Some plants get so hungry they eat flies,spiders,and even small frogs. What's more amazing is that these plants occur naturally (in special environments) in every state. In fact,they're found on every continent except Antarctica.

You've probably seen a Venus' flytrap (捕蠑草) .It's often sold in museum gift stores,de?partment stores,and even supermarkets. A small plant,it grows 6 to 8 inches tall in a contain?er. At the end of its stalks (莖) are specially modified leaves that act like traps. Inside each trap is a lining of tiny trigger (觸發(fā)) hairs. When an insect lands on them,the trap suddenly shut. Over the course of a week or so,the plant feeds on its catch.

The Venus' flytrap is just one of more than 500 species of meateating plants,says Barry Meyers-Rice,the editor of the International Carnivorous Plant Society's Newsletter. Note: Despite any sciencefiction stories (科幻小說(shuō)) you might have read,no meateating plant does any danger to humans.

Dr. Meyers-Rice says a plant is meateating,only if it does all four of the following： " at?tract,kill,digest,and absorb" some form of insects,including flies,butterflies,and moths. Meateating plants look and act like other green plants―well,most of the time.

All green plants make sugar through a process called photosynthesis (光合作用) .Plants use the sugar to make food. What makes " meateating" plants different is their bugcatching leaves. They need insects for one reason;nitrogen (氮) .Nitrogen is a nutrient that they can't obtain by any other way. Why?

Almost all green plants on our planet get nitrogen from the soil. " Meateating" plants can't. They live in places where nutrients are hard or almost impossible to get from the soil be?cause of its acidity (酸度) .So they've come to rely on getting nitrogen from insects and small animals. In fact,nutrientrich soil is poisonous to "meateating" plants. Never fertilize (施肥) them!But don't worry,either,if they never seem to catch any insects. They can survive,but they'll grow very slowly.

   C. It can attract,kill,digest and absorb some form of insects.

   B. Probably because the source of nitrogen is adequate.

   C. Simply because the nutrientrich soil will do harm to them.

   D. Perhaps they can get fertilize by themselves.

(   ) 4. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

Many of the home electric goods which are advertised as liberating the modern woman tend to have the opposite effect,because they simply change the nature of work instead of eliminating it. Machines have a certain novelty (新奇的) value,like toys for adults. It is certainly less tiring to put clothes in a washing machine,but the time saved does not really amount to much：the machine has to be watched,the clothes have to be carefully sorted out first,stains removed by hand,buttons pushed and water changed,clothes taken out,aired and ironed. It would be more liberating to pack it all off to a laundry and not necessarily more expensive,since no capital in?vestment is required. Similarly,if you really want to save time you do not make cakes with an electric mixer,you buy one in a shop. If one compares the image of the woman in the women's magazine with the goods advertised by those periodicals,one realizes how useful a projected im?age can be commercially. A careful balance has to be struck; if you show a laboursaving de?vice,follow it up with a complicated recipe on the next page;on no account hint at the notion that a woman could get herself a job,but instead foster her sense of her own usefulness,empha?sizing the creative aspect of her function as a housewife. So we get cake mixes where the cook simply adds an egg herself,to produce "that lovely homebaked flavour the family love"，and knitting patterns that can be made by hand,or worse still,on knitting machines,which became tremendously fashionable when they were first introduced. Automatic cookers are advertised by pictures of pretty young mothers taking their children to the park,not by professional women presetting (預(yù)先設(shè)置) the dinner before leaving home for work.

(   ) 1. What does the underlined word " eliminating" mean?

   A. Wiping out. B. Doing away with. C. Throwing out. D. Carring off.

(   ) 2. What is the shortcoming of the home electric goods advertised as liberating the mod?ern women according to the author?

   A. They have absolutely no value for the housewives.

   B. They really save the housewife very little time.

   C. They save the housewife's time but not her money.

   D. The can remove unpleasant aspects of housework.

(   ) 3. In the writer's opinion,the goods advertised in women's magazines are really meant to         .

   A. free housewives from housework

   B. encourage housewives to go out to work

   C. make housewives into excellent cooks

   D. give them a false sense of fulfillment

(   ) 4. What is the main meaning of this passage?

   A. Consuming anything just relying on the basic need not the advertising.

   B. Tremendous fashion can't bring you a certain novelty value.

   C. Advertising is reliable and always describes things true to the fact.

   D. Women have to redouble their efforts to get the real liberation.

"Do you still remember your dreams from childhood? They're like flowers that never fade," 23-year-old Liu Wei told a rapt (全神貫注的，入迷的) audience during a broadcast of the nationwide talent competition China's Got Talent. Liu,an armless pianist from Beijing,was named one of the show's finalists.

Liu once had arms. At the age of 10 he accidentally grabbed a highvoltage wire and lost his arms. "My family and I were so desperate then," Liu recalled. He credits a disable boy he met at the hospital who gives him the strength to cheer him up.

He was forced to give up playing soccer        (his favorite sport) but bounced back and chal?lenged himself to learn swimming. After two years,Liu had won two gold medals and one sil?ver at the National Swimming Championship for the disabled in 2002.

By the age of 19,Liu had taught himself how to play the piano with his feet,fulfilling a childhood dream of composing and producing music,he said with a big smile. " Given enough time,I could be just as same as anyone."

"I can read music and have figured out the4 toeing' by myself," he told. According to Liu,the big toe is the most flexible digit when "toeing"，but that he can only reach five keys at the same time. "It means I have to train my toes to move more rapidly," he said.

"We've all fought for our dreams when we were young,but no one has fought as hard as you," commented Gao Xiaosong. Gao is one of the show's judges and one of most influential music producers inChina.

"You tell us that to realize our dream,we need to spare no pains," said Yi Nengjing,a show judge and Taiwanese pop star.

"I've received a lot of letters of support,all encouraging me to focus on my music," Liu said. When asked what he would do when the show was over,he revealed several music compa?nies had asked to sign him. But whatever happened,he added he is sure he would keep pursuing his dream.

"Music is like water and air to me," he said. "I can't live without it."

   B. He got seriously ill and lost his arms.

   C. He had a terrible accident and lost his arms.
