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!

Several years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America．One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York．
The reporter was talking to them about being important．
“How do we know if someone is really important?”the reporter asked the banker．
The banker thought for a few moments and then said,“I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President of the United States is really important．”
The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company．“Do you agree with that?”she asked．
The man shook his head,“No．I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House．You’d only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it．”
The reporter turned to the third man．“Do you think so?”
“No, I don’t,”he said．“I don’t think that makes the visitor important．That makes the President important．”
“Then what would make the visitor important?”the reporter and the other two men asked．

“Millions of young people will lose their hearing in five years if they listen to MP3 or MP4 players at a too high voice every day,” scientists say recently．
Do you often listen to MP3 players at a too high voice? Are you frightened to hear this?
The sizes of MP3 players are very small, but small MP3 players make it easy to take hundreds of songs with you．So many young people carry them and listen to music every day．MP3 players are very popular among students．
The scientists say teenagers should be far from high volume(音量), including mobile phones’ noise．A study says, “High volume and long listening time can cause hearing problems．” They think if young people listen at more than 89 decibels(分贝)every day, they will lose their hearing in five years．A scientist said, “So many young people often use personal music players and mobile phones at a high voice．I am afraid that they may be losing their hearing．
