  New York is one of the most exciting cities in the world.

  You might want to do some shopping in New York. The Fifth Avenue is probably New York's most famous shopping street. But if you go,be prepared to "window shop" only. This is shopping for the rich. There are other less expensive shopping areas nearby,and you'll soon find famous stores such as Bloomingdale's,Macy's and FAO Schwartz. And if you've brought your rollerblades (滑板) ，then a visit to Central Park is a must. This is a large,open park right in the middle of Manhattan. But if you thought that people came here to relax,then you'd be wrong. Nobody sits in Central Park: they run,jog (慢跑) ，and most of all they rollerblade.

  When you leave New York,you might be tired,but the one thing you won't be is bored！

1. Is New York one of the most exciting cities in the world?

2. Where is for the rich to go shopping?

3. Is Macy's a shopping area or an amusement park?

4. Central Park is on the right of Manhattan,isn't it?

5. What do people often do in Central Park?

   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 meateating plant is Venus Flytrap (捕蠅草) .

  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 an hour,the leaf presses 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.
