科学家认为植物和人一样具有感觉
科学家认为植物和人一样具有感觉

Humans have feelings and plants have feelings, too. A report said that there was strong evidence showing that plants did have feelings and were able to react to things.
    Scientists used a machine to record some plants’ reactions while they were stimulated(刺激) in different ways.This machine kept track of each plant’s responses. A plant which was being watered gave a reaction similar to that of a person who is relaxing.
   Some scientists were doing plant research. One of the scientists was ordered to destroy a plant. As the scientist approached the plant, the plant reacted violently before being destroyed. Other scientists passed by the plant, it didn’t react. It reacted only when the destructive scientist passed by.
    In another experiment, plants were tested while live shrimps(小虾) in another room were thrown into boiling
water. The plants showed reactions when the shrimps were boiled.
    Do plants really have feelings? Try talking to your plants and see if that makes a difference.
