9、 people do, says Anke Steppuhn. She is a scientist at the Free University of Berlin in Germany. What we define as pain usually has to do with a nervous system, Steppuhn explains. When you put your hand too close to a hot stove, nerve cells send a signal to your brain. Your brain decodes (解码) that si
10、gnal as pain. This causes you to pull your hand away before any serious damage is done. Plants dont have nerves or brains, so they cant feel pain like we do.

13、 all over the injured plants. They will attack anything that stands in their way. That includes the slug that damaged the plant in the first place. Its a very clever trick. Whenever a slug attacks a plant, the plant calls an army of ants to kill the slug. Nectar isnt the only way plants attract body
14、guards. They also release certain chemicals into the air when they are being eaten. People usually cant find these smells. But wasps (黄蜂) can. When a wasp notices this cry for help, it races to the scene of the crime. If it finds the right kind of insect chewing down on the plant, the wasp will inte
