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 th e 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 id ea!

In the United States, headmasters and teachers discipline(惩罚) students in several ways. The teacher often writes to or calls the students’ parents. Sometimes students have to stay at school for one hour. If a student behaves very badly, the headmaster can stop the students having classes. The student can’t come to school for one, two or three days. Mr. Lazarus, the headmaster of a middle school in Ohio, did not like to do so. When he didn’t let the students come to school, they were happy.“A three-day holiday!” they thought.

One day, a boy was in Mr. Lazarus’ office. The boy was not behaving well in class. Mr. Lazarus telephoned the boy’s parents.“If you come to school with your son, I won’t stop him having classes,”he said. The boy’s father came to school and went with his son to every class. Other students looked at the boy  and his father. The boy was embarrassed(尴尬的). After that he behaved better. And, of course, other students behaved better, too.

Now headmasters all over the USA are trying Mr. Lazarus’s idea. They too, think that students behave better when parents come to school.

Baby dolls are teaching teenagers what it is like to be parents. At Smoky Hill High School, two boys and 78 girls are caring for the dolls. 61.        . There is a computer inside each one and the computer keeps track of(跟踪) how well the student takes care of the ‘baby’.

The teacher gives each student one baby doll to take care of for 48 hours. If the student drops the ‘baby’, it cries. It also cries if the student puts his or her hands on its stomach or on its left side. The doll cries every three and a half hours, and the ‘parents’ have to put a key into a hole in its back. 62.        . It is just like having to feed a baby every few hours. The students take the dolls wherever they go—to school, to work and to their homes.

“63.          . I can’t study. I can’t have fun because she always needs something,” one student says.

Kim, a 14-year-old girl, thought that having a baby would be a lot of fun before.  “ I’ve always liked to baby-sit, so I thought it would be fun to take care of baby. But not any more! 64.            and I can get away from all the work it takes to take care of this doll!”

Many of the girls who become the doll’s mothers feel that a baby will be something to love. They also want the love that a baby will give to them. 65.       . Ms. Cortese believes that this program lets teens see how difficult it is to be a parent.

C. These dolls are not toys.

D. My baby cries all the time.
