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(苍蝇) 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!

Time is very important in our life. However, I had never realized it until I received a beautiful gold watch from my father one day when I was 19 years old. This watch always1me the importance of time in my life.
It was a cold rainy day. My father asked me to go to the2to pick up my uncle and take him home. I should have arrived there before 4:30p.m. We had a basketball match at school that afternoon and the match was so3that I forgot the time. When the match was nearly over, I suddenly remembered my uncle and hurried to the airport .It was too late. He had left the airport and take a taxi to our house.
I was very worried that my father would complain4the thing. As soon as I entered the living room, I saw my uncle in the sofa looking very tired. I do not5uncle and my father .I said hello to them in a very low voice .My father didn’t say6.Instead, he asked me to sit7 him. “Peter, did you have a good time today?” I felt so sorry and answered in a8voice. “Yes, Dad, but I ’m really sorry .This will9happen again. I promise.”My father handed me a box with a beautiful gold watch inside .It was a gift my uncle bought for him. He gave it to me and said, “I hope you have learned something important today, and this watch will help you remember the importance of time.”
The watch has been with me for twelve years .I wear it not because of its price, but because of10I learned. It tells me to respect(重视)and never be late to do what I have promised to .

“No, madam,” said the policeman at the other end, “But cats are really very6 animals. They sometimes live for days in the snow, and when it melts(融化)and somebody finds them, they are quite7.”
Mrs. Andrews felt8 when she heard this “And”, she said, “Our cat is very9. She almost talks.”
The policeman was getting rather tired. “Well then,” he said, “Why don’t you put your10 down? Maybe she is trying to telephone you now.”

When Susan told me that she was terribly ill and probably would die. I cried. I didn’t understand why this happened to my best friend. Then Susan1me a red ribbon(丝带) without saying anything.
A month later, Susan was at a hospital about two hours away from where we lived. I asked my dad to take me to see her. I wanted to give my best friend a2. So I took out the ribbon and cut it into two pieces with scissors(剪刀). I put one in my pocket and the other in an envelope(信封), along with a letter explaining it to her. I told her to keep her3beside her bed, and I would keep mine near me, too. Then I went to the hospital one Friday afternoon, wondering (想知道) if the ribbon would4anything to her. I walked into the room and ran over to give her a big hug. Then I gave her a teddy bear and the envelope. We talked for a while and then she started looking5, so I asked her to get some rest and left the hospital. All the way home I6the ribbon close to me.
For the next four months, the ribbon was with me7I went: school, home, shopping, and at friends’ houses. Where I went, it went. It was something to remind(提醒)me that I had a friend who would8home very soon. Susan said that she wore her ribbon9her arm all the time and she always had it close to her when she was being tested and treated.
Finally, Susan came home! I was so happy. That night, I looked at the ribbon which was still with me. I had a feeling it would never10, that I would remember what had happened during the time she had been ill.
