship. Regardless of the author, it seems that the poem was 34 by a realevent. When young Mary Sawy

24、er was followed to school by a lamb in 1816, itcaused some problems. A bystander named John Roulstone wrote a poem aboutthe event, then, at some point, Hale herself seems to have helped write it.However, if a 1916 piece by her great-niece is to be trusted, Hale claimed forthe 35 of her life that som

27、ding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Grow Plants Without WaterA) Ever since humanity began to farm our own food, weve faced theunpredictable rain that is both friend and enemy. It comes and goes withoutmuch warning, and a field of lush (茂盛的) leafy greens one year can dry up andblow away the next. Food secu

28、rity and fortunes depend on sufficient rain, and nowhere more so than in Africa, where 96% of farmland depends on rain instead of the irrigation common in more developed places. It has consequences:South Africas ongoing droughtthe worst in three decadeswill cost at least aquarter of its corn crop th

29、is year.B) Biologist Jill Farrant of the University of Cape Town in South Africa says that nature has plenty of answers for people who want to grow crops in places withunpredictable rainfall. She is hard at work finding a way to take traits from rarewild plants that adapt to extreme dry weather and

30、use them in food crops. As the earths climate changes and rainfall becomes even less predictable in some places, those answers will grow even more valuable. The type of farming Im aiming for is literally so that people can survive as its going to get more and more dry, Farrant says.C) Extreme condit

31、ions produce extremely tough plants. In the rusty red deserts of South Africa, steep-sided rocky hills called inselbergs rear up from the plains like the bones of the earth. The hills are remnants of an earlier geological era, scraped bare of most soil and exposed to the elements. Yet on these and s

32、imilar formations in deserts around the world, a few fierce plants have adapted to endure under ever-changing conditions.D) Farrant calls them resurrection plants (复苏植物). During months without water under a harsh sun, they wither, shrink and contract until they look like a pile of dead gray leaves.

33、But rainfall can revive them in a matter of hours. Her time-lapse (间歇性拍摄的) videos of the revivals look like someone playing a tape of the plants death in reverse.E) The big difference between drought-tolerant plants and these tough plants: metabolism. Many different kinds of plants have developed ta

34、ctics to weather dry spells. Some plants store reserves of water to see them through a drought; others send roots deep down to subsurface water supplies. But once these plants use up their stored reserve or tap out the underground supply, they cease growing and start to die. They may be able to hand

35、le a drought of some length, and many people use the term drought tolerant to describe such plants, but they never actually stop needing to consume water, so Farrant prefers to call them drought resistant.F) Resurrection plants, defined as those capable of recovering from holding less than 0.1 grams

36、 of water per gram of dry mass, are different. They lack water-storing structures, and their existence on rock faces prevents them from tapping groundwater, so they have instead developed the ability to change their metabolism. When they detect an extended dry period, they divert their metabolisms,

37、producing sugars and certain stress-associated proteins and other materials in their tissues. As the plant dries, these resources take on first the properties of honey, then rubber, and finally enter a glass-like state that is the most stable state that the plant can maintain, Farrant says. That slo

38、ws the plants metabolism and protects its dried-out tissues. The plants also change shape, shrinking to minimize the surface area through which their remaining water might evaporate. They can recover from months and years without water, depending on the species.G) What else can do this dry-out-and-r

39、evive trick? Seedsalmost all of them. At the start of her career, Farrant studied recalcitrant seeds (顽拗性种子), such as avocados, coffee and lychee. While tasty, such seeds are delicatethey cannot bud and grow if they dry out (as you may know if youve ever tried to grow a tree from an avocado pit). In

40、 the seed world, that makes them rare, because most seeds from flowering plants are quite robust. Most seeds can wait out the dry, unwelcoming seasons until conditions are right and they sprout (发芽). Yet once they start growing, such plants seem not to retain the ability to hit the pause button on m

41、etabolism in their stems or leaves.H) After completing her Ph. D. on seeds, Farrant began investigating whether it might be possible to isolate the properties that make most seeds so resilient (迅 速恢复活力的) and transfer them to other plant tissues. What Farrant and others have found over the past two d

42、ecades is that there are many genes involved in resurrection plants response to dryness. Many of them are the same that regulate how seeds become dryness-tolerant while still attached to their parent plants. Now they are trying to figure out what molecular signaling processes activate those seed-bui

43、lding genes in resurrection plantsand how to reproduce them in crops. Most genes are regulated by a master set of genes, Farrant says. Were looking at gene promoters and what would be their master switch.I) Once Farrant and her colleagues feel they have a better sense of which switches to throw, the

44、y will have to find the best way to do so in useful crops. Im trying three methods of breeding, Farrant says: conventional, genetic modification and gene editing. She says she is aware that plenty of people do not want to eat genetically modified crops, but she is pushing ahead with every available tool until one works. Farmers and consumers alike can choose whether or not to use whichever version prevails： Im giving people an option.J) Farrant and ot
