One little miracle (奇迹) has been happening to me recently, and it gives me a special joy.
A few months ago, I was 1 my daughter, Sally, some stories about my mother. My daughter was so young when my mother died that she doesn’t remember her well. I told her all I could remember, like how wonderful my mother was and how much she meant to me.
One day, Sally was sad because her grandmother was in heaven (天堂) and she couldn’t see her. I explained that though her grandmother was dead, now she was still watching over us and could send us something to let us know she was there. She could be anywhere, even riding invisibly (看不见地) on the back of a butterfly (蝴蝶). Just after I said this, a butterfly flew down right by us, and we laughed happily.
Now many people would say it was just luck that the butterfly flew down at that time. A funny thing, however, has happened since then. Every time I go out in any type of weather I see butterflies. Very often they fly right by my face to get my attention. I always say hi to Mom, send her my love, and thank God for little miracles.
Everyone is always looking 2some big miracles to come out and save them when they are in trouble, but they don’t notice the little miracles that happen every day right in front of their eyes. I know what they really are, however. For me little miracles are the best kind. So many little miracles happen around me all the time that I know they are not just luck.

We always think that it's OK for us to leave our plants home during our vacation as plants won't scream like pets, right?

A recent study done by a group of scientists at the Tel Aviv University has discovered that some plants will scream when they are under stress.

The research was carried out on tomato plants and tobacco plants by cutting their stems(茎) and depriving(剥夺) them of water. A microphone was placed 10cm away from them. When their stems were cut, the plants started "screaming" between 20 and 100 kilohertz, and the scientists guess that this scream is probably meant to warn other plants nearby.

When the tomato plants' stems were cut, 25 ultrasonic( 超声的) pain sounds were recorded in an hour, and at the same time, 15 ultrasonic pain sounds were recorded from the tobacco plants. When they were deprived of water, the tomato plants recorded even more pain sounds with 35 pain sounds in an hour while the tobacco plants recorded about 11 pain sounds.

The plants also acted differently to different kinds of stresses. For example, the tobacco plants gave out a stronger "scream"when they were deprived of water than when their stems were cut. But plants that were in no immediate(立刻的) danger gave out less than one ultrasonic sound per hour.

The group of scientists said that plants are not as quiet as we had always thought, but in fact their voices are so high﹣pitched that we just can't hear them.

Last year, another study has found out that plants feel pain when they are touched or hurt and they will give of a terrible smell.
