Can plants eat people? Probably not，but there are many plants that eat meat．Some of them are big．And they can eat small animals．One famous meat-eating plant is the Venus flytrap(捕蝇草)．
The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant．It grows in dry parts of the United States．Its leaves are like the pages of a book．They can open and close very quickly．Inside the leaves，there are three small hairs．If a fly touches one of the hairs，the leaf closes quickly．The fly cannot get out．In about half an hour，the leaf presses the fly until it is dead．Then，the plant covers the fly．Slowly，the plant eats the fly．
Why do plants do it? Most plants get what they need from the sun，the air，and the ground．In some places，the ground is very poor．It doesn’t have all these important things，
especially nitrogen(氮)．Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen， so some plants eat meat to get what they need．Let’s hope that some of the bigger plants don’t get the same idea !

A new term has begun. Teachers are 41 about the fact that new students are not easy to deal with. They like to bring cell phones and MP3 players to school. What is worse , some students even use cell phones 42 out-of-class matters in class, or sometimes just for fun. Some 43 students listen to MP3 players when they are having a lesson that they are not interested in.
Are these new students really that 44 ? “Yes.” Says Delaney Kirk, a professor（教授） at Drake University. But she adds it’s not their fault. 45 , the teachers should be blamed(责备). Mrs Kirk first began thinking about students’ manners six years ago. “I had my first class in which students were sleeping or talking to each other. It seemed that learning well had nothing to do with them.” She says. “At first, I got worried about this.” But then I said to 46 , “You’re giving lessons, and you need to manage this kind of situation. These students need to know more about manners. It’s time to help them develop some good 47 . They shouldn’t waste time doing nothing when they are young. Sooner or later, they may regret(后悔) the time they 48 .”
Mrs Kirk also makes a list of suggestions to help teachers better manage（驾驭） their classes. The following are among her suggestions:

At 18, many American young people go off on their own. They go away to college or find full-time jobs, and they often rent their own apartments. Some get married and start families. This independence(独立性)is learned from childhood. From an early age, American children learn responsibility. Children as young as 2 begin to put away their toys and dress themselves. At 3, many children do simple chores like setting the table.
Using money wisely is also taught early. As soon as a child understands the value of money, he or she receives a weekly allowance. This is used for things the child wants, like toys or treats. The child can spend of save it, usually with little guidance(指导) from parents. If the child wants money besides his or her allowance, it must be made by doing extra chores.
Children are taught early in life to think for themselves. They are allowed to make some decisions-and make mistakes. Failure(失败) often teaches more than success.

Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests(客人) with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they don’t have to bring their own. But, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.
Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources (资源) and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.
Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life: Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school dining-room, use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.
To protect our environment and our home, it is very necessary and important for us to save natural resources.
