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!

today. Zoos and research centres look after about 160 pandas. Scientists are studying how they live and
more baby pandas are born in the zoos.
Pandas live in the forests and mountains of southwest China. They mainly live on bamboo, and each
panda needs to eat a lot of bamboo everyday. The area of bamboo is becoming smaller for many different reasons, so pandas have less and less land to live on. Pandas don"t have many babies , and baby pandas
often die. The situation is becoming very serious.
Our government is working hard to save pandas. There are more than 30 nature reserves to protect
pandas but these are not enough. The government has made a new plan to help pandas. The nature
reserves will be bigger and the bamboo will grow better. Then the pandas will have enough food to eat
and enough places to live in. Pandas born in the zoos may go back to live in the nature reserves.
Most people love pandas. The panda is one of the best-known animals in the world. It is the symbol
for the World Wide Fund for Nature. The WWF works to protect all animals in danger, so the panda
has become the symbol of all animals in danger. There is still a long way to go to save the panda. Think
of other animals in danger such as tigers, whales, turtles and elephants-we need to save the panda, and
we need to save them, too.

Many Chinese students think American students enjoy more freedom than them at school. But American
schools also have their rules. If the students break the rules, they will get punishment, too. On the first
day of a new term, 128 students of Morton High School were sent home for wearing the wrong clothes.
There are altogether 1,200 students in the school. Usually only 20 students break the school dress rule
every day. So the headmaster Therea Mayerik said it was the worst new term she had ever seen. At
Morton High School, students’favorite clothing such as baggy(宽大的)trousers, low- hecked shirts
and tank tops(紧身短背心)are not allowed in classrooms. Some students think they have the right to
choose what to wear , but the headmaster doesn’t think so. “I’d be supportive if half the school was
sent home, because 99% will get the message that our school is for education. “Freedom” does not mean
“free of restrictions(约束)”. That is to say there is no total freedom in the world, no matter in the USA or in China.
B. American students are not so clever as them
C. American students don"t love their school at all
B. being late for school
C. not wearing the right clothes
B. choose what to wear
C. eat and drink in class
B. 支持的
C. 害怕的
B. Disagree(不同意).
C. Not sure.
will take place in the new century. But what will the changes be?
The population is growing fast. There will be more and more people in the world and most of them
will live longer than before. Computers will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least
one in every home. And computer studies will be one of the most important subjects in schools.
People will work fewer hours than they did in the 20th century, and they will have more free time
for sports, watching TV and traveling. Traveling will be much cheaper and easier. And more people
will go to other countries for holidays.
There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for buildings, new towns and
houses. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe
no one will eat it every day. Instead, they eat more vegetables and fruit. Maybe people will be
healthier.
Work in the future will be different, too. Dangerous and hard work will be done by robots
(机器人). Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a new
problem. .

But there is another kind of diving. Some people dive into the sky! This is really a very exciting sport.
A skydiver goes high up in the air on a plane, jumps off the plane and floats in the air with the help of a
parachute. A parachute is like a huge umbrella. It is put on the back of the skydiver. When the
skydiver reaches a certain height, he will pull a string and the parachute will open up in seconds and
carry him gently down to the ground. Skydivers like doing a lot of dramatic tricks in the air. After
jumping off the plane one after another, they will try to stay in the air and hold each other"s hands.
They can form different shapes.
Is it safe to do skydiving? Yes, as long as we receive right training. But sometimes, accidents do
happen. In Canada, two skydivers were killed in 1991 when they jumped off the plane. Because their
parachutes got tied up with each other. The parachutes could not open up and both crashed down and
died.
