In the park I sat down to read on the bench, disappointed by life with good reason to complain, for the world was 43letting me down.
Then a young boy came up to me and said with great excitement, “Look, what I found!” In his hand was a flower and he placed it to his nose. He said with overacted surprise, “It sure 44pretty and it’s for you.”
The flower before me was dead. But I knew I must 45it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower and replied, “Just what I need. ” But 46placing the flower in my hand, he held it midair without reason. It was then that I noticed for the very first time, that the boy was blind.

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-cating 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!

“Well, we’re in our new house. Let’s get a new pet to go along with it,” Mrs. Brown said to her husband.
“That sounds like a very good idea,” he answered. “Do you want to see the ads in the newspaper?”
“Let’s go to the animal shelter. Many pets there need homes. Since tomorrow is Saturday, we can both go,” she said.

Have you ever seen the film Traveling Bird? In the film, groups of birds fly high above the skyand cross the way above snow, rivers, fields, sea and grassland. I’m sure you will love the beautiful picture when you see the film.
But you may not feel so good if you have learnt about bird flu（禽流感）from TV or on the Internet. Some governments had to kill chickens in their cities. A large number of chickens and even some people died in Asia, and nearly 8,500 birds died in Russia because of bird flu.
Chickens can get bird flu from the feces（粪便）of the passing birds. It is not so difficult to control the chickens in cages or on farms. But it is much more difficult to control the birds in the sky.
Luckily,scientists have found a medicine for bird flu. But the virus（病毒）can change easily and quickly. So bird fluis still a serious problem we must face.
66. We know how birds get bird flu from the film Traveling Bird.
67. Not only birds and chickens but also man can get bird flu.
68. The feces of the passing birds can not cause bird flu.
69. It is easier to control chickens than to control flying birds.
70. Scientists have found the medicine, so we needn’t worry about bird flu any more.
