22、scars, including best picture. In 2017, NASA dedicated a building in her honor. That year, The Washington Post described her as “the most high - profile of the computers” “computers ” being the term originally used to describe Mrs. Johnson and her colleagues, much as “typewriters” were used in the 1
23、9th century to represent professional typists. She “helped our nation enlarge the frontiers of space,” NASAs administrator, Jim Bridenstine, said in a statement on Monday, “even as she made huge steps that also opened doors for women and people of color in the universal human quest to explore space.

But now, for the first time, Itzhak Khait and his colleagues at Tel Aviv University in Israel found that tomato and tobacco plants made ultrasonic(超声的)sounds at frequencies humans cant hear when stressed by a lack of water or when their stem is cut.
29、Microphones placed 10 centimeters from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic range of 20 to 100 kilohertz.
