     Do you know kind words and light music (轻音乐) have something to do with plants?
     Many people talk to their plants. Many people play music to their plants. And many people try very hard
to protect (保护) their plants from loud noises, strong lights, and unpleasant (讨厌的) smells (气味).
     That's not all. Some people are very careful (小心的) about what they say or do in front of plants. They
won't talk about unpleasant things. They won't beat (拍打) a fly (苍蝇) near their plants.
     Why? Those people are afraid that they may hurt their plants' feelings.
     Can you hurt a plant's feelings? Do plants have feelings? Professor Backster thinks so. Many pupils think
so. Even a few scientists think that plants have feelings.
     But most scientists (科学家) don't agree (同意). They don't think that plants can be happy, worried,
angry, loving or frightened (害怕). They don't believe that a plant's feeling can be hurt.
     Who is right? Then along came the experiments (实验) of professor Backster. From his experiments,
Backster decided that plants have feelings. He said that, like people, plants need love and kindness (亲切).
They can feel worried and happy.
     Two years later, in l 968. Baekster wrote about his experiments in a magazine (杂志). And much of the
world took notice (注意). Plant lovers of the world were happy.

The Sound of Music

  Do you like popular music from Latin America, the United States, or Asia? Many musicians from around the world blend their country's music with popular sounds.

  Caetano Veloso After thirty years, Caetano Veloso is still one of Brazil's most important musicians. He mixes rock with the music of the Bahia region. Bahia is a state of Brazil that is strongly influenced by African culture. Caetano Veloso is an excellent songwriter and poet. He says of his music, “I make my records like a painter paints his canvas.”

  Bonnie Raitt Bonnie Raitt is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Her music blends rock with country and the blues. The blues is a kind of folk music that is often sad. It is usually about love and the problems of life. Bonnie Raitt's strong, rough voice is perfect for singing country and the blues.
