　　The greenhouse is mainly used in planting of vegetables and fruits of long-season and adopts soilless culture, planting not grown in the soil but in rock wool of bowl size instead．The growth of plants depends on nutrition liquid fed to by the computer through feeding system．

　　All crops will be covered with considerate cares：When indoor temperature of the glass greenhouse is lower than best temperature needed by crops, the computer will automatically commands the heating system to increase the temperature till getting the best; When the temperature higher, computer will then commands the decrease system to adjust; When the plant is in want of nutrition, the computer will automatically test and prepare according to demands of plants purposely and feed the nutrition liquid to crops through burette．

　　Planting tomatoes here, harvest time lasts 10 months for one planting time．The yield can be up to more than 46 kg per square meter．That's to say, a workshop of 1000 square meters can yield over 500 tons, as more than 100 times of that of traditional field planting．

　　As the human brain evolved, humans were able to laugh before they could speak, according to a new study．But here’s the punch line：Laughter and joy are not unique to humans, the study says．Ancestral forms of play and laughter existed in other animals long before humans began laughing．

　　“Human laughter has its roots in our animation past,” said Jaak Panksepp, a professor of psychobiology at Bowling Green State University in Ohio．Panksepp has studied rats and found that when they “play,” they often chirp(唧唧叫)－an early－stage form of laughter, according to the scientist．In an article to be published tomorrow in the journal Science, he makes the argument that animal laughter is the basis for human joy．

　　In studying laughter, scientists have focused mostly on related issues－humor, personality, health benefits, social theory－rather than laughter itself．New research, however, shows that “circuits”(电路)for laughter exist in very ancient regions of the human brain．As humans have included language into play, we may have developed new connections to joyous parts of our brains that evolved before the cerebral cortex(大脑皮层), the outer layer associated with thought and memory．

　　There is plenty of evidence that many other mammals make play sounds, which are like human laughter．Indeed, animals are capable of many emotional feelings, just like humans, some scientists say．"The recognition by neuroscientists(神经系统科学家)that the brain systems for pain, pleasure, and fear are the same in humans and other mammals underline our similarity to other species and is extremely important," said Tecumseh Fitch, a psychology lecturer at the University of St．Andrews in Scotland．In a 2003 study Panksepp and Bowling Green State University neurobiologist Jeff Burgdorf showed that if rats are tickled(呵痒)in a playful way, they readily chirp．Rats that were tickled developed a relationship with the researchers and became rapidly conditioned to seek tickles．Understanding the chirping of the rats may help scientists better understand human laughter．

　　Robert Provine, a psychology professor at the University of Maryland in Baltimore, agrees there is an evolutionary continuity of laughter．"Its origin is in tickling play," he says．Provine has studied chimpanzees and found a link between their laughter - like noises and human laughter．"Laughter is actually the sound of play, with the original’ pant – pant’(喘气)- the heavy breathing of physical play - becoming the human ‘ha - ha,’” Provine said．By studying the shift from the panting of chimps to the human ha - ha, he discovered that breath control is the key to the appearance of both human laughter and speech．

(1)

The 2003 study about rats being tickled are mentioned in paragraph 4 in order to show that ________．

[　　]

A．

rats are such smart aromas that they can laugh like humans

B．

animals have emotional feelings as human beings do

C．

animals' emotional feelings are now widely recognized

D．

tickling animals can help animals develop the ability of laughter

(2)

According to the text, what is the most special about Jaak Panksepp's research?

[　　]

A．

It focuses on animals' influence on human laughter．

B．

People's personalities are involved in the research．

C．

The research studies human brain as well．

D．

The research deals with laughter itself．

(3)

We can infer from the above text that ________．

[　　]

A．

Tecumseh Fitch and Robert Provine disagree with each other on laughter

B．

rats’ chirping and chimp’s panting are basically the same

C．

most animals are able to laugh but need to be trained first

D．

human beings have now fully understood animals’ behaviors
