These plants cant get enough food from the ground, so they need to eat something else. Today Id like to introduce two kinds of plants to you.The first kind of plant has red leaves. Many insects love bright colours like red. When they see the red leaves on this plant, they fly down for supper! But the leaves have lots of long hair on them. If an insect touches the hair, the two sides of the leaf close together at once. The poor insect is inside the leaf and cannot get out. It becomes food for the plant. The plant eats it slowly. It takes the plant about 12 to 15 days to finish its meal.Some big plants can even catch animals. Another kind of plant has special leaves with hair on them. This hair shines. When insects and animals see the leaves, they come to have a look. If an insect jumps onto a leaf, it gets caught by the hair. The hair moves very quickly and holds the insect so it cannot move. Then the leaf closes round it, and the plant begins to eat.答案：14. T 15. F16. T17. T 18. T19. FD.
