Easter Sunday, which falls on April 4th this year, dates back nearly 2,000 years．It is celebrated by hundreds of millions of people around the world．For my family, it is considered the greatest holiday of the year．
Every Easter my brothers and I would wake up early and, like Christmas morning, run downstairs to see what surprises were waiting for us．We were always excited when the Easter Bunny(兔子), who is like Father Christmas, came and left us a basket of candy．It’s wonderful．It is like there is a miracle every Easter morning．
Our mother, however, would not let us eat the chocolates like we wanted．The chocolate bunnies, and candy eggs would have to wait．Instead, we would have to get dressed in our new clothes．
Then my family would go to church．After church we would go to an elder family members’ house for a feast(盛会)．My mother’s family came to the US from Eastern Europe, so we would often eat many traditional dishes．My favorite was ham and a special potato salad．We usually had 20 or more family members at the dinner．
After dinner my cousins, brothers and I would go outside．While we were sleeping the night before, our parents had hidden plastic eggs throughout the back yard．We would always have a contest to see who could find the most eggs．The winner would get a prize．It was our annual Easter Egg Hunt．Sometimes, in summer, we would discover an egg we missed on Easter．

I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache．So they can't learn it well．But English is very easy for me．I'm good at it．I'm very glad to tell you something about how I study English．
First, I think an interest in English is very important．When I was in Grade One, we had a new subject－English．It was fresh for me．I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it．Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark．How happy I was! After that, I learned English harder and harder．Our English teacher often teaches us English songs, the songs sound nice．I often think how interesting English is!
Second, I think English is a foreign language．I should learn it well in the following ways：Listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and have a good vocabulary．Then practice again and again, never be tired．And I also have a good habit：Asking whenever I have a question, I must make it clear by asking our English teacher．How happy I am when I understand!
Besides this, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels．From these I know English is not only interesting, but also useful．They help me understand a lot of things．So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well．

Now I have learned English for more than two years．I always keep the first position in our school．From these words, I hope every student can learn English well．

Great changes have been made in family life because of science and industry．
In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children．In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents．Often too, uncles and aunts lived nearby．But when industry became more important than agriculture(农业)in American life, families became smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary．And large families cannot be moved from place to place as smaller families can．Therefore, at present people tend(易于)to have smaller families．
In the future, because of industrialization(工业化), a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller．The typical family may remain childless and consist only of a man and a woman．A small number of families may take raising children as their chief work．At the same time they may also raise other people’s children, leaving those families free to move from job to job．

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!

plant

animal

meat
