It comes from mental or emotional activity as well as physical activity. It is unique and personal to each of us. So personal, in fact, that what may

28、 be relaxing to one person may be stressful to another. For example, if youre a busy executive who likes to keep occupied all of the time, “taking it easy“ at the beach on a beautiful day may be extremely frustrating, nonproductive, and upsetting. You may be emotionally distressed from “doing nothin

29、g.“ Too much emotional stress can cause physical illnesses such as high blood pressure, ulcers, or even heart disease. Physical stress from work or exercise is not likely to cause such ailments.

The scientists found that the nutrition of isolated roots was quite simple.

34、They required sugar and the usual minerals and vitamins. However, they did not require organic nitrogen compounds. These roots got along fine on mineral inorganic nitrogen. Roots are capable of making their own proteins and other organic compounds. These activities by roots require energy, of course

35、 The process of respiration uses sugar to make the high energy compound ATP, which drives the biochemical reactions. Respiration also requires oxygen. Highly active roots require a good deal of oxygen. The study of isolated roots has provided an understanding of the relationship between shoots and

36、roots in intact plants. The leaves of the shoots provide the roots with sugar and vitamins, and the roots provide the shoots with water and minerals. In addition, roots can provide the shoots with organic nitrogen compounds. This comes in handy for the growth of buds in the early spring when leaves

37、are not yet functioning. Once leaves begin photosynthesizing, they produce protein, but only mature leaves can “export“ protein to the rest of the plant in the form of amino acids.（分数：1.00）(1).What is the main topic of the passage?（分数：0.10）A.The relationship between a plants roots and its shoots.B.W
