Can plants eat people? Probably not, but there are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are big, and thay can eat small animals. One famous meat-eating plant is Venus Flytraps(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 hour, the leafpress 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!

During the day we work and play，and at night we sleep. Our body rests（休息）when we sleep. In the morning we are ready(准备)to work and play again. Our body grows most when we are asleep. Children who are tired usually need sleep. We can get better at our lessons after having plenty of rest. Boys and girls who are eight or nine years old need ten hours of sleep every night. Our body needs plenty of air when we are asleep. If we do not get enough fresh air, we will feel tired when we wake up(醒来). While in bed we must not cover(盖)our head, our lungs need to get enough fresh air. If we open our windows at night, we can have plenty of fresh air. Cool air is better than warm air.

Apple's iPhone Users can scan(扫描）their fingerprint to unlock their phone without using a password.The technology is called Touch ID.

The fingerprint sensor(传感器）can also be used to buy apps from the App Store.However, you can't use Touch ID to buy from online sites or use your fingerprint for banking.

Touch ID is designed to improve the phone's security(安全性）.Without passwords stored on your phone,access(有权使用）is only granted by a person's unique fingerprint.That makes it hard for thieves to get hold of your details. But others think this promise of better security is false.Joe Schumacher,from the security company Neohapsis, told CNN"the fingerprint reader is more like a sales tactic(策略）and it doesn’t really improve the security of the phone.

People from Germany hackead(黑客）into the Touch ID.They took a picture of a fingerprint left on some glass,and printed it on plastic. Then they used it to unlock the phone!Scary, right? Although most thieves won't be able to do this,the problem is still there.

One of the men,nicknamed Starbug,told the Daily Mail:"Fingerprints should not be used to secure anything.You leave them everywhere, and it's very easy to make fake fingers."

Who is right? ls a fingerprint scanner safer than a password?What do you think?

a. People can hack into the Touch ID with a special computer.

b. It is possible to make fake fingers.

c. People leave fingerprints everywhere.

d. Anyone's fingerprint can unlock the phone.

At present, air pollution may be the greatest problem and people all over the world pay attention to it. The Chinese government has done a lot to deal with it. One of them is to produce electric vehicles(机动车)，especially electric cars. China plans to put at least half a million electric cars on the road by 2015.

      Electric cars are hard to sell. Even with the help of the government, there are still many problems. So it isn’t easy to get more people to use electric cars. One reason is that the electric car is very expensive. A Shenzhen driver said that an electric car cost 80 percent more than the Santana(桑塔纳). Another reason is that we haven’t built enough charging stations(充电站). Sometimes when an electric car uses up its electricity, it cannot find shops to repair them easily.

      Besides China, the United States, Japan and Germany also do their best to create electric vehicles. But China has done more than them.
