    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!

(1)、The Venus flytrap is a kind of________.
A、plant B、animal C、food D、meat
(2)、The Venus flytrap grows in________.
A、most parts of the world B、some parts of Africa C、dry parts of the United States D、wet parts of England
(3)、From the passage, we learn that________.
A、all plants can eat people B、all plants can eat animals C、some plants can eat people D、some plants can eat animals
(4)、The underlined word "presses" in the passage probably means"________" in Chinese.
A、挤压 B、关上 C、打开 D、松开
(5)、Some plants eat animal meat because________.
A、plants are dangerous to animals B、animals are dangerous to plants C、plants want to get what they need from animal meat D、plants want to protect themselves against animals
举一反三

    Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two—thirds of the world's population live within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.

    In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive (=continue to live). Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of man's needs.

    The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man's technology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined (开采).

    Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish (贝类动物) is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental people.

    Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents (水流) and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.

    Technology is enabling man to explor ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.

    The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2000 the problems that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.

Many people think self-confidence is the key to a happy, successful life. But where does self-confidence come from?{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

I'm Lucy. Self-confidence means that I can do something well. When people listen to me and pay attention to my ideas, I know they like me. When people don't listen, I sometimes feel sad.

These kinds of things come naturally and from the heart, but they make a big difference in the way a person feels.

Do you want to write a story? Ask ChatGPT and you will get the story just one second later. If you write"a girl wants to go to Australia", you will get the story of Alice, who goes through many difficult things to travel to Australia.

ChatGPT is made by the US company OpenAI. It came out in November 2022. It changes the Internet in a very short time. People can ask it to write stories and emails, answer all kinds of questions and even do homework. In its own words, it is"a big language model* which helps users to write anything they like."

Different from Siri, ChatGPT uses a much bigger database*. It can also learn things by itself. For example, if it gives a wrong answer to your question, you can tell it the right one and it can make changes. "It's a really great product!"Liu Xiaoguang, a computer scientist from China, says,"Its level is the sameas an undergraduate* student's. That's why it surprises the world."

But one big problem with ChatGPT is that it cannot give right information all the time. Rezza, a 28— year—old English learner from France, uses ChatGPT to write a passage."It gives little useful information", he tells a newspaper. Besides, some students will learn nothing if they always use ChatGPT to do homework.This is because they won't think by themselves. So we should be careful to use ChatGPT.

What is the future of ChatGPT? Maybe scientists need to work more on it.
