"J.C., "he replied.

She thought he had said "Jesse", and he had a new name.

Owens ran his first race at age 13.After high school, he went to Ohio State University.He had to work part time so as to pay for his education.As a second?  year student,  in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.

A week before the Big Ten meet,  Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week,  and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try,  event by event. He did try,  and the results are in the record book.

The stage was set for Owens? victory at the Olympic Games  in Berlin the next year,  and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political.Hitler did not congratulate any of the African?American winners.

Can trees talk? Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate (交际) with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars (毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell---a signal (信号) causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.

Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar (花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn’t trees have ways of sending message?

1. It can be concluded from the passage that caterpillars do not feed on leaves that ______.

2.According to the passage, the willow tree was able to communicate with other trees by ______.

3.According to this passage, bees communicate by ______.
