7、y name. The second is the kind of flower within that group and is like a given / personal name.,4 What was the serious problem for biology that Linnaeus solved?,Before Linnaeus there was no way of finding out whether a plant was new or not. This causes problems because different scientists claimed t
8、hat they had found and named flowers first. After he organized his system it was easy to discover whether a plant was new or not and so who had the right to name it.,NAMING A FLOWER Robert Briggs (RB) is talking to Zhang Wei (ZW) about a new kind of lily he has found.,Listening text,ZW: Hello Robert
9、. Whats that book youre carrying? RB: A book that helps you identify a flower. ZW: I see. Why do you want that? RB: Ive found this lily. It looks differentto me. So I want to find out if its new or not. Our biology teacher toldme that if its already known, Id find it in this book.,ZW: Wow! So you th
10、ink you may have found a new lily? RB: I hope so, but I have to do some research first to find out for sure. ZW: What happens if its in the book? RB: It means that somebody else has found it and named it. Then Ill know its biological name. ZW: What do you mean by the biological name?,RB: Actually li
11、ke us a flower has two names. The first is the group of flowers it belongs to like a family name. A rose is one such group. The second is the kind of flower like a given name. It may describe what therose looks like; for example, the colour of an autumn sunset. Togetheryou get the flowers name, whic
12、h Rose Autumn Sunset.,ZW: Gosh! Who made that system? RB: A great scientist called Carl Linnaeus. He lived in Sweden from 1707 to 1778. ZW: So long ago! RB: Yes, and he solved a very seriousproblem for biology. ZW: What was that?,RB: Before him nobody could tell if a plant was new, as there was no w
13、ay of checking. Therere so many plants, you see! ZW: Yes, I appreciate that! So his system is still used? RB: Indeed it is. If my flower isnt in this book, Ill know that Ive founda new kind of lily.,ZW: Thats great! Can I come and help you? This research sounds fun. RB: Yes, and if Im lucky (fading
