Read the following passage, choose the one that best fits into the passage.
Sarah and Brian have traveled by air from London to Sydney. Sarah has promised her mother that she will 1 her to let her know that they have arrived 2 . This is 3 she has done ever since she was a 4 . Brian thinks it is a silly idea to ring so 5 , to spend so much, and to say so 6 .
“If there were an accident,” he says, “they'd know soon enough. 7 news travels fast.”
But Sarah has promised that she would ring. “ 8 ” she says, “it doesn't cost 9 when you consider that it's the other side of the world. It's 10 six pence per second”.
“If you 're on that telephone for 11 than one minute, I will eat the hat.” Brain says. “And one minute is nearly four pounds.”
“That's no more than you'd pay for a new hat.” Sarah replies.
She has asked the man at the hotel desk to get her the number. The 12 rings. Sarah picks it up.
“Hello, Mum. Is that you?” she says.
“Six pence per second.” Brian reminds her.
“Hello, Love.” It is Mrs Lee, Sarah's mother, speaking from London. "You do sound 13 . You could be in the next room. It's a better line than 14 you used to call me from the University. Do you remember? I used to shout and still you 15 hear me sometimes. And just think, you're on the other side of the world.”
“Yes Mum,” Sarah puts 16 , “I just wanted to ring to…”
“I remember how you used to ring when you went to Betty's house to tea. When you were a little girl. And then when you used to go to camp with the Guides...” Mrs Lee is a eat 17 .
“Nearly six pounds,” says Brian Sarah manages to tell her mother that it is time to say 18 .
“Yes, all right,” says Mrs Lee, “But you will write, won't you. Like you 19 to do when you were at University...”
Once again, Mrs Lee speaks loudly of the past. And there is 20 stopping of her.
“Eight pounds fifty,” says Brian.
Finally, Sarah cuts her mother short, promises to write, and rings off.
“There! That wasn't long, was it?”

“If you talk to the plants, they will grow faster and the effect is even better if you’re a woman.” Researchers at Royal Horticultural Society carried out an experiment to find that the voice of a woman gardener makes plants grow faster.
The experiment lasted a month and by the end of the study scientists managed to discover that tomato plants grew up two inches taller when women gardeners talked to them instead of male.
Sarah Darwin was the one making the plants the best growth. Her voice was the most “inspiring” for plants than those of nine other gardeners when reading a passage from The Origin of Species. The great-great-granddaughter of the famous botanist （植物学家）Charles Darwin found that her plant grew about two inches taller than the plant of the best male gardener.
Colin Crosbie, Garden Superintendent at RHS, said that the finding cannot yet be explained. He says that women have a greater range of pitch and tone（音高和音色）which might have a certain effect on the sound waves that reach the plant. “Sound waves are an environmental effect just like rain or light ,”said Mr Grosbie.
The study began in April at RHS Garden Wisley in Survey. Scientists started with open auditions(听力) for the people who were asked to record passages from John Wyndham's The Day of the Triffids, Shakespeare’s A Midsummer's Night Dream and Darwin's The Origin of Species.
Afterwards researchers selected a number of different voices and played them to 10 tomato plants during a period of a month. Each plant had headphones connected to it. Through the headphones the sound waves could hit the plants. It was discovered that plants that “listened” to female voices grew taller by an inch in comparison to plants that heard male voices.
68．What does the passage talk about?
A. Plants enjoy men’s voices than women’s.
B. A science experiment in a museum.
C. Voice’s influence on plant growing.
D. Strange findings at Royal Horticultural Society.
69．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Plants need sound as well as rain and light.
B. Sound is basic for the plant to grow.
C. Sound has a good effect as rain or light does.
D. Plants can’t live without sound, rain or light.
70．What can we learn from the passage?
A. The experiment ended in May.
B. Scientist can explain the findings clearly.
C. Plants enjoy listening to the passages from famous works.
D. The findings are of great importance to human beings.
