16、 2013. Wu Hongfei, a singer, got into trouble for saying on Weibo that she wanted to blow.“Threatening happens not only face to face but also through the Internet, social media and the telephone,“ said Mr. Cao, a lawyer from Chongqing.

22、heir own family? Some do, scientists say, according to a report by Science News in early 2010.Guillermo P. Murphy and Susan Dudley are two plant scientists from McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada. They did a few experiments with Jewelweeds, a kind of flower that grows in wet, shady spots. They
23、found that the flowers seem to know their own flower family. In their experiments, Murphy and Dudley planted jewelweeds in pots with either siblings or strangers.When jewelweeds were planted in pots with strangers, the plants started to grow more leaves than if they had been planted alone. This resp

25、han they usually would if they were alone but they did not start growing lots of extra leaves. This behavior suggests the plants are more likely to share resources, rather than compete.According to the Science News report, Jewelweeds are not the first plants that plant scientists have studied for fa

27、lanted with strangers, the sea rockets reacted by working extra hard to grow lots of roots.
