2、nimals._3_ plants lack brains,the firing of electrical signals in their stems and leaves nonetheless triggered responses that _4_ consciousness,researchers previously reported.But such an idea is untrue,according to a new opinion article.Plant biology is complex and fascinating,but it _5_ so greatly

3、 from that of animals that so-called _6_ of plants intelligence is inconclusive,the authors wrote.Beginning in 2006,some scientists have _7_ that plants possess neuron-like cells that interact with hormones and neurotransmitters,_8_“a plant nervous system,_9_ to that in animals,”said lead study auth

4、or Lincoln Taiz,“They _10_ claimed that plants have brain-like command centers at their root tips.”This _11_ makes sense if you simplify the workings of a complex brain,_12_ it to an array of electrical pulses;cells in plants also communicate through electrical signals._13_,the signaling in a plant

5、is only _14_ similar to the firing in a complex animal brain,which is more than“a mass of cells that communicate by electricity,”Taiz said.“For consciousness to evolve,a brain with a threshold _15_ of complexity and capacity is required,”he _16_.”Since plants dont have nervous systems,the _17_ that

12、 Everest to the Mariana Trench,because plastics are everywhere and dont break down easily.But some plastic materials change over time.They crack and frizzle.They“weep”out additives.They melt into sludge.All of which creates huge headaches for institutions,such as museums,trying to preserve culturall

16、ermelons.He wanted viewers to walk around on the carpetswhich meant they had to be durable.Unfortunately,the polyurethane foam he used is inherently unstable.Its especially vulnerable to light damage,and by the mid-1990s,Gilardis pumpkins,roses,and other figures were splitting and crumbling.Museums

17、locked some of them away in the dark.So van Oosten and her colleagues worked to preserve Gilardis sculptures.They infused some with stabilizing and consolidating chemicals.Van Oosten calls those chemicals“sunscreens”because their goal was to prevent further light damage and rebuild worn polymer fibe

18、rs.She is proud that several sculptures have even gone on display again,albeit sometimes beneath protective cases.Despite success stories like van Oostens,preservation of plastics will likely get harder.Old objects continue to deteriorate.Worse,biodegradable plastics,designed to disintegrate,are inc

29、nsider that this may well be the first of many.In this age of generalists,it pays to have specific knowledge or skills.Postgraduates now earn 40 per cent more than graduates.When more and more of us have a degree,it makes sense to have two.It is unlikely that Generation Z will be done with education
