A lot of families in Britain grow vegetables. A few people grow unusual or strange vegetables. But a great many people grow tomatoes. My neighbor grows the biggest, sweetest, happiest tomatoes in the world. “How do you do it?” I ask. “Why can’t I grow tomatoes like yours?”
“I talk to them,” my neighbor says. “I’ve been talking to my tomatoes for years.” Up to now, I have always laughed at this.
This summer, some scientists carried out an interesting experiment(實驗), and I have just read their report.
Three sets of tomato plants were grown. Nobody talked to the first set, but every day for a month, a recording of a man’s voice was played to the second set, and a recording of a woman’s voice was played to the third set. At the end of the month, the second set of plants had grown four centimeters taller than the first, and the third set of plants had grown five centimeters taller than the second. The plants liked the woman’s voice best.
“We can’t explain it,” a scientist said. “But sound waves surely help the tomatoes to grow. Plant growers have always paid attention to light and water. Now_we_advise_you_to_think_of_sound_waves_in_the_same_way.”

There are many kinds of wild cats in Africa, such as the lion, the cheetah(獵豹) and the leopard(豹). African cats are beautiful animals but they are not safe. The biggest danger to African cats is losing their living places. Roads and farms leave less space for wildlife. The cheetah used to be seen around Africa. Today, the cat can only be found in certain places of Africa. They have lost most of their living places. Lions once lived all over Africa as well. But now their population is becoming smaller and smaller. Illegal hunting(非法捕獵) is also a problem to the wild big cats in some places.
There are protected areas in many parts of Africa. But outside those places, wild African cats may be killed. They may be killed for their beautiful skins. They may be killed for use in traditional medicines. They may be killed by people who hunt for sport, or fun.
Some organizations and groups, like the Cat Survival Trust(CST) and African Wildlife Foundation(AWF), are working to protect African cats. They are trying their best to make sure these cats can live in peace.
The job of protecting African cats is really difficult, but one small step could lead to bigger steps.
(B)h part of the magazine is the passage probably taken from?
A. Culture. B. Animal.
C. Travel. D. History.

A woman cooked pancakes for her family and an extra one for a hungry passer-by. She always put the extra one on the windowsill(窗臺). Every day, a hunchback(駝背者) came and took it away. Instead of expressing his thanks, he said, “The evil you do remains with you; the good you do comes back to you!” “Not a word of thanks. Every day he says these words! What does he mean?” she said.
Day by day, the woman became annoyed. Therefore, one day, she added poison(毒藥) to the pancake she prepared for him. She was about to put it on the windowsill when she shook with fear. “What am I doing?” she said. She threw it into the fire and made another one.

That evening, there was a knock on the door. To her surprise, it was her son who had been to a faraway place to make money. He looked very weak. He said, “Mom, it’s a miracle(奇蹟) that I’m here. While I was a mile away, I was so hungry that I almost died. Just then, an old hunchback passed by and gave me a pancake. He was kind enough to give me a whole pancake. He said, ‘Your need is greater than mine!’” After hearing these words, the woman remembered the pancake with poison. If she had not burnt it in the fire, it would have been eaten by her son!
