Like many other animals, swallows will fly south when the days turn cold and the leaves from trees begin to fall. They travel many miles to find a warmer winter. This type of travel is called migration(迁徙).

Birds are animals that like to migrate a lot when it is cold. About 600 out of 9,000 kinds of birds do it. They leave in autumn and come back during the warm spring months.

Many birds don’t like the cold. They need food, but plants die and insects hide in winter. So, they’ll only come home the next year, when there will be lots of food for them to eat.

But the trip is often hard and not safe. Many birds fly in groups and make noises. Cranes fly in groups like the letter V, or in a row. Others travel in pairs or alone.

Some can travel a very long way. They fly between lands. For example, the Arctic tern(北极燕鸥) can travel 20,100 kilometres. They build a home near the North Pole, go to the Antarctic(南极洲) in autumn, and then come back in spring.

How do the birds find their way? They look at things like the sun, moon and stars. They never get lost.

A. alone B. groups C. pairs D. itself

( )4. Birds find their way by _____.

A. following the wind B. listening to noises other birds make

( )5. What can we learn from the passage?

A. All the birds like to migrate.

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 fl 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(压)the fly until it is dead．Then，the plant covers the fly．Slowly，the plant eats the fly．

Plants are living things that have leaves and roots and grows in earth．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．Where does the Venus flytrap grow?

2．What does the meat-eating plant look like?

3．What’s inside the leaves of the plant?

4．What do most meat-eating plants get for their food?

5．In some places．why do some plants get energy from animal meat?
