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 !

often forget the danger, too. It only takes a cup of tea or coffee, or a bath that"s too hot to scald a child badly.
◆Falls-Children of all ages fall and hurt themselves from time to time. For babies, the danger is rolling off
the edge of something, like beds, chairs or tables. For babies of two to four, climbing on furniture doesn"t
seem dangerous. It"s just fun. But it"s very easy for them to fall off a piece of furniture, down the stairs, out
of a window or off a balcony (阳台).

| Very few people enjoy exams. I don"t, either. And although I tell myself not to worry about them, I always do! So I am not surprised that my students worry about them, too, even though they usually don"t need to. Because they are afraid of failing. However, since it is hard not to worry at all, we all must try not to worry too much. Why? Because worrying makes exams worse! How to do this? 1. Ask the teacher about how to revise and about exam skills- how to work when you are in the exam. 2. Good students don"t wait until the week before an exam. They study all through the year. It is not possible to learn everything at the last minute. So don"t leave it till then! 3. If you start planning and working for each exam early and you make sure that you understand what you are studying, then, when it is over, you"ll be able to say, "What a good exam that was!" 4. Take a short rest during your time of work and revision. If your mind is tired, it will not remember well. Work at the time when you know you will work at your best. 5. If you are studying in the evening, don"t go straight to bed afterwards. Your mind will still be "going round and round" - thinking too much. Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise. Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things. 6. If you feel bad, talk to someone about your worries. But don"t be too relaxed! Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them. |

| The way in which we communicate with others can be greatly improved by building a better vocabulary. In our personal life, we communicate and share experiences with others. However, how well we do it depends on (取决于) our ability to express ourselves through spoken and written language. Luckily, increasing (增加) our word power can make us own the skills we need to communicate better with others and can also help us get better results in our study. When you see a new word, whether through reading or hearing someone say the word, just be ready to take out your dictionary and look it up-learn about the word and anything that relates (与…相关) to it. If you understand the word, you"ll hopefully remember it well. Meanwhile, you"d better write down words to learn. You can go through the dictionary, magazine and newspaper or even take down the unknown words you hear. Try to review them every day-look at the words and speak them out loudly. Copy the words over and over again, along with their meanings, and you will surprisingly remember them in no time. You can also do word searches, crossword puzzles or other word games. Playing these games, you are more likely to come across new words, and when you are caught in new words, study them. The more words you have in your brain"s word bank, the better you will become at these word games. You will be remembering, learning and having fun, too. Finally, reading is also believed to be an excellent way to learn new words and build up your vocabulary. Read things you are interested in, because in this way, you are less likely to become bored. But don"t skip over (忽略) those words you don"t know. Instead, you should remember and use them in your own daily conversations. Use them more, and you"ll surely have a better chance of remembering them. |
