Задача
Read the text and answer the questions after it.
- What was the function of Klausner’s sound machine?
- What did Klausner think he heard with the help of this device?
- Why did the Doctor agree to come at half past six, though Klausner claimed he wasn’t ill, and why did he bring his little black bag?
- What kind of experiment did Klausner want to make? Did he succeed?
- Why did Klausner stare at the tree with “a tense, horrified expression”? What did he think was the reason for the branch to break?
- Do you think the Doctor heard anything unusual in the earphones? What could he hear if Klausner was right?
- Do you think Klausner was mad? Is it possible that plants can react to pain or coming danger?
- Do you think all the mysteries of the natural world have been solved? Which of them haven’t?
Подробный ответ
- Klausner’s sound machine was designed to hear extremely high notes and record inaudible sound vibrations in the air.
- He thought he heard the tree’s roots moving and the branch breaking.
- The Doctor agreed to come because Klausner sounded very upset and urgent, and he brought his little black bag because he was a doctor and expected to examine Klausner if necessary.
- Klausner wanted to make an experiment to find out whether trees can react to pain or danger. He partly succeeded: the machine worked, but the experiment ended when the branch fell and smashed it.
- Klausner stared at the tree with a tense, horrified expression because he believed the tree had reacted to the blow of the axe. He thought the branch broke because the tree “felt” the pain or danger.
- The Doctor probably heard something unusual, but he was too frightened to listen carefully. If Klausner was right, he could hear the sounds of the tree’s inner movement and the branch cracking.
- Klausner did not seem mad; he was only excited and disturbed by his discovery. It is possible that plants can react to pain or danger in some way, but this is still not fully understood.
- No, not all mysteries of the natural world have been solved. For example, the exact ways plants communicate, react to stress, and sense danger are still not completely clear.
