B Bananas are one of the world s most important food crops. They are also one of the most valuable exports. Bananas do not grow from seeds. Instead, they grow fr
34、om existing plants. Bananas are threatened by disease because all the plants on a farm are copies of each other. They all share the same genetic weaknesses. For example, the Cavendish banana is most popular in North American and European markets. However，some kinds of fungus organisms easily infect
35、the Cavendish. Black Sigatoka disease affects the leaves of Cavendish banana plants. The disease is controlled on large farms by putting chemicals on the plant s leaves. Farmers put anti-fungal chemicals on their crops up to once a week.Another fungal disease is more serious. Panama disease attacks

When the bundle was in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped. The doctor turned quickly and looked out of the tall hospital window. The b
45、aby had been born without ears.Time proved that the baby s hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was imperfect. When he rushed home from school one day and threw himself into his mothers arms, she sighed, knowing that his life was to be misfortunate. He cried out the tragedy, “A boy,
46、a big boy. called me a freak (怪人)”He grew up, handsome. A favourite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music. “But you might communicate with other young people，” his mother blamed him, but felt a kindness in h
47、er heart.Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, “You re going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it s a secret.” The operation was a brilliant success, and a new person emerged.Later he married and entered the diplomatic service. O
48、ne day, he asked his father, “Who gave me the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her.” “I do not believe you could，” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know. not yet.”The years kept their secret, but the day did come. He stood with his father over
49、his mother s casket.

50、n the quest for better health, many people turn to doctors, self help books or herbal supplements. But they overlook a powerful weapon that could help them fight illness and depression, speed recovery, slow aging and prolong life their friends.Researchers are only now starting to pay attention to th
51、e importance of friendship and social networks in overall health. A 10-year Australian study found that older people with a large circle of friends were 22 percent less likely to die during the study period than those with fewer friends. A large 2007 study showed an increase of nearly 60 percent in
52、the risk for obesity among people whose friends gained weight. And last year, Harvard researchers reported that strong social ties could promote brain health as we age.“In general, the role of friendship in our lives isn t well appreciated,” said Rebecca G. Adams, a professor of sociology at the Uni
53、versity of North Carolina, Greensboro. “There are a lot of things on families and marriage, but very little on friendship. It baffles me. Friendship has a bigger impact on our psychological well being than family relationships.”Bella DePaulo, a visiting psychology professor at the University of Cali
54、fornia, Santa Barbara, whose work focuses on single people and friendships, notes that in many studies, friendship has an even greater effect on health than a spouse or a family member.It isn t entirely clear why friendship has such a big effect. It may be because people with strong social ties also
55、 have better access to health services and care. Beyond that, however, friendship clearly has a profound psychological effect. People with strong friendships are less likely than others to get colds, perhaps because they have lower stress levels.Last year, researchers studied 34 students at the Univ
56、ersity of Virginia, taking them to the base of a steep hill and fitting them with a weighted backpack. They were then asked to estimate the steepness of the hill. Some participants stood next to friends during the exercise, while others were alone.The students who stood with friends gave lower estim
57、ates of the steepness of the hill. And the longer the friends had known each other, the less steep the hill appeared.“People with stronger friendship networks feel like there is someone they can turn to，” said Karen ARoberto, director of the center for gerontology (老年医学) at Virginia Tech.“ Friendshi
