After going through a tough breakup(分手), the British singer turned her pain into glory and recorded one of the most moving albums of the year. The album, 21, which was released in January, has already hit the charts

48、 in 14 countries, according to the Billboard magazine. It also noted that Adele made history as the first artist since the Beatles to have two top five singles and two top five albums in the charts at the same time (Adeles first album, 19, was released in 2008.

49、he wrote it). Now, after touring around the world for almost a year, the DVD of her live concert, released on November 29, is Adeles latest work.

54、orld tour. EWhen you watch TV programs about wild animals, it is surprising to see how an antelope can escape a lions attack. In the wilderness, everyone has a stunt. Even plants have their own ways of fighting off enemies. Over millions of years of evolution, plants have developed a unique defence

55、system. Chemicals are wildly used for survival. By making their leaves, flowers, roots and fruits distasteful or poisonous(有毒的) to enemies, plants can fight back. One such plant is the Golden Wattle tree. The British scientist David Cameron has found when an animal eats the trees leaves, the amount

56、of poison increases in the other leaves. “Its like the damaged leaves telephoning the others telling them to fight together against the enemy, ” he said. The tree also sends defence messages to neighboring plants by giving out a special smell. Golden Wattle trees in the surrounding 45 meters will ge

57、t the message and produce more poison within 10 minutes. Now, if an enemy eats too many of the trees leaves, it will die. Every species of plant or tree is good at the production of a particular set of chemicals. A herbivore that can safely eat the leaves of one tree may be poisoned by its neighbor.

58、 In this way, plants have developed not only individual defence system, but also shared it with others. This makes it impossible for a single animal to destroy even a small area of forest. 67.
