"Soon,you're going to have to move out!" cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest to?mato plant known to mankind,or at least known in my neighborhood.

One tiny 9-inch plant,bought for $ 1. 25 in the spring,has already taken over much of my rose bed,covering much of other plants,and is well on its way to the front door.

Roses require a good deal of care,and if it weren't for the pleasure they give,it wouldn't be worth the work. As it is,I have a garden full of sweetsmelling roses for most of the year,bushes must be pruned (剪枝) in early spring,leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available (可用的) in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant.

Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing (施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.

Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold. First,I have to find the red ones among the leaves,which means I almost have to stand on my head,and once found I have to reach down and under,pick the tomatoes and withdraw (縮回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two fullblown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June,but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.

Here I am faced with a painful small decision：To tear up a wonderful and productive toma?to plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind,I'll think about that tomorrow.

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) 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.

   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?

   A. Meateating Plant Does No Danger to Humans

   B. Let These Plants Swat (重?fù)? the Bugs for You

   C. No Need to Fertilize Meateating Plants

   D. No Insects,No "Meateating" Plants

Fearful parents are saying no to sleepovers,banning children as old as 15  from using pub?lic transport on their own and watching over their kids like hawks at the local park,according to a new British study.

The survey of 6,099 people commissioned (受委托) by LV = Streetwise,a charity that ed?ucates children about safety,revealed that nearly a quarter of children aged 15 or under were not allowed to sleep at a friend's house,60 percent were forbidden to travel on public transport alone and 43 percent can't go to the park without a parent or guardian.

It said more than 60 percent of mums and dads think the world is more dangerous than when they were kids.

"It's difficult for parents to know when is the right time to step back and allow children to experience things on their own,and this report shows just how much things have changed over the last generation," said LV = group chief executive Mike Rogers in a statement.

In contrast,just four percent of today's adults say they were banned from sleepingover when they were 15 or younger,only two percent were forbidden to use public transport,and the same number couldn't go out on their own in familiar surroundings,such as their local town or park.

"Stranger danger" is the number one worry for over half of all parents (54 percent) ，fol?lowed by bullying (47) ”mugging (47) and road danger (34) .

On average,children today can look forward to walking to school on their own by the age of 11,use public transport on their own at 12 ,and babysit their brother or sister by the time they're 14.

In contrast,parents say they were allowed to walk to school unaccompanied at the age of nine,use public transport alone by the time they were 11 ,and babysit a sibling by the time of their 12th birthday.

Parents know they are being tougher on their children and over a third said they felt uneasy that their kids do not get the same opportunities as they did to experience freedom as a young?ster.

(   ) 5. According to the text,which can best describe the feeling of the fearful parents?
