New York is one of the most exciting cities in the world.

You might want to do some shopping in New York. The Fifth Avenue is probably New York's most famous shopping street. But if you go,be prepared to "window shop" only. This is shopping for the rich. There are other less expensive shopping areas nearby,and you'll soon find famous stores such as Bloomingdale's,Macy's and FAO Schwartz. And if you've brought your rollerblades (滑板) ，then a visit to Central Park is a must. This is a large,open park right in the middle of Manhattan. But if you thought that people came here to relax,then you'd be wrong. Nobody sits in Central Park: they run,jog (慢跑) ，and most of all they rollerblade.

When you leave New York,you might be tired,but the one thing you won't be is bored！

2. Where is for the rich to go shopping?

3. Is Macy's a shopping area or an amusement park?

What's the real meaning of the word "peace"? The f (1) story may tell us something about it.

There was once a king who offered an award to an artist who could paint the b (2) picture of peace. Many a (3) tried. The king looked at all the pictures. But there were only two he really liked and he had to choose between them.

One picture was a calm lake. The lake was a perfect thing for peace because of the high mountains around it. And overhead was a blue sky with white clouds. A (4) who saw this picture would think that it was a perfect picture of peace.

The other picture had mountains too. But they were rugged (高低不平的) .Above was the dark sky,from which heavy rain fell. A waterfall was rushing down the side of the mountain. This picture did not look p (5) at all. But when the king looked c (6) he found behind the waterfall a very small bush g (7) and a mother bird sitting on her nest (鸟窝) in perfect peace.

The king gave the award to the artist who painted the s (8) picture. Why? "Because," explained the king, "peace does not mean a place where there is no n (9) or trouble. Peace m (10) in the midst of all those things,you're still calm in your heart. That's the real meaning of peace."

It is true that times are changing for the old people in Britain. But not all the changes are bad ones. Modern medicine,for example,has made old people h 1 than ever before. Another advantage is that there are m 2 more old people than there used to be. Old people,too,have more money than their o 3 parents and grandparents had.

The b 4 problem of modern life for old people is loneliness. The young leave home when they grow up and many old people live a 5 Fewer old people have brothers and sisters like their parents and grandparents. An old person's one or two children may have m 6 to another part of the country. Even when they live nearby,the young people have their own work to do and their own c 7 to look after. They have not much time for the old. Problems of loneliness often start when they s 8 work. When people retire,they find it difficult to start a new life without their jobs.

The world has changed so fast since 1900 that it is d 9 for old people to understand the problems of the young. And the world is changing even faster these days than fifty years ago. It makes you think,doesn't it? What will it be like when t 10 young people are old?

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 meateating plant is Venus Flytrap (捕蝇草) .

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 so 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 and slowly eats it.

Why do plants do that? 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 bigger plants don't get the same idea!
